Finding Fela! is a 2-hour doco that will be showing on MAORI TV on Mon night, 8:30pm.
(And possibly On Demand after.)
Fela Kuti will likely be known to World Music enthusiasts, the Nigerian is regarded as the 'pioneer of Afrobeat' & a political activist in Nigeria.
This is a 2014 documentary about his life & music, by Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney.
" Finding Fela does an exemplary job of explaining, in musical terms, what made Fela standout, a simple enough step that most music documentaries ignore. " (The Guardian)
