This is literally fela kuti bastardized for white teenagers

This is literally fela kuti bastardized for white teenagers

but in the 70s being a white teenager was the best thing you could possibly be.

you must be thinking of Talking Heads

"no" All of can's music was world fusion anyway. Their grooves didn't stick to one style indefinitely and fela never had minimal ambient parts like future days either.

what the fuck is the point of "fusion" you're basically admitting that they lack the talent or vision to be unique

literally like white producers sampling black rappers music because they dont have the intelligence to make something new

why do people think remain in light sounds like anything fela kuti ever did? brian eno showed talking heads fela kuti so it seems like they jump to conclusions without even thinking too hard about it. also epic thread op

how did you get lacking talent or uniqueness from the word fusion? the drummer was one of the best jazz drummers at the time in germany and the rest could improvise like on ones business. it's sort of subjective but i can hardly find anything else that sounds like can that preceded so i'd say they're unique in some sense

fusion as in they combined aspects of different traditional and modern musical styles. Just doing that was pretty unique in the late 60's and early 70's unless you count psych rock taking some ragas from indian classical music and putting it in the context of pop or rock. As far as talent, Jaki and Irmin were not only excellent players but could pull off difficult shit very subtly within a groove.

Do you just think this whenever you hear any ostinato based music you fucking mongoloid?

Psych musicians didn't usually use ragas themselves. Just the instruments used to play them. There are examples of actual fusion of the western and eastern musical traditions, but most of the time it was just sitars playing pop music.
