2nd Set of Fela Kuti Reissues 5/11

May 3rd, 2010 | No Comments

KNITTING FACTORY RECORDS TO RELEASE SECOND SET OF FELA REISSUES MAY 11, 2010
UNIQUE PRE-SALE OFFERINGS VIA FELA.NET

Fela Kuti

Knitting Factory Records is very excited to announce that the second set of Fela Kuti reissues will be
released on May 11, 2010. Once again, as the reissues are being made available in mostly chronological order,
these seven CDs that contain 14 albums total are mostly from the mid ’70s and represent Fela and Africa ’70 in their
prime. Clearly his and the group’s most productive period (12 of the albums were released in 1975 and 1976 alone),
it is during this point in his life that Fela’s social commentary began to reach a boiling point with songs such as “Icy Blindness” and “Expensive Shit.” However, in this collection of songs he also touched on more sensual subjects as in
“Na Poi,” philosophy as in “Water No Get Enemy” and the shaking loose of the colonial mentality as in “Yellow Fever.”

The titles that are being released are:

Alagbon Close (1974)/Why Black Man Dey Suffer (1971)
Expensive Shit (1975)/He Miss Road (1975)
Everything Scatter (1975) /Noise For Vendor Mouth/ (1975)
Monkey Banana (1975)/Excuse O (1975)
Ikoyi Blindness (1976)/Kalakuta Show (1976)
Yellow Fever (1976)/Na Poi (1976)
J.J.D. (Johnny Just Drop) (1977)/Unnecessary Begging (1976)

Right now Knitting Factory Records in association with Topspin is making this collection of CDs available for pre-sale in three different configurations: offering one is the digital download of all the titles; offering two is the digital
download plus all the CDs; offering three is all of the above with the inclusion of a t-shirt. All of the titles have been
re-mastered and re-released in unique digi-packs with the original artwork.

Again, the reissue series is well timed as it coincides with the critically acclaimed FELA!, the hit Broadway musical
that has been celebrating Fela’s life and music nightly since it opened in November 2009. It was directed and
choreographed by Tony Award-winner Bill T. Jones and produced by Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Will & Jada Pinkett
Smith with music by the world-renowned Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra and other members of the NYC Afrobeat community, under the
direction of Aaron Johnson.

The next group of reissues will be released in the fall.

NY Guitar Festival’s 2nd Week

January 19th, 2010 | No Comments

THE NEW YORK GUITAR FESTIVAL ADDS ARTISTS TO LINEUP

James Blackshaw

The New York Guitar Festival announced two additional performances in its 2010 offerings, both at Le Poisson Rouge. January 26 welcomes an evening of exquisite finger-style guitar featuring music by James Blackshaw, Max Ochs, Ben Hall, and Nick Jonah Davis, while February 2 serves up Marc Ribot’s Ceramic Dog and Skeleton$.

The New York Guitar Festival launched its 10th event with a free opening night performance at World Financial Center’s Winter Garden by Slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya. Among India’s most esteemed musicians, Bhattacharya lured the packed house with music both soulfully serene and frenetically ferocious. Catch a glimpse here.


The festival boasts over 30 exceptional guitarists of jazz, classical, rock, traditional, and avant garde styles. Participating venues include Merkin Concert Hall, The 92nd Street Y, The World Financial Center’s Winter Garden, Le Poisson Rouge and Barbes.

Concerts range from an all-day Guitar Marathon interpreting the music of J.S. Bach and his contemporaries, (featuring, among other internationally-famous musicians, the Brazilian Guitar Quartet, Paul O’Dette, Ana Vidovic, Eliot Fisk, Paul Galbraith and Nigel North) to the Hindustani slide guitar music of Bhattacharya.

The festival also has a history of commissioning remarkable original works, and the 2010 season breaks yet more new ground by presenting ten classic silent films (seven by Chaplin, one by Keaton and two by Harry Smith) accompanied by original scores performed live by a spectacularly rich and varied coterie of guitarists: Gyan Riley, Alex de Grassi, Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver), Steve Kimock, David Bromberg and the members of Chicha Libre.

The New York Guitar Festival, a not-for-profit arts organization, was founded in 1999 by musician and producer David Spelman, who serves as its Artistic Director. The Festival’s goal is to broaden the public’s appreciation for the guitar by fostering emerging talent, supporting innovative collaborations among outstanding artists, and commissioning new works. In addition to producing eclectic concerts and radio broadcasts, its Guitar Harvest series of recordings supports outreach programs in New York City public schools.
