Fela: Kalakuta Notes is an evocative account of Fela Kuti--the Afrobeat superstar who took African music into the arena of direct action.
With his antiestablishment songs, he dedicated himself to Pan-Africanism and the down-trodden Nigerian masses, or sufferheads.
In the 1970s, the British/Ghanaian musician and author John Collins met and worked with Fela in Ghana and Nigeria.
Kalakuta Notes includes a diary that Collins kept in 1977 when he acted in Fela's autobiographical film, Black Pres.
