A must-have item for fans has arrived: a digitally remastered recording of "Black President" Fela Kuti's November 4, 1978 live performance in Berlin, Germany, taken from a soundboard master.

Fela Kuti, who perfected "Afrobeat" with his band "Africa 70" in the 1970s and had a tremendous influence on all kinds of music, is featured in this album, which, as the title suggests, contains nearly an hour of his final performance with Africa 70.

The sheer intensity of this performance, which could be called the grand finale of Africa '70, is indescribable. The spiritual sound, with Tony Allen and Ginger Baker's twin drums intertwined with heavy percussion, is incredibly compelling and draws the listener in completely. The power and conviction of Fela's 70s stage performances, which were also carried out while he was fiercely fighting as an activist, is simply unparalleled!
