In 1971, after several years of musical experimentation following the breakup of the super-group, British drummer made his way to Lagos, Nigeria, where he helped set up EMI's new 16-track recording studio. It was here that Baker re-united with his friend Fela Anikulapo Kuti (then known as Fela Ransome-Kuti) and recorded Stratavarious (Atco SD 7013), one of the first collaborations between an African musician and a Western rock star. To the best of my knowledge, Stratavarious has been out of print ever since it was released in 1972 and consigned to oblivion shortly thereafter, although one or two cuts from it may have been included in compilations. It is very much Ginger Baker's 'thing,' although Fela plays an important role on several tracks. Also present is Fela's American girlfriend Sandra Izidore (credited as 'Sandra Danielle').

Strativarious is a fascinating look at a magic time when rock, jazz and Afrobeat were taking their first tentative steps toward each other, and a harbinger of fusions to come.

Like the recordings featured in the last two posts, Stratavarious was originally posted on Uchenna Ikonne's blog. Fela and Sandra Izidore take center stage on Side 1 of Stratavarious. Izidore provides vocals on 'Ariwo,' an adaptation of a Yoruba folk tune, and Fela sings lead on 'Tiwa,' with Sandra included in the backup chorus.
Fela plays keyboard on both tunes: Fela's keyboard work also features on the next two tracks. Both are notable also for the lead guitar work of Bobby Tench (here credited as 'Bobby Gass'), who had previously played with the Jeff Beck Group: Fela Ransome-Kuti plays no role in 'Blood Brothers 69' or 'Coda.'
'Blood Brothers' was apparently recorded in London in 1969, a collaboration between Baker and renowned Ghanaian percussionist, later known as Kofi Ghanaba: Stratavarious can be downloaded as a zipped file. Stratavarious was by no means Ginger Baker's first experiment with African music. Not only had he previously recorded Fela Ransome-Kuti & the Africa '70 with Ginger Baker Live!
(Signpost SP 8401, 1971), but his two LPs with had a definite African 'feel,' notably this tune from their first album (Atco SD 2-703, 1970, right). Compare it with 'Ariwo,' above: This was occasioned by the recent announcement that plans to reissue the 'complete' Fela discography, although as I pointed out, there are a few titles missing. In addition to Stratavarious, and the 1985 Bill Laswell 'remix' version of Army Arrangement (Celluloid CELL 6109) is long out of print with no plans for reissue (it was released while Fela was in prison and he is said to have hated it).

Toshiya Endo's lists a number of other tunes that have never been released in any form. Notably, Knitting Factory plans to release the 'entire' catalog of recordings Fela made with the Koola Lobitos in the 1960s. This is good news indeed. Now that you mention the musical meeting of different cultures through Fela's music, I posted some time ago two covers of Fela's Shakara from two bands from the coastal region of Colombia from around 1975 in my Blog. It's interesting how they merged Vallenato and Cumba with the Afrobeat sound.
