Femi Kuti - Politics Don Expose Them

Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti releases a powerful new song, “Politics Don Expose Them,” that confronts the rampant corruption and hypocrisy within the political system. Through his signature blend of infectious rhythms and thought-provoking lyrics, Kuti exposes the lies and deceit that have plagued society for far too long. It also comes with a crisp visual directed by Director Pink.

oh yeah bc of my "no ranking their Actual Name" rule for the artist name thing I had to google... MANY, MANY people to see whether their stage name was a stage name or not...

Google is going to have a REALLY incorrect idea of my taste in music after this.

ranking 550+ music genres: PART 5

been very exhausted lately so the next few posts might be shorter.

(13) Afro Funk

yes. this is already much better than the last three genres. thank you afro funk.

as a kid (middle school age?) i listened to a lot of disco and funk, but i dont think i specifically listened to afro funk. the sort of disco and funk id listen to were the really mainstream stuff like the bee gees. nothing wrong with them but i enjoy this departure from the same 20 or so songs you regularly hear or think of when hearing the term "funk".

once again i am hit with interesting rhythms. these songs are groovy but still lax enough that i can chill out while listening to them. overall a pleasant and relaxing experience, but some of the songs were a bit boring. going to put this in "hit or miss".

(14) Afrobeats

im hearing two conflicting definitions of afrobeats; one is what i would expect to hear on a car speaker as someone drives by (this flavor of afrobeat tends to sound very similar to one another). the other flavor is a lot more interesting in my opinion, and the flavor i will be judging this genre based on.

this genre is reminiscent of the afro funk that i just listened to. these songs seem to be a bit of a higher BPM than afro funk, or maybe just more upbeat.

the last song is closer to the first afrobeat definition i heard. "acceptable" tier.

(15) Afro House

some of the songs what similar to the first "flavor" of afrobeats i was hearing, and others are closer to the definition of house music that i had in my head going into this.

i feel like i have slowly climbed the liveliness ladder during the duration of listening for this post. these are definitely the liveliest songs ive listened to today. i have basically no energy right now despite the caffeine ive had, but these songs give me a little bit of that energy back. afro house is going into "acceptable", as something im happy to hear but probably wouldnt listen to regularly (as with most house genres nowadays).

Iyeoka Okoawo (born April 28, 1975) is a Nigerian-American poet, recording artist, singer, activist, educator, and TEDGlobal Fellow. Her music includes elements from soul, R&B, rock, hip-hop, and jazz.

A first-generation Nigerian-American, she was a practicing pharmacist before launching her musical career.

She began her musical career by founding the group The Rock by Funk Tribe, a collective of musicians that enabled her to interweave her poetry with jazz, blues, funk, and gospel. She released her first solo full-length album of poem songs, called Black and Blues, through Phanai Records. Then she began to tour and appeared on other artists’ albums, including The Press Project’s Get Right album and Memoirs of the Tempo by Tempo Valley.

She released her second album of poetry and music fusion, Hum The Bass Line, again on Phanai Records. She made a cover of U2's hit song “Desire” for a compilation of U2 covers called In The Name Of Love: Africa Celebrates U2. The album featured Grammy Award-winning/nominated African artists, including Angelique Kidjo, Les Nubians, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars, Vieux Farka Touré, Vusi Mahlasela, and the Soweto Gospel Choir.

She released her new album, Say Yes, containing nine songs and two poems, through the Underground Sun artist development company. The first song, “The Yellow Brick Road Song”, was featured in an episode of How To Make It in America. “The Yellow Brick Road Song” is being used as the theme song for the series “Fairly Legal”.

She was nominated in The 10th Annual Independent Music Awards for her song “This Time Around” in the R&B Song category.

She is touring in support of the new album and her poetry. She has toured in support of artists such as Femi Kuti, Zap Mama, and Soulive, as well as playing at musical festivals, including Bonnaroo. The buzz surrounding her poetry has garnered her national attention through performances at the TBS Trumpet Awards, the Sullivan Honors Awards at the Kennedy Center, and Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
