    Love the grooves and solos. Thanks big D.
    My buttoned-up uk honky sensibilities made me felt a bit uncomfortable with some of the dancing tho'! :-0 'Dear Daily Mail...'

    Dear Shocked of Gloucester

    One must make allowances for native dancing.

    One has seen Fela's son, Femi, in concert whose dancers were possibly even more, ahem, African.

    One is recommended to prepare one's doilies and bone china, and site down for a little Darjeeling and Rich Tea biscuits, while dipping into one's Daily Mail. :-)

    Don't worry Ben, they were probably all his wives!

    Indeed, they were. I think he had 27 wives at his peak!

    In 1997. Alas, like a lot of people in Africa.
