Fela Kuti and Rocketjuice and the Moon

Good Afternoon All,

I have been really digging Fela Kuti.  I just found out that Fela Kuti the play is coming to Chicago at the end of the month.  Those of you that are into tribal music, Fela Kuti was a pioneer of the Afro Beat. There was a play created about his contribution to music being shown in New York.  I just found out today that the play is coming to Chicago.  Since I am not working, I am kind of hesitant of purchasing tickets; however, I don't have that kind of hesitation when I see a pair of shoes that I like.  Well, before I found out the play was coming to Chicago, I have been listening to a lot of Fela Kuti and watching him in conncert on YouTube.  The dancers that perform are amazing.  It just amazes me where a lot of the dances that you see in urban America come from the Motherland.

While browsing Youtube, I also came across this new super group; Rocketjuice and the Moon.  One of the songs I am definitely feeling right now is Hey Shooter.  Rocketjuice and the Moon comprises of the Gorillaz creator Damon Albarn, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Tony Allen from Fela Kuti.  I was excited when I heard their song Hey Shooter featuring one of my favorite singers, Erykah Badu.  The music places me in the Motherland.  I can't weight (pun intended) till summer to wear some tribal jewelry, a tribal skirt with a simple tee and some tribal sandals like these:
