In Africa (Tony Palmer) (1971)

"Includes peformances with Fela Kuti among others! The documentary part is fascinating, but there could be more musical performances - still, what's there is teriffic. In November 1971, drummer Ginger Baker decided to set up a recording studio in Lagos, then the capital of Nigeria. He also decided that it would be a rewarding musical experience to travel Nigeria over land across the Sahara Desert - a journey that would lead him into a number of adventures. This film by Tony Palmer follows Baker's odyssey as he makes his journey and finally arrives in Nigeria to set up his studio, which would run successfully through the 70s as a facility for both local and Western musicians. Baker appears performing with various African ensembles including the then-unknown Fela Kuti." (Eagle)
