Robert Hood & Femi Kuti jouent James Brown
In France TV's Variations showcases, duos create electronic-acoustic collaborations that are like dives into the unknown. In its fourth season in 2019, Variations presented an unprecedented encounter of Detroit techno innovator Robert Hood with Afrobeat saxophonist Femi Kuti to bring to new life to the little-known music of the Godfather of Soul, James Brown. The jazz side of JB from the horn of Pee Wee Ellis was the focus. The electronic producer largely lays the foundation for the set with his minimalist beats and experimental colors which free Kuti to deliver his explosive improvisations. Kuti says that Robert “built the house and I did the decoration.” There are stretches of call-and-response grooves as well as chants of “stomp your feet” and sample-like JB singular shouts. Femi's father was the master Fela Kuti who controversially jazzified the Ghana-born highlife music in his native Nigeria and became known as the African James Brown. He was the chief purveyor of Afrobeat. A virtuoso on his instrument, Femi takes the source and charges ahead with an edgy brew of pop, soul, avant-jazz. No lyricism, just grit and determination. While the pair had never worked together, based on a telephone conversation prior to this show, they agreed that they linked spiritually.
