Chopteeth Afrobeat Out Today

Yes most of these guys are white…
But I plan to focus a lot on African music this month and Chopteeth has honed their skills in African rock and funk. Plus…their new live album is out today and nothing beats some good ole fashioned live Afrobeat. Unlike most American Afrobeat groups, Chopteeth doesn’t just focus on Fela Kuti and all that jazz, they actually tracked down some old forgotten Afrobeat heroes to play their songs live. These guys are legit, check out their take on Fela’s “J.J.D.” below, courtesy of the Afrobeat Blog .

P.S. Expect some actual black musicians in honor of Black History Month in the coming weeks, this is just getting the ball rolling
