Fela Kuti in Dub is a showcase album containing four essential songs by Fela Kuti in the style of a Jamaican Discomix, evolving from an instrumental cover version to a dub version, celebrating the musical heritage of Nigeria and Jamaica likewise.

Please understand this work as a hommage to both musical cultures.

The four tracks were chosen because they are a timeless witness to the political potential of music, that being proofed by their actuality. The songs feature essential dub e?ects like echoes, reverb and filtering but also feature analogue sound e?ects underlining and sonically illustrating the missing lyrical content. These vary from thundery spring reverbs and percussion instruments imitating the pouring rain on ?Water No Get Enemy“ to marching soldiers and shot gun like reverbs on ?Zombie“. From a cash register on ?Expensive Shit“ to the dub sirens created live on a Korg MS10 on ?Everything Scatter“.

Only analogue instruments, sounds and dub e?ects were used on this recording. Mixing, dubs and arrangements were done live in consecutive sessions. The premaster was done by Sodi Marciszewer at Zarma Studios (Fela Kuti, Femi Kuti, Seun Kuti, Damian Marley) on the original Decca desk used by Fela Kuti in Lagos. Fela Kuti In Dub was conceived and produced by Cpt. Yossarian alias Manuel da Coll musician, producer and soundman from Munich/Germany. His last work ?Bob Marley In Dub“ (2021, Echobeach) attained a lot of critical acclaim and was featured by Don Letts on BBC6, the Riddim Magazine and Helmut Phillips book ?DUB - The Sound Of Surprise“ amongst others.

Manuel da Coll plays drums with LaBrassBanda (Bavarian Brass), FEH (Trip Hop) and runs a mobile soundsystem, the Dubtrain.one, displaying his work at live dub sessions. He is the owner of ?Studio Katzlbaum“, a studio devoted to dub production in Munich/Germany.
