NPR on new Chopteeth Live CD
All About Jazz published an article this week about the new Chopteeth Live CD, and it was featured on the website of National Public Radio—nice! Here's a taste:
Bursting with old-school big band power, Afrobeat crew Chopteeth know how to turn skeptical foot-tappers into shirt-whirling, wolf-whistling believers. The group regularly fills DC's dance floors with nostalgic African fans and American-born converts to the style exemplified by the now revered Fela Kuti. Chopteeth Live captures that full-on energy, with a heavy-hitting horn section, layers of irresistibly catchy interlocking percussion, and carefully crafted takes on African pop classics. 01/15/11
