Spoek, Petite Noir, Zaki Ibrahim & More Cover Fela Kuti's 'Zombie'


Here's the visuals for one of the highlights off the Fela Kuti tribute compilation RED HOT + FELA. Spoek leads a tripped-out, electronic interpretation of Fela's massive "Zombie," enlisting help from fellow South African artists Petite Noir, Zaki Ibrahim, The Frown and Nicolaas Van Reenen. The Kent Andreasen-directed music video showcases the clothing of SA designer Floyd Avenue and "follows Spoek on a tropical, shadow filled expedition, sporting Avenue's designs." Watch it below.
