CHOP AND QUENCH: THE FELA! BAND - 21.05.15

Chop and Quench, "The Fela! Band", is comprised of members of the cast and band of "FELA! the musical". Individually, the musicians are some of the finest in New York, having performed with The Roots, India Arie, Elvis Costello, and many others. As a unit, the band has gotten to accompany performers such as Beyonce, Femi Kuti, and Angelique Kidjo. Known for their straightforward performances of classic Fela Kuti compositions, they have branched out, bringing their own original music to the stage.

After performing around the world, they recently performed at the Sundance Film Festival in conjunction with the premier of Alex Gibney's film "Finding Fela". They are now back home in New York preparing new material to take into the studio for their first recording since the Fela!
