About the Book
This book contains 25 songs by Fela Kuti with transcriptions of the rhythmic base,
keyboards and wind instruments.
It also has a biography and the historical context of each song written by Sagrario Luna.
The intention is to leave written material to be used in jam sessions, as an educational
content related to Afrobeat or just to take it with you, thereby promoting Fela Kuti’s
musical legacy so that it reaches more people.
About the Author
My name is Manuel Augello. I was born in 1992 in El Bolsón, Argentinian Patagonia.
I have taken part of various musical projects as saxophonist.
I live in Uruguay since my daughter’s birth in 2018 where I formed the first Afrobeat
band of the country, Tabó Afrobeat, a project that stimulated me to look into the
genre and to study it in depth.
Since 2020 I dedicated myself in transcribing Fela Kuti’s songs and looking for the best
way of portray them in a book.
I live in Montevideo nowadays taking part of various musical projects.
