AMERICAN veteran rapper, Jay Z, continues to pay tribute to Nigerian music legend, Fela Kuti, as he includes one of his records in the soundtrack of a new Netflix movie "The Harder They Fall".
Jay Z stated that Fela's song represented black people and also influenced culture.
In an interview at the London screening of the movie, the hip-hop mogul said:
"The idea of adding those landscapes to these images is super interesting. If you think about the time when Western was super popular and was the only thing on TV, it was influencing the world
"So you had people in Jamaica dress up as Cowboys because these are images they had seen on TV.
"So there is actually that place that exists over Western music and we have a few of those.
"Just that juxtaposition of how art influences life and life influences culture was just interesting to us, and Fela Kuti was so hard it was just the best trailer music of all time.
"That's what I listen to in the house, Jeymes (Samuel)-director of the movie- as well; that's what we listen to when we kicking it. So we just put the things that we really love because it's magic and magic going work."
Fela's record 'Let's Start' from 1971 'Live' album is the record used in one of the trailers for the movie.
