Robert Hood
's techno and
Femi Kuti
's Afrobeat intertwine in a new form where jazz-grooves reign supreme. For the fourth season of La Compagnie des Indes and Sourdoreille ("Variations") live series of creations for France TV, the duo were united around the singer and producer
James Brown
, performing a tribute to the legendary Godfather of Soul who passed away in 2006. This
Variations
album is the live recording of this unique collaboration and performance, capturing a very special moment in time. The evening witnessed a meeting of two icons in their own genres: one with synths and drum machines, the other on saxophone: Robert Hood and Femi Kuti embody excellence in their respective fields and the pair combined to make something truly unique, soulful, funky and spontaneous. Recorded in one 30+ minute take,
Variations
is embellished by Femi's exquisitely free-flowing yet restrained saxophone, whilst Hood anchors the groove with layers of pads and kicks with the long-time mastery of a true DJ. Alongside
Jeff Mills
and
Mad Mike
, Hood is one of the original members of Detroit techno group
Underground Resistance
. His style is characterized by minimalist and experimental tones with an assertive groove. Throughout the '90s, he helped pave the way for techno to flourish -- giving birth to minimal techno with his seminal album
Minimal Nation
. Since then, he has been consistently forwarding electronic music culture with ground-breaking productions, sensational performances and his M-Plant label. Alongside him, Femi Kuti takes on every musical style with his saxophone, which he plays with a virtuoso touch: pop, soul, electronic music and Afrobeat, of which he is one of the leading exponents. The son of Afrobeat singer and political activist
Fela Kuti
, he has inherited his father's zeal for both music and activism, where he continues to highlight the plight of most Nigerians living conditions in the oil rich state. With
Variations
the duo capture an explosive combination on a special night in Paris in November 2019, filmed at the ADP Group headquarters.
