The Western world was in the throes of peace, love and

flower power as Nigeria descended into Civil War

in 1967. The rock scene that developed during the

following three years of bloodshed and destruction

would come to heal the country, propagate the

world-wide ideal of the Modern Nigerian, and propel

Fela Kuti to stardom after the conflict ended in 1970.

Wake Up You! tells the story of this time, pays homage

to these now-forgotten musicians and their struggle,

and brings to light the funk and psychedelic fury they

created as they wrested free of the ravages of the late

1960s and created thrilling, original Nigerian rock music

throughout the 1970s.
