More Trouble Everyday (Frank Zappa Cover)

Does the future of "Rock" Music lie in Africa now?? Well, we do think so, as strange as it may sound...Want proof?? Fine... Check out our cover version of Frank Zappa's "More Trouble Everyday". Video by courtesy of © X media Kenya and © Cool Waters Jazz & Roots Festival, Live in Nairobi on Sept 24th 2016 A short piece oh history now... "R&B", asserts Bo Diddley in Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll (Taylor Hackford’s biographical documentary film about Chuck Berry) "don’t stand for nothing but rip-off and bullshit". What he, Berry and Richard played, he continues, was called rock ’n’ roll until Caucasians started playing it, and then suddenly "they was rock and roll and we were R&B". And R&B meant the ghetto: it meant cheap-jack record companies most if not all of which were white- owned, paying miserly or nonexistent royalties. (Charles Shaar Murray, "Crosstown Traffic: Jimi Hendrix and Post-War Pop") How far have we come since these times? Have things really changed? With that idea in mind, we are humbly trying to offer an alternative to this long lasting issue. Will it be solved eventually? Who knows how or when? 'Cause the Gary Clark Jrs and Benjamin Bookers of this world ain't gonna change a damn thing about this mess... Anyhow, the Fantastic Musicians on this video are Mr Asaph Uzele (Kenya) on the Bass and Mr Christian Kibamba (Burundi) on the Drums Peace and enjoy
