Tape op was focused on DIY in the beginning, like build your own microphone, and had an active message board. The magazine grew up and today is a prime advertising platform for recording gear, no measurements and "everything sounds great." Not ASR-philosophy.

Fela Kuti of Nigeria was a hardworking large ensemble leader famous for Afrobeat, combining horns with African drumming in a danceable style.
Ian Brennan interviews Femi Kuti, Martin Meissonnier, Rikki Stein, Sodi Marciszewer, and Yorrick Benoist.
There are many documentaries and live concert videos out there.
