Beware of Mr. Baker
Country: USA
Director: Jay Bulger
Legendary drummer Ginger Baker, (Cream, Blind Faith), didn’t hit his stride until 1972, when he went to Nigeria and discovered the Afrobeat of Fela Kuti. He returned to his pattern of drug-induced self-destruction, and countless groundbreaking musical works, eventually settling down in South Africa, where the 73-year-old now lives with his young bride and 39 polo ponies. This fascinating documentary includes interviews with Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Johnny Rotten, Charlie Watts, Carlos Santana and more. (2012; 92 min)
