Netflix is currently streaming Ginger Baker In Africa, an incredibly loose documentary surrounding the British percussion wizard's trip from Algeria to Lagos, Nigeria in November of 1971. And by 'loose' I mean 53 minutes of (ostensibly) amateur footage that oscillates between off-the-cuff jam sessions, animated beat-poetry narration, along with scattered "on the road" vignettes. If you're into this sort of trip (we are) it's great - if not, don't bother. The headiest of travelogues.
