Amoeba Music

Ginger Baker is famous for playing in the classic rock bands Cream and Blind Faith, but the world's greatest drummer didn't feel like he had hit his stride until 1972, when he arrived in Nigeria and discovered Fela Kuti's Afrobeat music. After leaving Nigeria, Ginger returned to his pattern of drug-induced self-destruction, eventually settling in South Africa, where the 73-year-old lived with his young bride and 39 polo ponies. Beware Of Mr. Baker catapults the viewer into Ginger's unique life, where with every smash of the bass drum, there is a man behind it smashing his way through life. It includes interviews with Charlie Watts, Chad Smith, Mickey Hart, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Carlos Santana and more!
