Fela Kuti : Shakara (Pink Vinyl w/ Bonus 7″)

Fela Kuti (1938-1997) was a Nigerian musician, producer, arranger, political radical, outlaw and the originator of Afrobeat. A titanic musical and sociopolitical voice, Fela’s legacy spans decades and genres, touching on jazz, pop, funk, hip-hop, rock and beyond. ‘Shakara’ is the sixth in the series of celebratory Fela 50th Anniversary reissues. The album is the sound of afrobeat’s maturation as a global music. Fela’s Pidgin English lyrics extend his music’s audience beyond Yoruba speakers and make his words understandable across the Anglophone world.
