Description

In response to popular demand Knitting Factory Records reissue seven of Nigerian icon and Afrobeat originator Fela Kuti's most important albums. This will be the first time they are released individually since their original vinyl release in Nigeria in the 70s and 80s. The LPs feature the original releases' iconic artwork and include digital download card and liner notes. 'Shakara' is a two-track release of 13-minute songs that showcase Fela's satirical side. 'Lady', perhaps one of Fela's most popular tracks, criticizes Westernized African women who he felt had been corrupted by their embrace of the new feminist movement of the time. 'Shakara' is a mainly instrumental track with a brief lyric sung in Yoruba, warning against boasters and braggarts. Uptempo, with a suitably turbulent horn arrangement, it includes strong solos from Fela on keyboards and the fearsome Igo Chico on tenor saxophone.
