Fela Kuti's Literal Zombie Attack
When Fela Kuti released his 1977 politically confrontational album Zombie, he pissed off his native Nigerian government so much that 1,000 soldiers showed up at his door. They burned his studio, all of his instruments, his master tapes, and they killed his mother by throwing her out of a window. But they couldn't shut him up.
Kuti continued to write and record politically provocative music for 20 more years, until the day he died. He was such a badass...
Fela's music infects listeners with revolutionary rhythm. He has recorded some of the most desperate and sincere albums I have ever heard. Amazon has almost all of them, and so should you!
