Product Details

Fela Kuti built Afrobeat from the ground up, fusing Yoruba tradition, jazz, funk, and unflinching political fury into something the world had never heard before. This two-disc collection pulls from across his remarkable run on Knitting Factory Records, making it one of the more accessible entry points into a catalog that rewarded deep listening and demanded it equally. For anyone who came to Fela through the Broadway musical or the Tony Allen connection, this is where the real education begins.
