Product Details
Fela Kuti didn't just make music; he built a movement. From the Lagos Shrine to international stages, his Afrika 70 and Egypt 80 ensembles turned afrobeat into a weapon of political resistance, and his influence runs deep through generations of musicians across jazz, funk, hip-hop, and beyond. With 122 tracks spanning decades of one of the most singular careers in 20th-century music, this set is a document of an artist who paid a genuine price for what he believed.
The Complete Works CD Box Set contains 51 albums on 29 CDs spanning Fela's entire career. This new Deluxe Edition includes bonus rarities plus two previously unreleased tracks. The box set also contains DVD documentary 'A Slice Of Fela,' which features live performances from Berlin Jazz festival and Glastonbury, as well as a 52-page booklet with Fela's biography and album commentaries by Chris May.
