Product Description
CD Description
With the inclusion of Nigerian master musician Fela Anikulapo Kuti's incendiary 1977 single, "Zombie", "Mr. Follow Follow", a typical anti-authoritarian exhortation, and a couple of hitherto-unreleased live cuts from the 1978 Berlin Jazz festival, ZOMBIE finds the iconoclastic singer and bandleaderat his electrifying best. The title track, an anti-militaristic lampoon of the Nigerian armed forces, earned Fela the ire of that army--revenge came when soldiers wrecked Fela's compound, throwing his mother from a window and killing her. A breakneck rhythm, skittering horn lines, and Fela's own taunting vocals add up to one of the musician's most confrontational tracks. Conflict is likewise in the air on "Mistake",performed in front of a less-than-ecstatic crowd of Berlin jazz aficionados, conveying the palpable anger of a musicianwho craved controversy and relished provocation.
