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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Africa's finest, 25 Aug 2005
By A Customer
The main problem with Fela Kuti is that he is not appreciated enough by the general public. He was an extremely interesting and great individual as well as a brilliant musician. This album is as good a place to start as any when it comes to an introduction. The influence of his Africa is everywhere from his anti-governmet lyrics to the driving rhythm. It is funky as well and sits well alongside any collection of James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone. I find it hugely sad that this record is not as widely known as it should be because of the huge politcal significance of Fela Kuti in Nigeria and as an African hero.
