Box Set #3 Curated By Brian Eno

Box Set #3 Curated By Brian Eno

Of Fela Kuti s discography, the early 1970s was when Fela s Afrobeat went through its most dramatic changes musically and politically. Eno s selection presents four from this period Shakara, Fela s London Scene, Afrodisiac and Gentleman. Also included is late 1976 s Zombie, a vicious skewering of the Nigerian military and Fela s biggest hit record to date, and finally 1980's classic ITT. It was on these albums, Fela began to compile Afrobeat s signature rhythmic patterns and interlocking twin guitars. Says Eno himself "The sheer force and drive of this wild Nigerian stuff blew my mind"
