I think maybe it's the last album im posting in this blog, that was number one in the charts, won a grammy award,sold millions of records blah,blah, blah...BUT...even we have a pop record here,the music is really something....following a deconstructive and minimalistic musical approach, these guys focus on the vocals....and the result, you judge. Accompanied by: a feeling of happiness that you cannot understand why is happening, and some booze Suck it!
I had a tough time trying to pick up one of the 15000 records of this guy from Nigeria...I have chosen this one, because of the metafora that is hiding in the records name...a word that was used for the Nigerian army due to the atrocities committed in the 70's and 80's...So, Fela sometime in the 70's made a commune (named Kalakuta republic) and declare it as independent state...The sensitive politicians did not like the idea, so they sent one thousand soldiers that burned the place down and beat the asses of everyone that stayed in the commune....it is worth to be mentioned that they threw Fela's mother from the balcony,and after that the commander shitted in the lady's face! Accompanied by: continuous dance, polygamy and joints as big as my height....ahhh and rum, lots of rum! Suck it!
