One of Fela's top - selling and most famous albums. The epic 'Zombie' is a powerful, politically - charged Afrobeat hit. Africa 70 creates a high - energy groove while Fela harshly criticizes the Nigerian army that ran the oppressive government at that time. He likens soldiers to mindless zombies, and the catchy 'zombie, yo zombie!' chorus is both musically engaging and dance - floor ready. The song's popularity in Nigeria led to a government raid on Fela's Kalakuta compound, tragically injuring his mother. This LP is a must - have for music fans and a great start for those new to Fela's work. It also features 'Follow Follow (Mister Follow Follow)' and amazing cover art by Lemi. It comes as a black vinyl pressing with a printed insert, and is released by Knitting Factory Records in 2016.
Using this vinyl LP is super easy. Just place it on your turntable and let the music flow. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. To keep it in great shape, always store it vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Don't stack heavy items on top of it. After each use, gently wipe the vinyl with a soft, anti - static brush to remove any dust. And remember, it's a precious piece of music history, so handle it with care!
