Fela Kuti - London Scene [New Vinyl LP] 180 Gram

Description: Fela Kuti - London Scene [New Vinyl LP] 180 Gram Artist: Fela Kuti Title: London Scene Format: Vinyl LP Genre: International UPC: 720841206415 Release Date: 2016 Record Label: Knitting Factory 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Fela's London Scene, released in 1972, is a top-notch affair, made with a smaller band but one that punches above it's weight. There is no tenor guitarist and no call-and-response choir, though sing-along vocals are a feature of "Egbe Mi O" ("please carry me"). Throughout, Fela's electric piano is gym ripped and razor sharp, and Igo Chico turns in three stirring tenor solos. "Buy Africa," written in 1970, was one of Fela's first politically-informed songs. The lyric was written in support of a government campaign to encourage local industry. "J'Ehin J'Ehin" ("eat teeth eat teeth") is along similar lyric lines as "Shakara." This time Fela is lampooning people who are so greedy that they eat their own teeth. In "Who're You," Fela channels James Brown's vocal style over an angular funk groove. "Fight To Finish" draws on Yoruba folklore to offer advice: once you have started something, be prepared to finish it.Copyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
