Fela Kuti & Africa 70 - Expensive Shit (LP)
Expensive Shit finds Fela Kuti and his legendary Africa 70 band at their most defiant and inspired, blending hypnotic Afrobeat rhythms with biting social commentary. Originally released in 1975, this album captures a pivotal moment in Fela's career, responding to political turmoil and personal harassment with groove-laden tracks that radiate both urgency and wit.
The music is a vibrant tapestry of jazz, soul, funk, and African folk influences, driven by intricate percussion, swinging horns, and Fela's unmistakable presence. Its enduring relevance and bold sound make Expensive Shit an essential listen for fans of innovative world music and those drawn to artists who channel resistance through art.
