Fela Kuti Vinyl Records

Fela Kuti (1938-1997) was a Nigerian musician, composer, and political activist. He is widely considered to be the most influential figure in African music, and his unique style of Afrobeat combined traditional Yoruba music, jazz, highlife, funk, and traditional African chants and percussion.

Fela's most popular albums include the classic albums "Expensive Shit" (1975), "Zombie" (1976), and "Unknown Soldier" (1977). His most popular songs include "Shakara", "Zombie", "No Agreement", "Army Arrangement", "V.I.P.", and "I.T.T. (International Thief Thief)".

An interesting fact about Fela Kuti is that he had a strong political agenda and was a vocal critic of the military dictatorship in Nigeria. He was arrested and detained numerous times for his outspokenness, and his compound in Lagos became known as the 'Kalakuta Republic', a place where he and his bandmates could live free of government interference.
