Fela Kuti - Afrodisiac - LP

Afrobeat LP — Recorded at Abbey Road, 1972

Afrodisiac collects tracks that Fela and his band re-recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1972 after they had become hits in Nigeria. The best-known song is "Jeun Ko Ku," a satire of gluttony that gave Fela his first major hit, while the enduring closer "Je'nwi Temi" (Don't Gag Me) is a critique of the Nigerian political and military establishment and a defense of free speech.
