Fela Kuti - Confusion - LP

Afrobeat LP

This epic Afrobeat album consists of a single composition, split across two sides, that opens with a mysterious, psychedelic interplay between Fela on organ and Tony Allen on drums. As the song takes on a righteously funky groove, Fela evokes the chaos of Lagos — its many dialects, gnarled traffic jams and absent authority — as a metaphor for the larger problems of post-colonial Nigeria.
