Fela Kuti - Roforofo Fight - LP

Orange & Green Colored Vinyl — Fela 50th Anniversary Reissue with Gold Foil Obi-Strip

The fourth title in the celebratory Fela 50th Anniversary reissue series, Roforofo Fight arrives on color vinyl wrapped in a gold foil obi-strip featuring an essay on the album and Fela's global impact. As on his other early-'70s releases, Fela uses each side to build a deep, hypnotic groove paired with metaphoric lyrics that critique the lingering corruption of colonialism. The title track depicts a street fight in Lagos as an illustration of intolerant, violent behavior, while the 17-minute "Go Slow" turns the city's traffic jams into a metaphor for the harmful impact of urbanization.
