Ikoyi Blindness ; Kalakuta Show (1976)

Twee LP's uit 1976 op één CD; beide met twee nummers van ongeveer een kwartier. "The rhythms on "Ikoyi Blindness" were a little tighter and more highlife-influenced than they had been on albums from earlier in the decade. The title track was pretty typical of Fela efforts from the period, both in its structure that built up to a call-and-response vocal and in its taut two-chord melodic base. "Gba Mi Leti Ki N'Dolowo (Slap Me Make I Get Money)" is a little more interesting due to its choppier rhythms, more vibrant percussion, stuttering low guitar riff, and extended haunting electric keyboard lines. By the time of 1976's "Kalakuta Show", Fela's releases were starting to seem not so much like records as ongoing installments in one long jam documenting the state of mind of Nigeria's leading contemporary musician and ideological/political dissenter. The lyrics go far outside the usual funk/pop spectrum, detailing his harassment at the hands of the Nigerian police." (Richie Unterberger, Allmusic; 4 uit 5 sterren)
