Our Take

Fela Kuti’s Afrodisiac is a tantalizing journey through the Afrobeat legend’s funky, infectious rhythms. This album is an auditory feast, with Kuti’s signature blend of African rhythms, jazz, and funk creating a unique sound that is both energizing and thought-provoking.

From the opening track “Alu Jon Jonki Jon”, listeners are immediately transported to Kuti’s world of pulsating bass lines and hypnotic percussion. The horn section adds an extra layer of depth and complexity to the music, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is impossible to resist.

Kuti’s lyrics are as powerful as ever, addressing political and social issues with his trademark wit and wisdom. Tracks like “Je’nwi Temi (Don’t Gag Me)” and “2000 Blacks Got to Be Free” showcase Kuti’s unapologetic stance on issues of oppression and injustice, while still managing to make you want to get up and dance.

The production on Afrodisiac is top-notch, with every instrument and vocal line perfectly balanced to create a seamless listening experience. Kuti’s backing band, Africa 70, is in top form, effortlessly keeping up with the bandleader’s frenetic energy and musical vision.

Overall, Afrodisiac is a must-listen for any fan of Afrobeat or world music in general. Fela Kuti’s legacy continues to inspire and excite, and this album is a perfect example of why he is considered one of the greatest musical innovators of the 20th century. Grab your dancing shoes and get ready to groove to the infectious sounds of Afrodisiac.
