Our Take

If there's one thing Fela Kuti was known for, it was his infectious blend of Afrobeat rhythms and unapologetic political messages. And his album "Shakara" is a prime example of this unique fusion.

The 50th Anniversary Edition of "Shakara" brings a fresh new perspective to this iconic album. From the first notes of the title track, you can feel the energy and passion that Fela poured into his music. The groovy bass lines and funky horns will have you bopping along in no time.

But what really sets this album apart is Fela's fearless approach to addressing social issues. Tracks like "Lady" and "Gentleman" tackle themes of gender equality and colonialism with raw honesty and a touch of humour. It's a reminder of Fela's boldness and commitment to speaking truth to power.

The remastered sound quality on this edition is top-notch, allowing every instrument to shine through with crystal clarity. You can hear the intricate layers of percussion, the soaring saxophones, and Fela's distinctive vocals like never before.

Overall, "Shakara" is a must-have for any music lover, whether you're a die-hard Fela fan or just discovering his music for the first time. It's a timeless classic that still resonates today, 50 years on. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to groove to the irresistible sounds of Fela Kuti.
