   |   Originaly issued in 1975, Open & Close has just three songs, all     |
   |   in the ten- to 15-minute range, mixing some of the improvisational   |
   |   verve of jazz into Kuti's Afro-funk stew.                            |
   |   There's a bittersweet, faintly melancholy tone to some of the        |
   |   progressions that differentiates this from much African pop of       |
   |   then and later, and the half-dozen percussionists set a good bed     |
   |   on which the horns and electric keyboards swap lines.                |
   |   "Gbagada Gbagada Gbogodo Gbogodo" is highlighted by extensive        |
   |   call-and-response vocals between Kuti and the band.                  |
   |                                                                        |
