          Zombie was the most popular and impacting record that Fela   │
          Anikulopo Kuti and Africa 70 would record.                   │
          It ignited the nation to follow Fela's lead and antagonize   │
          the military zombies that had the population by the throat.  │
          Fela is direct and humorous in his attack as he barks out    │
          commands to the soldiers like: "Attention! Double up! Fall   │
          In! Fall out! Fall down! Get ready!" Meanwhile, his choir    │
          responds with "Zombie!" in between each statement. Since the │
          groove was so absolutely contagious, it took the nation by   │
          storm: People in the street would put on a blank stare and   │
          walk with hands affront proclaiming "Zombie!" whenever they  │
          would see soldiers. If "Zombie" caught the attention of the  │
          populous it also cought the attention of the authority       │
          figures.                                                     │
          This would cause devastating personal and professional       │
          effects as the Nigerian government came down on him with     │
          absolute brute force not long after the release of this      │
          record.                                                      │
