Re-issue of two Fela's albums from 1976 │

Fela Anikulapo Kuti & Africa 70 - Ikoyi Blindness │
│
Ikoyi Blindness was a middle-of-the-pack release in a sea of │
mid-1970s Kuti records that featured two songs and about a │
half-hour's worth of music. The rhythms were a little │
tighter and more highlife-influenced than they had been on │
albums from earlier in the decade. "Ikoyi Blindness" itself │
was pretty typical of efforts from the period, both in a │
structure that built up to call-and-response vocal, and in a │
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. Both songs are on the 2001 MCA CD reissue Ikoyi │
Blindness/Kalakuta Show, which also includes both songs from │
the 1976 release Kalakuta Show. │

Fela Ransome Kuti & Africa 70 - Kalakuta Show │
│
By the time of 1976's Kalakuta Show, Fela Kuti's releases │
were becoming 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. Thus, any one album works │
better on its own than it does when it has to bear │
comparison with the rest of his mountainous output. The │
track "Kalakuta Show" was unexceptional by his own │
standards, though it was a respectable lock-groove song that │
followed the usual graph of Kuti's song progressions. The │
lyrics, at any rate, go far outside the usual funk/pop │
spectrum, detailing his harassment at the hands of the │
Nigerian police. "Don't Make Garan Garan" was musically more │
effective, particularly in its use of the artist's │
characteristically eerie, out-of-sync-sounding electric │
keyboards. Both songs are on the 2001 MCA CD reissue Ikoyi │
Blindness/Kalakuta Show, which also includes both songs from │
the 1976 release Ikoyi Blindness. │
