This album was Fela's full-on sonic revenge on the military regime that attacked and brutalized him and his compound in Lagos twice in 1974. The raids on his Kalakuta Republic were an attempt by the Nigerian police and army to silence Fela. Brought to trial on trumped up charges with no substantive evidence, the court dismissed the case, set him free, and made him an even larger hero to the people of Nigeria. The album narrative delves deeply in the post-colonial corruption of Nigerian institutions and the grueling and brutal manner the police and the military treated all unfortunate enough to be caught up in their grip. This edition is pressed on Gulf of Guinea Blue (opaque blue) vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_START --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e1. Kalakuta Show (14:30)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e2. Don't Make Ganran Ganran (18:04)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- TRACKLIST_END --\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 720841208037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Partisan Records\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.26.24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e LP Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- discogs-import --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"discogs-import\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetails\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pathé (2C 062 - 82.134)  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1976  ·  \u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Kalakuta Show\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eB Don't Make Ganran Ganran\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCredits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Arranged By, Composed By, Producer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLekan Animashaun – Baritone Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFranco Aboddy – Bass Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFelicia Idonije – Chorus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegina Osuhor – Chorus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShade Shehindemi – Chorus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuru Eriomla – Chorus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTejumade Adebiyi – Chorus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBernadette Oghomienor – Chorus (Lead)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHenry Koffi – Congas (1st)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNicholas Addo – Congas (2nd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShina Abiodun – Congas (3rd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTony Allen – Drums (Lead)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemola Odebiyi – Engineer (Recording \u0026amp; Mixing)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOghene Kologbo – Guitar (Tenor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIsaac Olaleye – Maracas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJames Abayomi – Percussion (Sticks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeke Benson – Rhythm Guitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChristopher Uwaifor – Tenor Saxophone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFela Kuti – Tenor Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Piano, Vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTunde Williams – Trumpet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUkem Stephen – Trumpet (2nd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTunde Williams – Trumpet (Solo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"relix.shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54547585302846,"sku":"11350","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4609\/5166\/files\/12633225986366-transparent-v2.png?v=1791436074","url":"https:\/\/reserveselects.myshopify.com\/products\/fela-kuti-kalakuta-show-lp-vinyl","provider":"Reserve Selects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
