If you aren’t familiar with Fela Kuti, he is an iconic musician from Nigeria. He is a pioneer of Afrobeat, which is now seeing global success in its modern variations through various African artists today. If you must know, I love most of Fela Kuti’s musical arrangements, but ‘Zombie’, ‘Water Get No Enemy’, and ‘Expensive Sh*t’ are my all-time favourite tracks.
