Fela Kuti - Fela's London Scene - LP

Afrobeat LP — Recorded at Abbey Road, 1971

Fela's London Scene, released in 1971 and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, is a top-notch affair made with a smaller band that punches well above its weight. Fela's electric piano is sharp and propulsive, Igo Chico turns in stirring tenor solos, and Cream's Ginger Baker guests on drums. "Buy Africa" calls on listeners to support local industry, while "Fight to Finish" draws on Yoruba folklore: once you have started something, be prepared to finish it.
