The record
Title: Fela Kuti - Zombie
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1976, Afrobeat, Political Afrobeat, Lagos, Nigeria 7/26
Condition: new (TC) | Members: Fela K (38' - 97')
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle: After Zombie mocked the Nigerian military, soldiers raided Fela's Kalakuta Republic compound, beat him badly, destroyed the property, and fatally injured his mother.
-
Political Science: The title track compares soldiers to mindless zombies obeying orders without thought, turning a relentless groove into one of music's fiercest anti-authoritarian statements.
-
Scene Ecology: Zombie captures Fela's classic Africa 70 era, where Tony Allen's drumming, horns, chants, and marathon grooves turned Lagos nightlife into political resistance.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
