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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
