Album Notes & Community Reviews

Anchored by Tony Allen's revolutionary drumming, 'Everything Scatter' is a definitive afrobeat manifesto detailing the chaotic socio-political climate of mid-70s Nigeria. Fela Kuti utilizes sprawling, deeply rhythmic brass and funk-infused arrangements to deliver potent critiques directed at institutional corruption and police brutality.
