Shakara

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Featuring two sprawling, fiercely energetic side-long tracks, Fela Kuti's 'Shakara' is a monumental, defining masterclass in classic afrobeat. The album is incredibly rhythmic and wonderfully warm, locking into deeply hypnotic, fiercely repetitive jazz-funk percussion to support intensely passionate, highly sarcastic, and wonderfully playful political critique.
