FELA KUTI - EXPENSIVE SHIT

'Expensive Shit' is the twelfth full-length album by Afrobeat pioneer Fela Ransome Kuti and his Africa 70 band. Long, long groove laden tracks (nothing here clocks in under 10 minutes). Effortless, serious funk with fantastic oomphy brass sections. Languid, confident, aggressive, jazzy solos. Powerful singing and proclaiming in both English and Nigerian and there's always a vocal chorus to participate in some thrilling call and response.
