Yumi Matsutoya - 50th Anniversary Album 'Yuming Banzai!' - Limited Edition - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

180 gram vinyl LP pressing. Fela's London Scene, released in 1972, is a top-notch affair, made with a smaller band but one that punches above it's weight. There is no tenor guitarist and no call-and-response choir, though sing-along vocals are a feature of InchEgbe Mi OInch (Inchplease carry meInch). Throughout, Fela's electric piano is gym ripped and razor sharp, and Igo Chico turns in three stirring tenor solos. InchBuy Africa,Inch written in 1970, was one of Fela's first politically-informed songs. The lyric was written in support of a government campaign to encourage local industry. InchJ'Ehin J'EhinInch (Incheat teeth eat teethInch) is along similar lyric lines as InchShakara.Inch This time Fela is lampooning people who are so greedy that they eat their own teeth. In InchWho're You,Inch Fela channels James Brown's vocal style over an angular funk groove. InchFight To FinishInch draws on Yoruba folklore to offer advice once you have started something, be prepared to finish it.
