Shakara (50th Anniversary Edition) (gatefold pink vinyl LP + yellow vinyl 7" with obi-strip)
Cat: KFR 20278. Rel: 12 Jan 23
Review: Originally released in 1972, Shakara is a shining example of Fela Kuti & The Africa 70 in full flight.

Tony Allen holds it down on the drums and the brass section from Tony Njoku, Igo Chico, Lekan Animashaun and Kuti himself punches out with urgency. This 50th anniversary release does things a little differently by inviting the excellent Ezra Collective to deliver their own versions of each track, each getting their side to lay down expansive reflections on the trailblazing groundwork laid by Kuti and his bandmates half a century ago.
