Bleep

Knitting Factory Records serve up a sweltering reissue of Fela Kuti and Africa 70’s epic afrobeat opus, Roforofo Fight. Recorded in Lagos a year prior to its release, the spiralling jams on this record all veer on the lengthier side of 10-minutes and they all show off the three most central facets of Kuti’s creative power; composition, performance and band-leading. With drumming contributions from the legendary Tony Allen, the sounds of Roforofo Fight journey from conventional afrobeat tropes right through to corkscrew 70s arrhythmia. A genuine jewel of the prolific Kuti catalogue.
