In response to popular demand Knitting Factory Records reissue seven of Nigerian icon and Afrobeat originator Fela Kuti's most important albums. This will be the first time they are released individually since their original vinyl release in Nigeria in the 70s and 80s. The LPs feature the original releases' iconic artwork and include digital download card and liner notes. The title track, 'Gentleman', has often been hailed as Fela's masterpiece. The politically scathing song opposes Westernization and those who imitate Western ways. Fela had many Ghanaian friends (and Ghanaian wives and Ghanaian girlfriends) and 'Fefe Naa Efe' is sung as a tribute to Ghana. 'Igbe' again shows Fela breaking cultural taboos by singing literally and figuratively about 'sh*t'. He sings the word in a several Nigerian languages so there is no misunderstanding.
