Fear Not For Man Fela Kuti & Africa 70 SKU: KFR2028-1 Barcode: 0720841204114 15.00 £15.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory Released Date: 8th April 2016 Buying Format: 1LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Strictly limited (75 of each title) indies only coloured editions of six reissues 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. Although the original liner notes report that Stalemate was “recorded during the Kalakuta crisis,” the album is surprisingly non-confrontational. Modern day notes explain that the singer was distracted by a number of outside issues, such as his sudden homelessness and legal battles with Decca West Africa, but the album’s decidedly lighthearted tone is perhaps an attempt to demonstrate to his oppressors that Fela Kuti had escaped the Kalakuta conflict with his health and determination intact. “Stalemate” is a slice-of-life song depicting everyday situations where two groups of people are at odds with each other; “Don’t Worry About My Mouth O (African Message)” finds Kuti as a schoolmaster teaching his students to reject Western toothbrushes and toilet paper in favor of traditional African chewing sticks and water. Fear Not for Man is less about message and more about grooves, with the title track preaching briefly about the importance of being courageous before embarking on an extended instrumental jam. One of the more peculiar tracks in Kuti’s catalog, “Palm Wine Sound” is a Caribbean-styled instrumental that finishes the album in the highlife spirit of carefree fun and dancing.
