Fela Anikulapo Kuti & Egypt 80 – Beasts of No Nation

Fela's 1989 album, made after his release from prison in 1986, with the larger Egypt 80 band. The title track runs close to half an hour and moves slowly and heavily, with a darker mood than the 1970s records. Its lyric attacks world leaders who preach human rights while abusing power. Choose it once you know the classic period, to hear how far Fela stretched the form late in his career.
