Fela Kuti & The Africa 70 – Roforofo Fight
Album
From 1972, this is the Africa 70 at its most expansive, with four very long tracks. The title track is the place to hear how the band holds a groove for a quarter of an hour without it going flat: guitar ostinatos and shekere stay fixed while horns, organ and Fela's saxophone take turns changing the colour on top. Go Slow, about Lagos traffic, is the other highlight.
