Fela Ransome-Kuti & The Africa 70 – Zombie

The title track mocks soldiers as mindless zombies who follow orders, and the music acts out the joke: stiff, marching horn fanfares over Tony Allen's loose, rolling drums, with the band shouting back at Fela's commands. Both sides of the album run past twelve minutes, and Mister Follow Follow shows the slower, more patient build. The Nigerian army's violent raid on Fela's compound followed the album's success.
