Fela Ransome-Kuti & The Africa 70 – Zombie
Album
The title track and Mister Follow Follow clock in at over twelve minutes each, exemplifying classic Afrobeat's architectural pacing. Tony Allen's crisp snare rolls establish an unhurried, hypnotic cadence before the horn section unleashes its scathing, satirical military fanfares. The groove gradually builds pressure over eight minutes before Fela enters with his biting pidgin lyrics, daring listeners to dance while interrogating state violence.
