Description
Knitting Factory Records reissue Fela Kutis Underground System on vinyl, previously only available as part of the Box Set series.
The last album of newly recorded material to be released during Felas lifetime, 1992s Underground System is an outstanding swansong. While Felas recorded output slowed up as the 1980s progressed largely as a result of ongoing arrests, beatings and jailings his final years of recording produced some of his strongest work, notably Teacher Dont Teach Me Nonsense (1986), Beasts Of No Nation (1989), Overtake Don Overtake Overtake (1990) and Underground System.
The reissues arrive at an exciting time for the Fela Kuti legacy, with a new website launching. This has been almost a year in the making and holds a huge amount of potential. Alongside new merchandise, editorial and brand collaborations (such as with Carhartt from earlier this year), will function as the primary resource for Felas life and affiliate projects online.
LP includes digital download card.
Fela Kuti is a f*cking genius. Please listen to these tracks, preferably with a nice blunt with a nice slow burn. Erykah Badu
