Ikoyi Blindness Fela returns to the previous album’s focus on Mushin, this time specifically contrasting the neighbourhood to its richer counterpart, Ikoyi. Ghariokwu Lemi’s front-cover portrait of a blindfolded Ikoyi man (blind to social injustice) is complemented by a rear-cover strip cartoon showing a young Mushin resident standing up to a uniformed abuser and demanding lawful treatment. The narrative is continued on “Gba Mi Leti Ki N’Dolowo (Slap Me Make I Get Money).†In Lagos, there had been a recent upsurge in the police and army assaulting people in the street and then shaking them down for money – and they were getting away with it. Fela demands that the courts uphold the law equally for rich and poor, for uniformed servants of the state and ordinary citizens. Originally released by Africa Music. 1.01 - Fela Kuti - Ikoyi Blindness (Edit) (7:22) 1.02 - Fela Kuti - Ikoyi Blindness (15:07)
