Tracks list

       By the time of 1976's Kalakuta Show, Fela Kuti's releases seemed not so
much like records as ongoing installments in one long jam, documenting the state
of mind of Nigeria's leading contemporary musician and ideological/political
dissenter. Thus, any one album works better on its own than it does when it has
to bear comparison with the rest of his mountainous output. The track "Kalakuta
Show" was unexceptional by his own standards, though it was a respectable
lock-groove song that followed the usual graph of Kuti's song progressions. The
lyrics, at any rate, go far outside the usual funk/pop spectrum, detailing his
harassment at the hands of the Nigerian police. "Don't Make Garan Garan" was
musically more effective, particularly in its use of the artist's
characteristically eerie, out-of-sync-sounding electric keyboards.
