Fela Kuti, Egypt 80 - Beasts Of No Nation Vinyl LP

Fela Kuti’s Beasts of No Nation stands as a raw and uncompromising statement of political and musical defiance. Recorded in the wake of repeated raids on his Kalakuta Republic, the album channels outrage, resilience, and the urgent rhythms of Afrobeat into a scathing critique of military and governmental oppression in Nigeria. With driving percussion, searing horns, and Fela’s commanding vocals, the record transforms personal trauma into collective resistance, blending propulsive grooves with incisive commentary on post-colonial corruption and state violence. Beasts of No Nation is more than a landmark in Afrobeat—it is a testament to Fela’s genius for turning music into both a weapon and a rallying cry for justice.
