Fela Kuti Noise For Vendor Mouth - Red Vinyl - Sealed UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
The title track likens politicians to street hawkers and hustlers, and caused considerable controversy. So did the B-side, “Mattress,” though for different reasons. In the song, Fela likens a woman’s role to that of a mattress, there to support and comfort her man. Fela’s espousal of traditional gender roles, and his approval of polygamy, struck a discordant note with some listeners, who accused him of being “anti women.” Fela was Fela and a man of his time, but he was never hostile to women. As he often acknowledged, his two greatest political influences were women: his mother, who had been an early champion of women’s rights in Nigeria, and Sandra Izsadore, the black-rights activist he began a relationship with in the US in 1969. Each opened his mind, between them turning a playboy into a political revolutionary. First re-issued as part of Fela Kuti Box Set #5 curated by Chris Martin and Femi Kuti in 2021.

released in 1975, this album began Fela Kuti's greatest and
most prolific era. Hehad created and refined the perfect sonic
blend that we now know as Afrobeat - lyrics that took on the
social and political struggles of everyday people, drum

punctuating horns, tenor and rhythm guitars, and call and
response vocals. Picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory
