Fela Kuti Ikoyi Blindness (Vinyl) 12" Album Coloured Vinyl

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Ikoyi BlindnessCondition: NewDescription: Fela used the cover of 'Ikoyi Blindness' to announce his change of middle name from Ransome, which he now considered a slave name, to Anikulapo, which means 'he who carries death in his pouch'. The front cover shows Ransome crossed out and Anikulapo added above it. Fela also used the album cover to announce the Africanisation of Africa 70's name, changing it to Afrika 70. In the title track, Fela draws attention to the economic chasm separating the haves and have-nots of Nigerian society, contrasting the get-rich-at-all-costs mindset of the residents of the prosperous Lagos suburb Ikoyi with the more community-minded attitude of the poor inhabitants of the Mushin, Maroko, Ajegunle and Somolu neighbourhoods. Ikoyi residents are blind to the sufferings of less fortunate people, says Fela.Color: Opaque white vinyl.Run Time: 29.21Record Label: Knitting FactoryArtist: Fela KutiFormat: VinylEdition: 12" Album Coloured VinylNo Of Discs: 1Release Date: 02/23/2024Genre: World MusicStyle: NigerianEAN: 0720841207733MPN: KFR2017-3Release Year: 2024Tracks: 1: Ikoyi Blindness2: Gba Mi Leti N'dolowo Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
