30.00€
Fela Ransome Kuti & Africa 70 released the album Expensive Shit in 1975.
The record is notable for blending Afrobeat with funk, jazz, and other African rhythms. The title track refers to a 1974 incident where Nigerian police attempted to frame Fela Kuti with drugs. To avoid the setup, Fela ingested the substance, leading to a forced wait for its elimination. This episode inspired the song "Expensive Shit," combining sharp humor with social critique.
