The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell. Musso by Ausecuma Beats.

He would later change the band's name to Afrika 70, and again to Egypt Beginning in the s, Kuti pioneered and popularized his own unique style of music called "Afrobeat. In addition to their distinctive mixed-genre style, Kuti's songs were considered unique in comparison to more commercially popular songs due to their length—ranging anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour long.
Kuti sang in a combination of Pidgin English and Yoruba. In the s and '80s, Kuti's rebellious song lyrics established him as political dissident.
As a result, Afrobeat has come to be associated with making political, social and cultural statements about greed and corruption. One of Kuti's songs, "Zombie," questions Nigerian soldiers' blind obedience to carrying out orders. Another, "V. Vagabonds in Power ," seeks to empower the disenfranchised masses to rise up against the government. The album cover portrays world leaders Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan among others as cartoon vampires baring bloody fangs.
Rebelling against oppressive regimes through his music came at a heavy cost to Kuti, who was arrested by the Nigerian government times, and was subject to numerous beatings that left him with lifelong scars.
Rather than abandon his cause, however, Kuti used these experiences as inspiration to write more lyrics.
