Coffin for Head of State Fela Kuti SKU: KFR2036-1 Barcode: 0720841204916 17.00 £17.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory Released Date: 13th December 2019 Buying Format: 1LP Includes Download Code Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Knitting Factory Records reissue Fela Kuti’s ‘Coffin For Head Of State’ on vinyl, previously only available as part of the Box Set series. The album is among Fela’s most courageous responses to the Nigerian army’s destruction of Kalakuta on 18 February 1977. During the attack, Fela’s mother, aged 78, a veteran of Nigeria’s struggle for independence from British colonial rule and an early campaigner for Nigerian women’s rights, was thrown out of an upstairs window, fracturing a leg. Fela believed that the assault led to his mother’s death 14 months later. The reissues arrive at an exciting time for the Fela Kuti legacy, with a new website – felakuti.com – launching. This has been almost a year in the making and holds a huge amount of potential. Alongside new merchandise, editorial and brand collaborations (such as with Carhartt from earlier this year), felakuti.com will function as the primary resource for Fela’s life and affiliate projects online. LP includes digital download card. “Fela Kuti is a f*cking genius. Please listen to these tracks, preferably with a nice blunt… with a nice slow burn.” – Erykah Badu Artist Fela Kuti Genre World / Fusion Label Knitting Factory Buying Options 1LP Includes Download Code Format 1LP , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Track Listings Coffin For Head of State (Part 1) Coffin For Head of State (Part 2) Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Fela Kuti View Product Quick View Fela Kuti Alagbon Close – 50th Anniversary World / Fusion | Knitting Factory | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 11th October 2024 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fela Kuti Alagbon Close – 50th Anniversary £22.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory SKU: KFR2011-8 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 11th October 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fela Kuti Original Sufferhead World / Fusion | Knitting Factory | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 23rd February 2024 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fela Kuti Original Sufferhead £19.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory SKU: KFR2039-3 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 23rd February 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fela Kuti O.D.O.O.
