Why Black Man Dey Suffer Fela Kuti SKU: KFR2012-3 Barcode: 720841207238 19.00 £19.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory Released Date: 26th January 2024 Buying Format: 1LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Pressed on translucent yellow vinyl. Also featuring Ginger Baker, the title track is among Fela’s first overtly political lyrics. His political perspective had evolved during the 1969 / 1970 tour of the US, largely through his friendship with the black-rights activist Sandra Izsadore, who introduced him to the writings of Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Angela Davis and other revolutionary thinkers. By the time Fela wrote “Why Black Man Dey Suffer,” his songwriting and public statements were becoming increasingly critical of the power structure in Nigeria and throughout post-colonial Africa. The album was actually recorded for EMI, but wary of the title, the label refused to release it. First re-issued as part of Fela Kuti Box Set #5 curated by Chris Martin & Femi Kuti in 2021.
