Of Fela Kuti's discography, the early 1970s was when Fela's Afrobeat went through it's most dramatic changes musically and politically. Eno's selection presents four from this period. Shakara, Fela's London Scene, Afrodisiac and Gentleman. Also included is late 1976's Zombie, a vicious skewering of the Nigerian military and Fela's biggest hit record to date, and finally 1980's classic ITT. It was on these albums, Fela began to compile Afrobeat's signature rhythmic patterns and interlocking twin guitars. Says Eno himself "The sheer force and drive of this wild Nigerian stuff blew my mind"
