fela kuti & africa 70 - na poi

Na Poi is Fela Kuti at his most provocative—both musically and thematically. Combining funk, jazz, and traditional Nigerian rhythms, this Afrobeat gem is a rhythmic explosion. The title track, banned in Nigeria for its explicit content, doubles as a political and sexual manifesto, delivered through spoken word, polyrhythms, and fierce horn arrangements.

It showcases Fela’s revolutionary spirit and willingness to challenge norms, both societal and musical. This album captures the energy of Africa 70 at their peak, tight yet unrelenting. Na Poi isn't just a song—it’s a performance piece, a protest, and a dance-floor call to freedom.
