Auf AMG findet sich zur Fela Originals CD aber auch dieser Beitrag:
“
A condemnation of African skin-bleaching, „Yellow Fever“ likens the practice to real diseases sweeping through the continent, employing a dark, percolating groove as a backdrop. „Na Poi,“ originally recorded in 1972 and banned by the Nigerian Broadcasting Company, is featured here in a re-recorded version known as „Na Poi 75.“ An open expression of the sexual practices within his then-flourishing Kalakuta Republic compound, it is an intensely funky major-key jam driven by its clamorous horns and staccato bassline. Na Poi features the original 25-minute „Na Poi,“ a considerably starker arrangement with extended drum breaks, solos, and chanting. „You No Go Die…Unless“ is a kind of comfort jam to the thousands of rural villagers who moved to Lagos in search of wealth generated by the mid-’60s oil boom, punctuated by a quirky, clipped beat and Yoruba lyrics. Not one of Kuti’s best releases, but, as with all his material, it’s worth hearing.
Machen wir aus 1972 noch 1971, dann stimmt es mit Endo überein.
