Anthology 2

~ Release by Fela Kuti (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Anthology Volume 2 is a beautifully packaged 3 disc set.

CD1 concentrates on his most profilic period 1975 – 1976. CD2 is also with Africa 70 but goes up to 1980 where he then changed the band to Africa 80.

The 3rd Disc is an extraordinary concert recorded in Berlin in 1978, at the height of Fela’s powers. This has never been released before and is exclusive to this set
