Fela Kuti-”Coffin For Head of State”

Probably in bad form to post a 20-minute MP3, but this is just one track and let’s just presume that you download it, you love it and you go see Seun Kuti. Everyone wins, it stays in the family, etc. etc.

Honestly, I haven’t been able to go three hours in the last week without listening to “Coffin For Head of State.” (Read album backstory here).The obsession’s almost strange and I’d like to explain it properly but this is the sort of song that you either need to write 10,000 words about, or just post it and shut the fuck up. I’ll choose the latter for now.
