Fela's Political Moves Around 1976

In January, 1976, Fela drops his most fiery, confrontational song – “Zombie” is a blistering attack on the army, soldiers, and everyone who “just follows orders” to protect those in power.

And the response from the government — and its army — is almost immediate. Plus, an unreleased cover of “Zombie” from Santigold.
