Limited Edition
Shakara [Pink + Yellow 7-inch] Vinyl
Shakara finds Fela Kuti & The Africa 70 in full command of their powers, delivering two hypnotic tracks that helped define the Afrobeat sound. This special edition includes the full album on pink vinyl and a bonus 7-inch single on yellow vinyl - a must-have pairing for collectors and groove seekers alike.
The album opens with the unforgettable “Lady,” where Fela challenges Westernized gender roles over a relentlessly smooth groove. His vocals glide effortlessly over interlocking rhythms, sharp horn blasts, and that unmistakable Africa 70 energy. On the flip side, “Shakara (Oloje)” takes a cheeky jab at braggarts, with Fela’s trademark mix of sarcasm and swagger riding a wave of funk-infused percussion and sax.
The pink LP captures the full album experience in all its analog glory, while the yellow 7-inch offers a vibrant bonus that’s equal parts eye candy and ear candy. Together, they celebrate the bold sound and spirit of one of Africa’s most influential musical pioneers.
This edition is more than a reissue - it’s a tribute to Fela’s fearless artistry, pressed with flair and intention. File it under essential. Then play it like you mean it.
