Backed by the irresistible Africa 70, Fela weaponizes sprawling grooves, richly layered horn arrangements, and Tony Allen's commanding percussion to expose state intimidation with wit, humor, and unshakable swagger. The B-side's \"Water No Get Enemy\" shifts the mood, drawing on Yoruba philosophy to deliver a hypnotic meditation on nature and power. Vital, provocative, and infectious from first note to last, Expensive Shit is essential Afrobeat, a reminder that Fela's genius lay in making the political feel utterly, irresistibly alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"352\" width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/5QtXhQE2WvVLz60sYwafQH?utm_source=generator\" style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" data-testid=\"embed-iframe\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Roots","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48307340706051,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2625\/5272\/files\/Expensive_Shit.png?v=1780429825","url":"https:\/\/record-roots.com\/products\/expensive-shit-fela-kuti","provider":"Record Roots","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
