Album Notes
2 LPs on 1 CD: YELLOW FEVER/NA POI.
Recorded in 1975 & 1976. Includes liner notes by Michael E. Veal, Jacqueline Grandchamp-Thiam.
Digitally remastered by John Perce Ali Bears.
One in the series of spectacular re-releases of Fela Kuti's 1970s recordings that pairs two albums on one disc, YELLOW FEVER/NA POI bears all the hallmarks of classic Fela. Spread out over an hour of music are incessantly funky rhythmic backdrops, percolating bass, syncopated guitar lines, a horn section that alternately blasts in unison or lays down long, jazz-inspired solos, and Fela's call-and-response dialogues with his backup singers.
The Nigerian performer's commitments to righteousness and political liberation are evident in the song's themes. "Yellow Fever" takes to task the trend of African skin-bleaching, while "Na Poi" extols sexual freedom and experimentation over a sultry, lilting groove. NA POI also includes "You No Go Die...Unless," a song dedicated to displaced refugees living in Lagos. Listeners unfamiliar with Fela's work may find the sprawling, improvised songs and Yoruba singing unusual at first, but repeated listens will reveal the mesmerizing charms of this world-music icon.

Industry Reviews
4 stars out of 5 - ...The band and Fela's own horn lines turn what was always unshakable assertion into tighter precision....His mixture of raw energy and sophistication is as remarkable today as it was when he first put it all on wax...
