Open & Close

Open & Close features three iconic Fela Kuti tracks. "Open and Close" teaches listeners the signature Afrobeat dance moves with vibrant African energy. "Swegbe and Pako" explores competence versus incompetence through Fela's distinctive broken-English style, defining excellence and mediocrity across professions. "Gbagada Gbagada Gbogodo Gbogodo" recounts the Egba people's courageous resistance against colonial forces, celebrating their fight for freedom and future generations. Essential Afrobeat vinyl.
