Free Song Of The Day: "Zombie" by Fela Kuti

August 08, 2011  /  Michael Sajkowicz

And now for something a little different...

Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti's 12 1/2 minute song "Zombie", from his album of the same name, is available as today's free download on Amazon.com.  Originally released in 1977 as a protest song against the Nigerian military, the track so infuriated the government that they launched a vicious assault on Kuti's commune and murdered his mother.

RIYL: Afrobeat, jazz, fusion, zombies and free stuff.
