{"product_id":"720841204138","title":"Fela Kuti And Afrika 70 ‎– Fear Not For Man (1977) - New Vinyl Record 2017 Knitting Factory Records Limited Edition Reissue on Green Vinyl with Download - Funk \/ Afrobeat","description":"\u003cp\u003eStreet Date: 8\/11\/17\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFear Not For Man was one of the first albums to be released by Fela following the sacking of his Kalakuta Republic compound by 1,000 soldiers on 18 February 1977. Fela, along with many other Kalakuta residents, was brutally beaten; his mother, then aged 77, was thrown out of a window, fracturing a leg. The army set fire to the compound, destroying six Afrika 70 vehicles, all Fela’s master tapes and band equipment, a four-track recording studio, and all the community members’ personal belongings. It is doubtful, contrary to some sources, Fear Not For Man was recorded after the attack – doubt which is dispelled by neither the gruesome front sleeve design, showing blood flowing down Fela’s face. His response came later, on albums such as Unknown Soldier (1979) and Coffin For Head Of State (1980); Fela’s practice of no longer performing a song live once he had released it on record is the reason for the two\/three year gap between the attack and the release of these albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tracklist\" class=\"section tracklist\" data-toggle=\"tracklist\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"group\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section_content\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"playlist\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicGroup\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"A\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eFear Not For Man\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e14:14\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\" tracklist_track track\" data-track-position=\"B\" itemprop=\"track\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/MusicRecording\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_pos\"\u003eB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"track tracklist_track_title \"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"tracklist_track_title\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003ePalm-Wine Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"tracklist_track_duration\" width=\"25\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15:16\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section credits toggle_section toggle_section_collapsed   toggle_section_remember\" data-toggle-section-id=\"credits\" id=\"credits\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"toggle_section_control float_fix\" data-for=\".credits\"\u003eCredits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section_content toggle_section_content\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list_no_style\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eBaritone Saxophone\u003c\/span\u003e – Lekan Animashaun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eBass Guitar\u003c\/span\u003e – Nweke Atifoh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eChorus\u003c\/span\u003e – Bimbo Adelanwa, Bola Olaniyi, Emaruagheru Osawe, Fehintola Kayode, Kewe Oghomienor, Ronke Edason, Shade Komolafe, Tejumade Adebiyi, Tolake Oladeinde, Yemi Abegunde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eCongas [1st]\u003c\/span\u003e – Oladeinde Koffi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eCongas [2nd]\u003c\/span\u003e – Addo Nettey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eCongas [3rd]\u003c\/span\u003e – Shina Abiodun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eDrums\u003c\/span\u003e – Ladi (Tony) Alabi [Tony Allen]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eGuitar [1st]\u003c\/span\u003e – Leke Benson\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eGuitar [3rd]\u003c\/span\u003e – Okalue Ojeah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eGuitar [Tenor]\u003c\/span\u003e – Oghene Kologbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eMaracas\u003c\/span\u003e – Babajide Olaleye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003ePercussion [Sticks]\u003c\/span\u003e – Ayoola Abayomi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eRhythm Guitar\u003c\/span\u003e – Clifford Itoje\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eTrumpet [1st]\u003c\/span\u003e – Tunde Williams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"role\"\u003eTrumpet [2nd]\u003c\/span\u003e – Nwokoma Ukem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"toggle_section_control float_fix\" data-for=\".notes\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"WEA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48010376212,"sku":"720841204138","price":35.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1377\/6983\/products\/ff7e45bded09b6ef793ba02a9006688a365a519d.jpg?v=1502299166","url":"https:\/\/www.wagzphotos.com\/products\/720841204138","provider":"wagzphotos","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
