Following up on the incendiary June / July tour, Disorient keeps the fires burning with the vinyl edition of Seun Kuti's debut album.
Seun is undoubtedly the heir of Fela Kuti’s hardline militancy. Apart from the erotic
"Fire Dance", every track on this LP is a ravaging pamphlet against the corruption,
ignorance, malady, sadness, pollution and the many others ill that ravage contemporary
Africa. From the opening bars of the self-titled debut from Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 - ideas, words, and notes whiz about with abandon. For this debut album, Seun is leading the legendary Egypt 80 orchestra, his father's last band. Egypt 80 have been together for over 2 decades and it shows in every note: the cohesion, absolute precision, the rhythmic reflexes, the ultra-syncopated polyphony wrapped up in a mesmeric groove.
