(15) Fela Kuti & The Afrika '70 – Coffin For Head Of State (1981)

The cover of this famous song shows images from a protest that took place in 1979 in Lagos, Nigeria, in front of the Dodan military barracks, at the time the residence of the ruling dictator, General Olusegun Obasanjo (more recently, from 1999 to 2007, a democratically elected president). The protesters carried a coffin that symbolically represented the casket of Fela Kuti's mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti – born in 1900, a teacher and women's rights activist – who had been killed just the year before by soldiers of the regime during a violent raid against Kalakuta Republic, the Ransome-Kuti clan's compound, as retaliation for the continuous musical provocations from the great artist considered the father of afrobeat... The Kuti family's large house was burned and destroyed, many family members were injured, and several women were raped... Fela's mother, 77 years old, was thrown out of a window and died after several weeks in a coma.

Expensive Shit
 
Well tuned in to #radiocapish

We are pleased to announce that "The Baroque Mondays: at the court of the Capish King" is finally reopening, much to the delight of our Sire. Today we take a step back to the dawn of the Baroque period to explore the roots of counterpoint, a typically Baroque form, in the late Renaissance French composer François-Eustache du Caurroy (1549 – 1609), "Maistre de Musique de la Chappelle du Roy"; for whom we offer a listening of some "Fantasies" (1610) recorded for Astrée by Jordi Savall & Hespèrion XX.

Enjoy listening.

Why Are We Sleeping?

The GOMBLOTTO, from its original entertaining role in the game of Gionnicò, has now taken on elephantine proportions (a shocking case of priapism), becoming the exclusive raison d'être of the Debasio entirely.
We need to wake up, why (whywhywhy) are we sleeping? (and what the hell)
