A crucial late-career album from the pioneer of Afrobeat, featuring his signature politically charged extended-form compositions.
- Recorded and released in 1985, "No Agreement" arrived after a period of political reprisal for Kuti, including imprisonment.
- The album's title track is a direct critique of the Nigerian government's actions and perceived betrayals.
- As with most of Kuti's recordings, he produced the album himself at his own Felay Music production company.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, composer, political activist, and pioneer of the Afrobeat genre. He remained a leading voice in Nigerian popular music and political discourse through the 1970s and 1980s, known for his politically charged lyrics and extended improvisations.
