About
Pulsating polyrhythmic percussion drives this high-energy Afrobeat track, layered with funky bass grooves that lock into infectious call-and-response singing rallying against political corruption. Bold brass horn riffs erupt in extended improvisational solos, evoking Fela Kuti's rebellious spirit amid dense percussion ensembles and raw, live-oriented production. The communal groove builds to a powerful percussion break, urging listeners to dance in defiance and unity.
