About This Track
Zombie was first played by Fela Kuti and Africa 70 at FESTAC (Festival for Black Arts and Culture) in Lagos, Nigeria in 1977. The song’s immediate popularity (it satirised the military government of the time) incurred the wrath of the government, and soldiers destroyed Kuti’s home. He fled to Ghana and continued to perform Zombie there, at one point provoking a riot which resulted in the entire band being thrown out of the country. the song is said to have become popular throughout Africa, as a way of cocking a snook at the military governments which plagued many countries there.

Fela at his best - love this track!

DawnMiles wrote:
Maybe I also like this song because e.g. Goerge A romero's Zombie films have such powerful messages behind them e.g. when people loose everything, most redefine their values and stand-together, help each other or become a zombie

Though it is an absolute classic piece!
