Coffin for Head of State

Description

The album, consisting of a single track, is one of Fela’s most courageous responses to the Nigerian army’s destruction of Kalakuta on February 18, 1977. During the attack, Fela’s 78-year-old mother, a veteran of Nigeria’s struggle for independence from British colonial rule and an activist for Nigerian women’s rights, was thrown from an upstairs window, fracturing her leg. Fela believed the assault led to his mother’s death 14 months later. [Excerpt from historian Chris May]
