On "Stalemate", using a combination of Broken English and Yoruba, Fela muses briefly on the face-off between Nigeria’s military regime and the social groups who made up the bulk of his audience: students, intellectuals and sufferheads (as he called the urban working class), over one of the more laid-back grooves in his entire catalog.

Stalemate is one of six albums in the sixth Fela Kuti Box Set, curated by Idris Elba. Stream/Purchase “Stalemate (Edit)” & pre-order Box Set #6 here: https://felakuti.lnk.to/boxset6
