Fela Kuti: The Black President
Available · one owner onlyArchive note
Japanese promotional material for a lost Fela Kuti concert or festival appearance, rendered in hand-drawn illustration style with bilingual text (Japanese and English). The poster depicts Fela mid-performance with saxophone, backed by ensemble musicians, suggesting a major cultural event that may have been planned but never documented in Western archives. The inclusion of 'Zombie' as a subtitle implies a setlist or thematic focus on his most politically charged work. Collectors of Afrobeat ephemera, Japanese music advertising, and Pan-African cultural history will recognize this as evidence of Fela's reach into Asian music markets during the 1970s-80s.
