Shakara Oloje-Lady

Here is a one of my favorite African disco tracks in Ephraim Uzomechina Nzeka's funky cover of Fela Kuti's "Shakara Oloje-Lady". This track is featured on both the hard-to-find 1980 LP Brother To Brother, under the name Brother Ephraim, and the excellent African disco compilation African Disco: Deep Disco From 1970s Africa. Overall, Ephraim does a nice job here of making the classic Fela Kuti song all of his own by really speeding up the tempo and making the song very accessible to a disco dancefloor. It's safe to say that his 1980 Brother To Brother LP is high on my wish list. Regardless, it's amazing track that I reccommend snatching up in anyway or format possible. Enjoy.
