Fela Kuti - Opposite People & Sorrow Tears and Blood (1977) [Reissue 2010]

Sorrow, Tears and Blood (1977): A response to the Soweto Uprising of 1976 where thousands of South African students protested the forced teaching of Afrikaans. The song calls out killings that have gone on in the name of authority and totalitarian rule as well as the instruments of repression of colonial.
Opposite People (1977): A rant expressing Fela s aggravation with people who go against the grain of the crowd. His annoyance extends to a person who ruins the fun of a group of people dancing, or someone who is trying to speak seriously when others are simply enjoying themselves. Equalization of Trouser and Pant explains that all people are equal both naturally and under the law and everyone has a role to claim in society.
