A sharp and soulful protest wrapped in deep, rolling grooves, Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense showcases Fela Kuti at his most reflective and politically incisive. Originally released in the mid-1980s, this album sees Fela critiquing post-colonial education systems and governmental corruption with piercing wit and poetic fire.
Backed by Egypt 80, the music flows with simmering intensity — blending intricate rhythms, swirling keys, and Fela’s commanding vocals across two sprawling, funk-infused tracks. This 2014 US reissue delivers a faithful, high-quality pressing of a late-period gem in the Afrobeat pioneer’s vast and vital catalog.
