As part of the ongoing 50th Anniversary reissues of Fela Kuti albums, Ezra Collective have recorded very special versions of ‘Lady’ and ‘Shakara’. Both songs were originally released on Fela Kuti’s album ‘Shakara’ in 1972, and the album is reissued in 2023 on limited edition pink vinyl with a gold foil obi-strip, accompanied by a yellow 7" which features A and B sides ‘Lady’ and ‘Shakara’, both recorded by Ezra Collective.
Of the Ezra Collective x Lady version, Femi Koleoso says:
"When I was a child my dad had a collection of Fela Kuti CDs. He would play them in the car on long drives. At the time I didn’t know who it was or what it was, but I always knew it was my favourite music to listen too. Fast forward 2 decades and nothing has changed, Fela Kuti remains our musical hero and foundational inspiration of Ezra Collective. From the very first Ezra gig we have been playing tribute to his music. To have it documented to celebrate his legacy on a vinyl is a dream come true. The opportunity was too special to keep to ourselves, thank you to Kinetika Bloco for being a part of the horn section. The original remains unbeatable, but I hope this remix makes you dance as well."
