Hey Zombie! it´s Time to Dance ♪ ♫

I always try to share and learn new groups and types of music, this song is one of my treasures of life and this is the story when i listen it for the fist time:

I was in the car with my dad returning home after a party when i was like 15 years old. My dad is always listening music, so this was not the exception. The radio started playing a song. Suddenly, almost by inertia, we were moving the head and drumming with our hands feeling the music. After that magical -12 minutes- moment we payed attention to the locutor to known who had played that wonderful song. The name of this excellent artist is Fela Kuti, right know he is one of my favorite musician.

He was the pioneer of a music genre, the Afrobeat (kind of mixture between jazz, funk and african native music) Kuti fought all his life for the right of african people, in fact, he started singing in english so his lyrics could be understood by all the Africa continent in the decade of the 70´. The name of this song, one of the most popular of his career, is a metaphor of the nigerian police, the violence and corruption that was lived at that time in his country. 

I really recommend the full album that has the same name that the song: Zombie. Hope you enjoy this crazy-moving song, dance and feel the Afrobeat through your veins !!!
