Fela Anikulapo Kuti - Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense [1986]



'Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense' adopted a markedly different aesthetic to the one Kuti typically used, and it was a triumph. The album was recorded shortly after Kuti had been released from jail, where he'd served 20 months on the smuggling charge. 
 Badarou's production is richer and more burnished than was the norm for Kuti. Indeed, it's almost orchestral. The sound is smoother, the beat more chilled, and the arrangement denser, with layers of keyboards, a serpentine horn chart, and the backup choir placed well forward in the mix. 
....This isn't democracy, says Kuti, it's "demo-crazy."
