Fela Kuti "Zombie" Vinyl Record

DENIM TEARS has collaborated with Fela Kuti, the pioneering Nigerian musician, activist, composer and creator of Afrobeat on a limited edition vinyl of Kuti's 1976 album, "Zombie".

 

"Zombie" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2025 and made history as the first Nigerian album to be inducted. "Zombie" has been widely honored as a groundbreaking work of protest music, and among other accolades Pitchfork named it one of the Best Albums of the 1970s, saying, “perhaps Fela’s most effective fusion of funk and politics, it confronted Nigeria’s increasingly corrupt, detached government head-on, and in doing so both united the public and incensed the ruling party.

 

This exclusive album packaging features  images of the New Afrika Shrine taken by Bolaji Alonge, connecting directly back to Lagos, while still paying homage to Lemi Ghariokwu's iconic original design.
