Kalakuta Show

The 'Kalakuta Show' album was Fela Kuti's undaunted manner of extracting revenge on the military regime that attacked and brutalized him in 1974. The second of such attacks in a space of eight months, 'Kalakuta Show' was an attempt by the Nigerian police to influence the cause of justice. After the first police raid on Kalakuta in April 1974, Fela was charged to court for 'possession of dangerous drugs', and abduction of 'minors'. However, the evidence presented by the prosecution was easily explained by the defence, who claimed that the drugs found in the premises belonged to Junction Clinic, a government licensed clinic situated inside Kalakuta Republic and run by Fela's younger brother, Dr. Beko Ransome Kuti. On the 'abduction of minors' charge, all the young girls arrested in Fela's house denied they were underage, or abducted, and they claimed in court they went to Fela's house of their own accord.
