Sale!
Ikoyi Blindness was a middle-of-the-pack release in a sea of mid-'70s Kuti records that featured two songs and about a half-hour's worth of music.
The rhythms were a little tighter and more highlife-influenced than they had been on albums from earlier in the decade.
"Ikoyi Blindness" itself was pretty typical of efforts from the period, both in a structure that built up to call-and-response vocal, and in a taut two-chord melodic base.
"Gba Mi Leti Ki N'Dolowo (Slap Me Make I Get Money)" is a little more interesting due to its choppier rhythms, more vibrant percussion, stuttering low guitar riff, and extended haunting electric keyboard lines.
