Music of Many Colours is a joint album between Roy Ayers and Fela Kuti, recorded after a three week tour of Nigeria’s major cities in 1979.

After 'Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense', Wally Badarou was back in the producer's chair for this effort, which was political in the extreme.

Upside Down was written by Fela to portray a worldly travelled African, who searches the dictionary, and finds the definition of upside down—a perfect description of the African situation.

Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense: Fela explains the role of the teacher in any society.

London Scene is the beginning of what would become Fela’s signature “Afrobeat” style and a great introduction to the man and his music.

At the time of its release, the name of this album would have been recognized by any Nigerian as the acronym for International Telephone and Telegraph,

Fear Not For Man was written in the heat of Fela’s conflict with the military.

Fela’s encouragement to his fellow Nigerians, saying, essentially, that if you’re working in tune with the universe, nothing can be done to stop you. Extending the point further: the world needs the black man, and therefore it needs Africa.

Everything Scatter is about the person and actions of Fela and the members of Kalakuta Republic, which for a long time has become cause for controversy among the Nigerian public.
