News: 50th Anniversary Of Fela Kuti’s ‘Shakara’ To Be Reissued, Out Friday (13.01.2023) – Ezra Collective share their reinterpretation of the album’s ‘Lady’

With the 50th Anniversary reissue of Fela Kuti‘s seminal Shakara landing this Friday, Jan 13th, on Partisan Records, Ezra Collective share their reinterpretation of the album’s a-side ‘Lady‘ – an Afrobeat maelstrom that comes off the back of Ezra Collective’s acclaimed new album, Where I’m Meant To Be, which landed back in November via Partisan.

Available digitally, ‘Lady’ will be released physically this Friday on yellow 7” vinyl alongside the 50th Anniversary reissue of Shakara. The 7” also includes a second, equally special Ezra Collective reinterpretation of the LP’s title track, ‘Shakara‘.
