About Fela Kuti Afrobeat Album (1976)

This system channels the explosive visual language of Fela Kuti's album covers — dense collage-illustration compositions by artist Lemi Ghariokwu, rendered in pan-Africanist red, yellow, and green on black ground. Every surface carries the energy of a 12-inch vinyl sleeve doubling as a political pamphlet against military dictatorship.

The aesthetic is unapologetically loud: compressed bold sans-serif headlines shout like protest placards, thick black borders frame content like silkscreen poster prints, and saturated color blocks demand attention the way Fela's 20-minute grooves demanded the dance floor at the Shrine.
