"Beasts of No Nation" denounces world leaders as "animals in human skin," a scathing critique featuring Fela's son, Femi Kuti, on a mesmerizing guitar solo. "No Agreement" declares Fela's uncompromising stance against the oppressive Nigerian government, honouring his mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti.

The harmonious finish, tinged with subtle acidity and tannins, promises age-worthy grace.
