<< Mating Calls
In honor of (Not our) President's Day, Mating Calls is paying tribute to The Black President: Mr. Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti. Fela is an absolute staple in the Two Shakes household, and just one of the many artists featured this month who has radicalized our views on white supremacy, colonialism, and Africa's indelible contribution to the wonderful world of music.
You'll hear ten favorites of M2S and The Jerk, though this playlist would have lasted much, much longer if we were to play every song that made us fall in love with Fela ❤️ Nevertheless, this is meant to be a gateway drug to the King of Afrobeat himself, so smoke 'em if you gottem and enjoy the ride 🎢
