Summary:"Sorrow Tears and Blood offers a glimpse into the complicated social, cultural, and political phenomenon that is Nigeria. The text explores the album in the context of a wider look at how colonialism and its aftermath impacted the social, political, and economic environment in Nigeria, and how Western imperialism continues to affect Nigerian identity and life. Reflecting on the Nigerian presidential elections of February 2023, and on the tense political climate before and after the elections, this album offers a rich sonic and lyrical landscape in which to interrogate the potency of Fela's message for future generations"--Provided by publisher
