Performed by Fela and his Afrika 70 at the renowned Berlin Jazz Festival in 1978, this live recording of V.I.P. is possibly Fela’s most profound vilification of the Nigerian government. In his very public address to the European crowd, Fela explains that V.I.P. normally Very Important Personality really stands for Vagabonds in Power, a direct jab both at the Nigerian authorities and power structure, as well as the ruling class. Musically lush, this was to be the last performance of the Afrika 70 as Tony Allen, who had been with him since 1964 and acted as Afrika 70's bandleader had left due to inner strife, mostly having to do with, ironically, complaints about pay, the group disbanded.
