https://amf.didiermary.fr/fela-kuti-perambulator/
Despite being credited to Egypt 80, “Perambulator” —backed with “Frustration”— was almost certainly recorded in January or early February 1977, years before the formation of the band.
On the original 1983 release, American trumpeter Lester Bowie, of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, was credited as guest soloist. Bowie stayed with Fela for a few weeks […]
