"Zombie" is an Afrobeat protest song by Nigerian musician and bandleader Fela Kuti, recorded with his band Africa 70 and released in 1976 as the title track of the album Zombie. The song satirises Nigerian soldiers through the metaphor of the zombie, portraying them as blindly following military commands. Its popularity heightened tensions between Kuti and the military government, culminating in the 1977 attack on the Kalakuta Republic.
