Fela Kuti - Fela's Afrodisiac (50th Anniversary Edition)

Fela Kuti's "Afrodisiac" is being lavishly reissued on limited edition marble green (LP1) and marble red (LP2) double vinyl for its 50th anniversary, including gold obi-strip and liner notes by Chris May. Fela Kuti (1938-1997) was a Nigerian musician, producer, arranger, political radical, outlaw and the founder of Afrobeat 

Fela's musical and sociopolitical legacy spans decades and genres including jazz, pop, funk, hip-hop, rock and more. "Afrodisiac" is the fifth album in Fela's 50th anniversary reissue series. The songs on "Afrodisiac" were tracks that Fela and the Nigeria 70 (later Africa 70) re-recorded at Abbey Road Studios in 1972 after they became hits in Nigeria. The album's best-known song, "Jeun Ko Ku," is listed on this album under its pidgin title "Chop and Quench" ("Eat and Die") - a satire on gluttony and Fela's first big hit in West Africa. "Afrodisiac" was reissued on vinyl for the first time in 2014 as part of the Brian Eno-curated "Fela Box Set #3." Eno performed "Afrodisiac" for David Byrne and was a major influence on Talking Head's "Remain In Light."
