Strictly limited (75 of each title) indies only coloured editions of six reissues of Nigerian icon and Afrobeat originator Fela Kuti’s most important albums. This will be the first time they are released individually since their original vinyl release in Nigeria in the 70s and 80s.

Of all African musicians, Fela Kuti probably need the least introduction. He passed his half century with over 50 albums to his credit and became the radiant rallying point for African underclass and political prisoners everywhere, as such it is almost impossible to overstate the impact and importance of Fela Anikulapo (Ransome) Kuti to the global musical village.

Fela Kuti was a one man genre, whose music “Afrobeat” took it’s inspiration from the fight for human dignity. Afrobeat’s combination of blaring horn sections, antiphonal vocals, Fela’s quasi-rapping pidgin English, and percolating guitars, wrapped up in a smoldering groove that could last nearly an hour, was an intoxicating sound. Once hooked, it was impossible to get enough. These sets were originally released as part of the box set Vol 2.
