Afrodisiac – 50th Anniversary Fela Kuti SKU: KFR2008-8 Barcode: 0720841206880 25.00 £25.00 Genre: World / Fusion Label: Knitting Factory Released Date: 2nd December 2022 Buying Format: 2LP Coloured Vinyl Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info Fela Kuti (1938 – 1997) was a Nigerian musician, producer, arranger, political radical, outlaw and the originator of Afrobeat. A titanic musical and socio-political voice, Fela’s legacy spans decades and genres, touching on jazz, pop, funk, hip-hop, rock and beyond. ‘Afrodisiac’ is the fifth in the series of celebratory Fela 50th Anniversary reissues. Like its predecessors in the series, this double LP edition is on coloured vinyl; LP1 is green marble and LP2 is on red marble. The album will be wrapped in a gold foil OBI strip with a brief essay on the album and Fela’s global impact on music. Wide spine jacket with printed inner sleeves and liner notes by the legendary Chris May. 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 had become hits in Nigeria. The best known song on the album, ‘Jeun Ko Ku’, is listed by its Pidgin title, ‘Chop and Quench’, on this album. It’s a satire about gluttony and was Fela’s first major hit across West Africa. ‘Chop and Quench’ means ‘eat and die’ in Standard English. ‘Afrodisiac’ was first re-issued on vinyl in 2014 as part of the Fela Box Set #3 curated by Brian Eno. Eno played ‘Afrodisiac’ for David Byrne and it was a huge influence on Talking Heads when they recorded ‘Remain In Light’ – there is a bonus track called ‘Fela’s Riff’ that nods heavily to the influence of hearing ‘Afrodisiac’ and Fela’s music for the first time. Fela came in second place, behind Tina Turner, for the fan vote for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall Of Fame nominations last year, and received great press coverage in NY Times, Rolling Stone, MOJO, Record Collector, and more.
