Fela Kuti Afrodisiac: 50th Anniversary Edition

Color Of Vinyl Subject To Change Without Notice / Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available

Afrodisiac is the fifth in the series of celebratory Fela Kuti 50th Anniversary reissues. 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 track 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 Fela's first major hit across West Africa. "Chop and Quench" means "eat and die" in Standard English. Like its predecessors in the series, this double LP edition is on colored vinyl. 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.
