Fela Kuti

Today marks the annual day of fools where the art of pranks and jokes will run rampant, but for us music lovers today marks something a bit more special; the two week countdown to Record Store Day! Coming from a kid who grew up in a digital world, I had to seek out these magical places rather than know vinyl as a norm which actually made my experiences digging all the more time-honoring. In honor of the upcoming Record Store Day, Knitting Factory Records has announced the release of a limited edition Fela Kuti vinyl EP. Set for an April 17th release, the record aims to highlight the gap between Kuti’s days of African highlife style to Afrobeat from 1969-1970. Check out the tracklist under the cut and make sure you snag this limited edition vinyl piece before it disapears!
