The next album I’ve chosen in this series is Afrodisiac by Fela Kuti .  It’s cited as a major influence on Remain In Light, my favourite album by Talking Heads and there’s an unfinished outtake on the deluxe version on that album called Fela’s Riff, which draws heavily on Alu Jon Jonki Jon, the first track on Afrodisiac.

This album was recorded Abbey Road in London in 1972 and released the next year. I like afrobeat but know little about the classics, so this has been an exploration for me.
