Fela Ransome Kuti & Nigeria ‘70 - The ‘69 Los Angeles Sessions (Stern’s Africa 1993)

Stern’s Africa’s super rare and much sought-after ‘’69 Los Angeles Sessions’, that documents Fela Kuti’s first studio recordings with Nigeria ‘70 (later renamed Africa ‘70) during an ill-advised tour of the US. The quality of these takes is shockingly good, as is the musicianship of this stellar band that features a young Tony Allen and ditto Tunde Williams.
