Soundway

New 38 track compilation from the acclaimed Soundway Records. Includes previously unreleased first ever known recordings of Afrobeat legend - Fela Kuti. In conjunction with compiler and highlife researcher Dr. Markus Coester, Soundway Records present a very special release. In many ways this compilation is a prequel of sorts to Soundway's groundbreaking Nigeria and Ghana Special compilations, telling the early story of modern highlife's foundation and formulation. It traces the music from West Africa to London, adding elements of jazz, mambo and calypso along the way and paving the way for the afro sounds of the 1970s.CD - Double CD LP - Triple 180 Gram gatefold vinyl (with a bonus 7 inch). This 45 includes the two first ever recordings by a certain Fela Ransome Kuti with his band The Highlife Rakers.
