New York based Knitting Factory Records is going to re-release all 45 Fela Kuti works over the next 18 months. Included in this reissue series is the entire catalog of Fela’s 1960s highlife band Koola Lobitos. The first release of the series will be The Best Of The Black President on October 27, 2009.
The deluxe edition of the CD will come with a DVD featuring segments from the film Music is the Weapon, performances from the Berlin Jazz Festival and interviews with choreographer/director Bill T. Jones and Fela biographer Carlos Moore.
A great opportunity for all Fela Fans to round out their collections.
