Afrodisiac collects Fela Kuti and Nigeria 70's early hits, originally recorded in Nigeria and re-recorded at Abbey Road in 1971. The album features four standout tracks: "Alu Jon Jonki Jon," a Yoruba folktale set to music; "Jeun Ko Ku," Fela's breakthrough hit that sold over 200,000 copies within six months; "Eko Ile," celebrating Lagos as home; and "Je'nwi Temi," Fela's defiant statement against censorship. Essential Afrobeat foundations.
