Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 return with a huge new single, ‘Black Times’, featuring the unmistakeable guitar work of special guest Carlos Santana. Based around an infectious mid-tempo Afrobeat groove, the track sees Seun calling for reflection and a collective focus on black history to energise and organise for the future: “We must pass the black knowledge to the future black God and Goddess”. ‘Black Times’ is the title track from his new album, which will be released on 2nd March 2018 on Strut.
Why do you love this album? Well, it is the quality of ALL the Analog Africa releases , the astonishing presentation- artwork, AWESOME booklets, the mastering, the music first of all and the feeling you connect with it and the artists involved. Due to not earning enough I changed from vinyl to CDs, but I am glad for the high quality downloads of the vinyl only releases that you are able to burn to disc. Together with a chosen few others AA is a greater than great label. Period. Markus Bader
