Stones Throw presents Black Man’s Cry: The Inspiration Of Fela Kuti. This massive set is approved by the Fela estate, and includes rare and previously unreleased music inspired by the founder of Afro-Beat.

This is but a cursory investigation into those inspired by Fela Kuti’s genius, but it is unique: the first time that many of these tracks are not only offered a second chance for worthy introspection, but, in the case of many, the first time they’re being issued full stop.

Compiler Egon has written extensive liner notes – and sourced never before seen Fela photos and other ephemera – for this project, included in the hardbound book that contains the CD and in a large-format booklet in the 4 x 10” vinyl box set.

As a preview, Stones Throw is sharing a free download: Dan Satch and his Atomic 8 Dance Band: “Woman Pin Down”
