Synopsis

Product Description
Best Of The Black President signifies the rebirth of Knitting Factory Records. Earlier in 2009, KFR licensed the 45 album Fela Kuti catalog. Over the next 18 months, remasters of all the Fela CD's will be re-released in unique digi-paks with the original artwork. KFR will also re-release all the titles on vinyl for the first time in North America. Additionally, KFR will be giving the first official release to the entire Koola Lobitos catalogue--this was Fela's highlife band which he fronted through the 60's.

Best Of The Black President compiles 13 of the most popular Fela compostions. The deluxe version included a DVD featuring segments from 'Music Is The Weapon', the Berlin Jazz Festival, 'Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonesense', and interviews with Bill T. Jones and Carlos Moore.
