RELEASE DATE

PMG present a reissue of
Akwassa
's
La'ila
, originally released in 1975. Akwassa were among the best Afro-beat bands coming from Nigeria. They were one of the early Nigerian Funk bands to get an album out. They were related to the
Heads Funk Band
and most members were part of both bands. They managed to release two albums as Akwassa. Their debut
La'ila
came out on a well-known Afro-beat label, Afrodisia Records. Akwassa were originally a duo made of
Felix Day
(guitar and vocals) and
Kevin Coburn
(organ, synthesizer and vocals). Felix Day is actually
Feladey
, the guitarist in
Aktion
(another top-notch Nigerian). On
La'ila
the band used a lot of synthesizers and the overall sound is very pleasing. Overall, the album has a raw and unpolished sound, but that's what brings that certain spark for being among the very best in the Afro-beat genre.
