Koola Lobitos

About the artist

Led by Nigerian-born multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and composer Fela Kuti (Fela Anikulapo Kuti), Koola Lobitos created a unique dance-inspiring hybrid incorporating the highlife music of Nigeria and Western jazz and R'n'B. With its powerful horn-driven arrangements and the piano playing of Wole Bucknor, the group laid the foundations for what evolved into the sounds of Afro-beat. The original lineup of Koola Lobitos was assembled in the late '50s when Kuti was a student at Trinity College of Music in London, England.
