Omo Lewa

Omo Lewa by Nigerian born band leader and multi-instrumentalist Peter King was originally released in 1976. From start to finish, King weaves Afrobeat, highlife, and jazz with mesmerizing skill. Long out of print, this album contains some of the prolific artist's finest work. Highlights like Afro-Funk and Ajo have been singeing slipmats via recent African compilations and whetting the appetites of numerous music fans. As prices on the collector's market reiterate, this pent up demand has made Omo Lewa Peter King's most sought after LP. In addition, overlooked tracks like Omo Lewa, Eda, and Ko Dara help solidify what is surely one of King's most consistently hard hitting records. Following up our reissue of Peter King's African Dialects, we are thrilled to again be working directly with Orbitone Records and Peter King to bring this great record back into print. Also available on LP.
