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. By 1961, the group was one of London's most popular rhythm'n'beat bands. Returning to Nigeria, in 1963, Kuti formed a second version of the band with Tony Allen (drums), Ojo Okeji (bass), Yinka Roberts (guitar), Isaac Olasugba (saxophone), Tunde Williams and Eddie Aroyewu (trumpet), Tex Becks and Uwaifo (tenor saxophone), and Fred Lawal (guitar).
Attempting to reach a more global audience, Kuti relocated the band to the United States in 1969. Although they performed in clubs along the West Coast, the group continued to struggle financially. Upon their return to Nigeria, at the beginning of 1970, the group was renamed Fela Kuti & Afrika 70. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide

It's scary how well the Youtube algorithm knows me. I know nothing about golf, I don't feel the need to learn anything about golf, but here I am, in awe and filled with admiration.
@clactonmassive
