    2016 reissue of Nigerian funk band Akwassa's 1975 debut album 'La'ila'. They were one of the finest afro-beat bands to come out of Nigeria at the time. La'ila is packed full of synthesisers and has that very raw and unpolished sound which is what makes this album one of the very best of the afro-beat genre.
