    'Akoben' is the second release from New Orleansʼ own full Afrobeat orchestra, Kumasi. Kumasi plays original compositions heavily influenced by the musical style created in Lagos by Fela Kuti and Tony Allen in the early 70s. While the first album, Togetherness, was entirely instrumental, Akoben is laced with call-and-response vocal performances. Limited copies available!
