Lekan Animashaun – Low Profile (Not for the Blacks)

Strut Records proudly presents a reissue of the original Afrobeat classic "Low Profile (Not For The Blacks)", recorded and composed by Lekan Animashaun, saxophonist and bandleader of Afrika 70, and produced by Fela Kuti.

After years of touring the world as Fela's baritone saxophonist, Animashaun took over as leader of the legendary band Egypt 80 after Tony Allen's departure and remained its musical director until Fela's death in 1997. He continued to tour with Seun Kuti until 2016. Lekan began recording his only solo project, "Low Profile", in 1977.

The album was composed and recorded in several sessions at home in Nigeria and on tour with Fela, who both produced the recordings and contributed keyboards to the album's title track. The Strut reissue features the full original artwork, has been completely remastered by The Carvery and includes brand new liner notes by Lekan Animashaun himself.
