Our Luvva Cover feature is fascinating tonight! Talking Heads made a seminal album 'Remain In Light' in 1980. The album included Once In A Lifetime, was produced by Brian Eno, and drew on the influence of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. The group experimented with African polyrhythms, funk, and electronics recording instrumental tracks as a series of looping grooves. The very important African musician Angélique Kidjo has just released her version of the album. It is a track-by-track re-imagination of the original, considered to be one of the greatest albums of the ‘80s, and injected it with her euphoric singing, explosive percussion, horn orchestrations, and select lyrics performed in languages from her home country. She has said about this record: “As ‘Remain In Light’ was influenced by the music of my continent, I want to pay back the homage and create my own African take on Talking Heads’ songs”. Do give it a listen! Music that you just don't hear anywhere else! www.theafter8show.com Playlist: Sparkle – aYia Red Roozter – North Mississippi Allstars, Code D Caught In A Lie – Fatima Urman – Boy Jugo Never Give Up (High Fly Mix) – Charlotte Someone, Lokka Vox Yemaya – Kele Okereke Brown Round Things – Somi, Ambrose Akinmusire Who Are You – Secret Circuit (E Ruscha V) Rain Makes The River – Jazzanova, Rachel Sermanni Dream Wave – Tiny Ruins Listening Wind – Talking Heads Listening Wind – Angelique Kidjo (Luvva Cover feature) Mint T – 8Ulentina, Organ Tapes This New World - *Thommo* Crawling Back – Plgrms The Bug Collector – Haley Heynderickx Like A Feather – Gold Lounge, Mari Conti How Does It Feel? – George Boomsma River – Talitha Rise I Still Remain – The Western Den Winter – Kalun Townsend
