FLEE Issue No. 1 - Benga Music 2018 Repress

6 rare and almost forgotten benga tracks from Kenya including edits by Nik Weston, Jaakko Eino Kalevi and Africaine 808!
Inculding a 16 page printed silkscreen magazine!
We differenciated the repress from the first and original pressing with two details. The colour of the macaron on the vinyl has been changed and the silkscreen pressing colour printing of the magazine has been changed a bit as well.
This is to make sure that the copies can be differenciated from the first pressing. Nevertheless, the quality and standards of production all remain the same.
Every copy still includes the silkscreen printed magazine, the vinyl, and the silkscreen printed enveloppe.
FLEE is a collective of dedicated afro-diggers, driven by the enthusiasm to find and preserve semi-forgotten genres. For their first release they focused on an old Kenyan music genre called “Benga”. The record will be completed by a printed silkscreen magazine retracing the history of the genre, which will feature original archive pictures, great authors from the region, such as Emmanuel Mwenda, as well as the writer and singer of the eclectic Kenyan Band, Yellow Light Machine, Ondiso Madete. This vinyl compiles six rare and for some unreleased benga tracks, edited by contemporary artists (Nik Weston aka Mukat, Jaakko Eino Kalevi and Africaine 808), with the aim of approaching this genre with an innovative perspective, transcending simple nostalgia.
