about

Aphrodesia's classic 2007 album, "Lagos By Bus", now available once again! Recorded after the San Francisco group's legendary tour of West Africa- a tour that culminated in several nights at the New Afrika Shrine in Lagos, Nigeria with Femi Kuti- the album finds the group blasting 'afro-beat' to pieces only to reassemble it again.
