Description

In 1998, Desco Records - a precursor to the Daptone and Soul Fire labels - released the album Soul Explosion by the Daktaris. It was then presented as a reissue of a Nigerian LP from the 70s that had been unearthed shortly before. While we now know that it was a completely fabricated story, we cannot deny the importance of this record as a foundational element of the afrobeat and afro-funk revival of the past two decades. The roots of the Budos Band, Antibalas, and countless other groups trace back to this enigmatic afro-funk release. Two decades later, Daptone remastered the album from the original tapes and included a bonus track that was previously only available on 45s, along with extensive notes from Bosco Mann recounting the true story of the Daktaris sessions.
