RIKKI ILILONGA & MUSI-O-TUNYA 'Dark Sunrise' Triple LP Box Set (US, Now-Again, Catalogue #NA 5067) Brand new/unplayed copy of long SOLD OUT/OUT OF PRINT limited year 2010 Triple LP Box Set anthology edition of three monster rare African Psych/Funk/Rock LPs from 1975 and 1975 ("Wings Of Africa," "Sunshine Love," and "Zambia") by Zambian artist Rikki Ililonga & Musi-O-Tunya. Packaged in a heavy clamshell box and including a 12-page booklet with copious liner notes, photos and interview.
(NOTE: SOLD OUT/OUT OF PRINT/LIMITED 3XLP VINYL BOX SET EDITION!)
Dark Sunrise contains 25 tracks that can be distilled to simple descriptions driving music characterized by James Brown’s raw funk, combined with the fuzz guitar sounds of Jimi Hendrix and the polyrhythms native to this African nation. But this neglects to mention Musi-O-Tunya and Ililonga’s otherworldliness. Sure, the majority of their work is performed in English, but this is unique psychedelic rock/blues/rumba/folk/funk music, the likes of which has rarely been heard outside of Zambia’s borders. This gem is packaged as a 3xLP box set. Included is a stunning 16-page full color booklet with never-before-seen photos, ephemera, an introduction to the Zam-Rock scene and a candid interview between Egon and this little known yet genius African multi-instrumentalist himself.
