Bio / Background
Toks´African roots are very important to him and he spent many years playing up and down the west coast of Africa: Lagos, Cotonou, Lome, Accra, Abidjan, Monrovia, Freetown, Conacry, Bissau, Banjul, Dakar, Niamey... you name it! During these journeys he met Fela Anikulapo Kuti and came to live for several years in his self proclaimed independent republic in Lagos - the Kalakuta Republic. Here he recorded with Fela and the legendary Egypt 80 Band.
- I first met Fela in 1979 in Lagos and came back a year later to see him. When I first went to his home, Kalakuta, he greeted me in his usual swimming trunks, Toks remembers. - We talked for a while and then he sent one of his drivers to help me pick up my stuff from a friend´s place and when we got back I settled in... The next day I played some of my stuff for Fela and he really liked what he heard. Eventually he said I could record some of my stuff with his group. We did that not so long after.
