Luaka Bop

Luaka Bop

Luaka Bop is a world music-oriented record label established by David Byrne, former guitarist/singer/songwriter of the art rock/new wave band Talking Heads. It is considered a semi-independent label, since it receives major-label distribution. The label was started in the late 1980s; in addition to Byrne's solo records, the label has put out albums by Los Amigos Invisibles, King Changó, Jim White, Shoukichi Kina, A R Kane, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Zap Mama [http://www.luakabop.com/zap_mama/cmp/album4.html] , and Cornershop, among others. Luaka Bop has also been responsible for putting together several series of compilations representing sounds from around the world. Brazil Classics kicked off the label and a set of seven albums surveying eras and artists ranging from Samba to Tropicália. Ventures into Afro-Peruvian [http://www.luakabop.com/afro_peru/cmp/album.html] and AfroPean musics unearthed the talents of Susana Baca and Zap Mama, respectively. World Psychedelic Classics is made up of 4 albums and includes artists such as Shuggie Otis [http://www.luakabop.com/shuggie_otis/cmp/album.html] , Os Mutantes [http://www.luakabop.com/os_mutantes/cmp/album1.html] , Tim Maia [http://timmaia.com/] as well as West African artists of the late 60's. Additionally, the label has released Cuba [http://www.luakabop.com/cuba_classics/cmp/album1.html] and Asia Classics [http://www.luakabop.com/asia_classics/cmp/album1.html] .

Byrne took the phrase "Luaka Bop" for his record label from the inner packaging of a specialty tea which is sold in England. (Luaka is the name of a tea importer. Luaka's "Broken Orange Pekoe" is packaged in a silver foil block; when the sleeve is removed, it reveals a white label stuck to the foil, reading "Luaka BOP".)
