About Africa

Africa’s sole release was the 1968 LP Music From ‘Lil Brown,’ but the group’s musicians had been playing together (in various forms) as doo-wop group The Valiants since 1955. In 1960 they teamed up with Lou Adler, the music industry bigwig later known for managing The Mamas & the Papas, producing Carole King’s Tapestry, and discovering Cheech & Chong. Adler produced Music from ‘Lil Brown,’ but sadly, despite his fame the album has stayed relatively unheard and hard to come by.
