Remain in Light

With Brian Eno producing, Talking Heads built these songs from layered, looping grooves inspired in part by Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, adding players such as Adrian Belew and Jon Hassell. David Byrne's vocals came late, fitted over the rhythm. Once in a Lifetime anchors a record that joined new wave to African and funk polyrhythm.
