Luaka Bop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Luaka Bop is the world music record label established by David Byrne, former guitarist and songwriter for the punk rock/new wave band Talking Heads. The label was started in the late 1980s; in addition to Byrne's solo records, the label puts out albums by Los Amigos Invisibles, King Changó, Jim White, Shoukichi Kina, Tom Zé, Os Mutantes, Zap Mama and Cornershop, among others.

David Byrne took the name '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 with a distinctive royal-blue sleeve around it. The writing on the sleeve is in gold. When the sleeve is removed, it reveals a white label stuck to the foil. The label reads simply, "Luaka BOP".
