=== African Influence === | |||
''Remain in Light'' was heavily influenced by African dance music, most notably the [[High Life]] and [[Afrobeat]] music of [[Fela Kuti]]. Some articles following the release of the album, and continuing to today, often credit [[Brian Eno]] with alerting the group of this genre of music. In multiple interviews since then, all four core band members have discussed being interested in African music long before the recording of the album. In a 2024 interview, Harrison stated "''We were all in love with Fela Kuti. But I don’t know if Brian is the one who introduced us to it. Everyone in the band loved African music, like [[Manu Dibango]] and [[King Sunny Adé]]. I’d say if there was one single African artist I fell in love with it would be Fela.''"<ref>Malkin, John. “Love of Music | Good Times.” ''Good Times'', 14 Aug. 2024, www.goodtimes.sc/interview-harrison-belew-remain-in-light-tour/.
