We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Every Thursday Is Now Thank You Thursday!!

Update #2 · Jun 21, 2012 · comment

This Thursday, we’ll be giving away the amazing “Zombie” tee as a gigantic thank you to one lucky Kickstarter backer!

If you needed an extra incentive, this is it.

The Zombie tee is Literati’s tribute to the late great Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Shortly after the change of his name to Anikulapo (meaning 'one who has death in his pocket'). His hit album Zombie, an attack on the Nigerian military was a precursor/ catalyst that led to an attack on him, bringing Fela face to face with death. The intertwining of these events and its duality inspired this piece.

The tee is available for guys and gals...but first, become a backer today with $15 or more and get in the running! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/786164501/my-africa-is

Thanks for your support!
