Third World - AIYE-KETA (Steve Winwood, Remi Kabaka, Abdul Amao)

In 1973, while Steve Winwood was on hiatus from Traffic due to illness, he took part in a reggae trio called The Third World. It was a one-off project, not to be confused with the better-known, long-running reggae band of the same name. His two collaborators were african musicians Remi Kabaka (who had played with Winwood in Ginger Baker's Air Force) and Abdul Lasisi Amao (a founding member of the african group Osibisa). Their only album Aiye-Keta was produced by Winwood, who also played keyboards, lead guitar, and moog synthesizer.

Some later printings of the album gave artist billing to the three members instead of to Third World, possibly to avoid confusion with that other band.
