Analog Africa is a reissue record label based in Frankfurt, established in 2006 by DJ Samy Ben Redjeb.

[2] Redjeb was born in Tunis, and while working as a flight attendant in the 1990s he collected records from across the African continent.

[3] Redjeb conceived of the label in 2001, hoping to release an obscure record by Zimbabwean artist Oliver Mtukudzi from 1977, a project that never came to fruition.

[5]: 1  Redjeb's interest in Beninese music was partly due to a chance meeting with Gnonnas Pedro at a time when Zimbabwe was becoming more dangerous.

[6] Redjeb has said that "I find it really interesting to take something from total obscurity to the global audience because the musicians who originally played the song are really proud of it.
