Radio Africa is an album by the Russian rock band Aquarium. The album's style presents an eclectic mix of influences: new wave, art rock, post-punk, jazz, psychedelia, honky tonk, free improvisation, ethnic music and others. According to the liner notes of the remastered version of the album, it was recorded in a mobile studio owned by the Soviet government, after the band bribed its technician. Many guest musicians participated in the recording, including the notable saxophonist Igor Butman and avant-garde jazz pianist Sergey Kuryokhin. The album includes some of Aquarium's best known and most cited songs - Captain Africa, The Art of Being Humble, and the bleak anthem Rock 'n Roll is Dead, which was chosen by Nashe Radio as one of the top 100 Russian rock songs of the twentieth century. Due to its eclecticism and historical importance it was dubbed "The White Album of Russian rock".
