Eli is a collaborative studio album by Dutch guitarist Jan Akkerman and vocalist Kaz Lux. A departure from the progressive rock that Focus (Akkerman's previous band) produced, "Eli" is a concept album with elements of jazz, pop, and funk intermixed.
It won the Netherlands' Edison Award in 1976 for Best Album. The track "Strindberg" was written as a tribute to August Strindberg's works.
