Femi Kuti

Like father, like son…Femi Kuti takes the genius of his father, Afrobeat superstar Fela Anikulapo Kuti – into a new dimension. Femi’s version of Afrobeat is the most exciting sound to emerge from Nigeria in years, borrowing the best elements of his father’s powerful legacy – deep funk grooves, blazing horns, exuberant percussion and provocative lyrics that propel James Brown’s beats back to Africa – and adding the freshness of young Lagos and its taste for the new sounds of the urban dancefloor.
