Seun Anikulapo his one of the most exciting live performer today.
With a tremendous energy and a natural feeling, he heads up on stage, Egypt 80, the extraordinary combo first fronted by his renowned father, the uncomparable Fela.
His new album follows Kuti's critically praised debut, 2008's Many Things, which was unanimously hailed for continuing Fela's musical legacy. From Africa With Fury: Rise sees Kuti finding his own idiosyncratic voice as songwriter, singer, and band leader, its songs and sonic approach marked by provocative edge and mature self-assurance.
Produced by Brian Eno, John Reynolds, and Kuti, with additional production by Godwin Logie, his new album captures Seun and Egypt 80&8242;s extraordinary power on stage, fraught with the scorching rhythms and kinetic funk energy that has earned the band as ever, under the leadership of musical director/keyboardist Lekan Animashaun worldwide acclaim as one of today's most incendiary live acts.
The original sound of Afrobeat music.
