Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 April 18, 2009

Son of Nigerian music legend Fela Kuti, saxophonist and vocalist Seun Kuti has been performing on stage since he was nine years old, beginning his career as a backup singer in his father’s legendary band Egypt 80. Now, with the same charisma, energy and incendiary spirit that made his father a world music superstar, Seun Kuti leads Fela’s original 20-piece group in an explosive dance party, featuring the Kuti family’s signature Afro-beat magic and social consciousness laced with a contemporary mix of urban funk, soulful grooves and hip-hop rhythms. The concert will feature music from the group’s 2008 self-titled CD, as well as some Fela Kuti classics.
