Femi Kuti

Nigeria

The new contemporary Afrobeat

City Hall: 21h00

Previously from 19h00: "Femi Kuti - Live at the shrine"

Sudorific sound

Musically, he has managed to move away from the shadow cast by his father Fela, and his Afrobeat flirts with modern Hip Hop. Politically, on the other hand, Femi Kuti follows in Fela's footsteps.

His father Fela Anikulupo Kuti is considered the creator of the Afrobeat, the explosive cocktail of jazz, funk and traditional sounds and rhythms. In addition, Fela was a black power man. He died of AIDS in 1997. Fela's protests and resistance to the corruption and cruelty exerted by the powerful in Nigeria is being continued by son Femi - in front of the microphone in the form of committed lyrics, on the saxophone and as band leader of a 14-piece combo which really goes for it: the dancers and chorus girls turn up the heat, pulsating percussion rhythms get your feet tapping, the E-bass grooves vivaciously, then saxophone and trumpet solos flirt with the collec-tive sound: finally, repetitive guitar riffs intensify with metallic-sounding keyboard pieces and impressive wind refrains. The result? A profound sound.
