Seun Kuti And Egypt 80

The youngest son of the Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti rejoins his father’s band after first performing with them at the tender age of 12. Sean Kuti carries on his dad’s legacy alongside Egypt 80 while blazing his own trail in the music world. Brian Eno produced his album From Africa With Fury: Rise, while the Grammy-nominated Black Times features a guest performance by Carlos Santana. Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s most recent effort, Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head), is the joint brainchild of the band and Lenny Kravitz. The LP includes an appearance by Sodi Marciszewer, a musical associate of Fela Kuti and Damian Marley. Seun’s no stranger to collabs with other artists, having recorded with Common, Janelle Monae, Madlib, and The Roots’ Black Thought. But when he takes the stage with Egypt 80, he has one goal in mind: to play the best live Afrobeat in the world.
