Program notes

For this concert at the Grande Halle de La Villette, Seun Kuti joins forces with several guests: the Franco-Cuban twin sisters ‘Ibeyi’, unparalleled Malian pianist, vocalist Cheick Tidiane Seck, and Brooklyn rapper Talib Kweli. A festive musical evening ablaze with the sounds of the legendary Afrobeat groove!

Seun Kuti, Fela’s youngest son, continues to spread the musical heritage of his father, Nigerian artist and activist, creator and indisputed king of Afrobeat, on the international scene. Since 1997, as a singer then saxophonist, Seun Kuti has been leading the group created by his late father, renamed ‘Egypt 80’.

This is just one of over 500 amazing jazz concerts available on medici.tv!
