Seun Kuti, the indomitable king of modern Afrobeat, is coming to Kino Šiška to take over the Katedrala Hall alongside his father’s legendary collective, Egypt 80.
FOR FANS OF: Fela Kuti, Kamasi Washington, Tony Allen …
As the youngest son of the unforgettable Fela Kuti, Seun entered his father’s band as a child saxophonist and percussionist. Following his father’s death in 1997, and in accordance with his wishes, Seun took over the leadership of the ensemble and carried its political and musical heritage into the new millennium.
Seun Kuti is not only a musician, but also a fierce pan-African activist who revived the socialist Movement of the People (M.O.P.), led protests against police brutality, expressed support for Palestine, and wove his astute social worldview into acclaimed albums and collaborations with names such as Lenny Kravitz, Damian Marley, Kamasi Washington, Sampa the Great, and Tom Morello. His political activism has made him a pariah in the mainstream Nigerian music industry, but this has not shaken his stance.
Following a series of outstanding releases with Egypt 80, including the Grammy-nominated Black Times, Seun’s striking sonic expression currently fuels the fresh album Na Dem, fully produced by Femi Koleoso of Ezra Collective. Prepare for an unforgettable evening of polyrhythmic beats, blazing horns, irresistible dance grooves, and unyielding revolutionary fervour.
Tickets on sale online and at Eventim outlets.
Organisation: Kino Šiška and Druga Godba.
