While his father’s influence cannot be understated, this new CD sees Kuti cut his own musical path, bringing contemporary influences into the traditional Afrobeat approach.
The album captures Seun Kuti and Egypt 80’s extraordinary live power, scorching rhythms and kinetic funk energy that has earned the band worldwide acclaim as one of the world’s most incendiary live acts. With Kuti’s booming vocals, songs like “African Soldiers” and “Mr. Big Thief” are fueled by call-and-response hooks, breakneck tempos, and combative, topical lyricism prove the classic Egypt 80 sound remains a distinctive and commanding musical force the modern era.
