"High praise for Seun Kuti, who makes the biggest, wildest, livest music on the planet" - Brian Eno
Torchbearer and soul-incarnate of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Seun Kuti and the famous Egypt 80 Band, carries on his father’s musical message against corruption, injustice and the many problems affecting Nigeria and all of Africa. With his new release, Africa With Fury: Rise, Seun Kuti heads up Egypt 80, the extraordinary combo first fronted by his renowned father. The album follows Kuti's critically praised debut, 2008’s Many Things, which was unanimously hailed for continuing Fela's musical legacy. From Africa With Fury: Rise sees Kuti finding his own idiosyncratic voice as songwriter, singer, and band leader.
