Seun Kuti Essentials

Eager to join his father's band while he was still a teenager, the youngest son of revolutionary Afrobeat king Fela Kuti ended up not only leading Egypt 80 after his death, but also reviving popular Fela rhythms alongside new recordings. In true radical spirit, he tours the world delivering electrifying shows, where his alto sax meets a symphony of possessed horns, African percussion, jazz and funk grooves. Underscored by an unquestionable political identity, his studio output is no less fascinating. This playlist is here to prove it.
