Singer, composer and bandleader Femi Kuti takes Afro-beat - a blend of traditional Nigerian drum patterns; the smooth, positive groove of highlife (the first modern African music to gain worldwide recognition); a scorching horn section that brought James Brown's stuttering beat back home and re-Africanized it; and American soul, funk and R&B - to a new creative level. Femi's father, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, created Afro-beat and took his mesmerizing new hybrid from the poverty stricken neighborhoods of Lagos to stages and arenas all over the world. Today Femi is ensuring the music's continued vitality as one of the most powerful sounds to ever arise from the African Motherland adding his own innovations.
