SEUN KUTI & EGYPT 80
Seun Kuti is the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. He has spent most of his life preserving and extending his father's political and musical legacy as the leader of his father's former band Egypt 80.
Kuti showed interest in his father's music from the age of five, and at nine began opening Fela's shows, singing a select group of songs with Egypt 80 before his dad took the stage. As a developing saxophonist and percussionist, he entered the formal ranks of the band before he was 12. Fela passed in 1997, and Seun, in fulfillment of his father's wishes, assumed the mantle as head of Egypt 80; he has run it ever since.
Along the way, Seun began to add his own twist to the music, digging deep into various African traditions to reflect the continent's struggles and cultures.
Seun has toured globally and played for enthusiastically receptive audiences in Detroit, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Paris, London, Tokyo, and especially Lagos. Seun Kuti & Egypt 80.
The music has never deviated from the overtly political. Kuti continues to state that "Fela will always be number one," despite the fact that he was shifting and transforming Afrobeat with his own growing, evolving musical signature.
"As the son of Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, Seun Kuti carries a torch for infectious grooves and political songwriting."

POLLITO BOOGALOO
Pollito Boogaloo (meaning little dancing chicken) plays Afro-Colombian roots music drawing from classic ’60s cumbia, vallenato and puya while mixing in a little dub and some Haitian voodoo too!
DJ JOHN WARR (AFROBASE)
AfroBase is an afro-tropical exploration of new and old, rare and scratchy, dance and funk friendly tracks with pre-release previews, brand new releases, and long lost vinyl, and silver discs from across the African continent and its diaspora.
