The youngest son of afro-beat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, and now leader of his father’s ensemble group, Egypt 80, Seun Kuti is as incensed by injustice as his father ever was. His take on the afro-beat sound honors the revolutionaries who have gone before and rallies the torchbearers to come, working with producers like Brian Eno and Robert Glasper to create albums that speak to African politics, identity, culture, spirituality and socio-economic injustice. A divisive figure in his native Nigeria, Kuti uses music to speak truth to power, and push for a global conversation about what it means to be human. His fourth album as the leader of Egypt 80, _Black Times_, was released on Strut in the spring of 2018.
