Femi Kuti is the oldest son of the Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, though naturally it is not only through his father that Femi has become a well-known and highly acclaimed musician, composer and civil rights activist. Femi Kuti is a major artist who has brought his spiritual heritage into the modern day and moulded it into a 21st-century form. Femi founded his own band Positive Force in 1980, and from 1988 gradually emerged as a vital figure on the international scene. He has received four Grammy nominations to date, has worked alongside the multi-award-winning Common, collaborated with Coldplay on the song Arabesque, and even earned his own radio channel in the Grand Theft Auto IV video game. Femi Kuti’s concerts are always an occasion to both celebrate world music and take a stand in favour of social justice.
