Seun Kuti Interview - October 2007



Born in 1982, the youngest son of the great Nigerian Fela Anikulapo Kuti is well on his way to assuming the huge mantle of his father’s legacy. Seun Kuti has been performing on stage since he was nine, when he would open with his father’s band Egypt 80. The saxophonist-singer continues to play with this pioneering group and has modernised the Afrobeat style Fela invented in the Sixties. Like his half-brother Femi, with whom he has a bitter rivalry, he has done much to internationalise his father’s unique music style. In 2008 he released his debut album Many Things.

Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Afrobeat legend Fela, talks about his debut album Many Things, released in October. Recorded with Shrine veterans Egypt 80 and produced by Martin Meissonnier [Khaled, King Sunny Ade, Fela Kuti], Seun brings his own stamp to today’s funky sound of Lagos, saying ‘I want to make Afrobeat for my generation. Instead of ‘get up and fight,’ it’s going to be ‘get up and think’.
