SEUN KUTI & EGYPT 80 International Summer /Fall Tour Are Coming to Los Angeles!
July 13 at the LODGE ROOM in Los Angeles for 2 Shows!!
In 2011, Seun recorded From Africa with Fury: Rise, his first album for Knitting Factory Records. Co-produced by Brian Eno and John Reynolds, this live set
proved to be his breakthrough and landed on both Billboard and digital international charts. His latest record, Black Times, received a Grammy nomination
in 2018, and he joined Knitting Factory Management’s artist roster in March of 2021.
Today, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80—at full strength, still retaining three-quarters of the group that played, protested, and were arrested with his father—
have a reputation for playing multi-hour shows as heavy on group improvisation as they are on composition.
WHAT:
For the first time in years, legendary Afrobeat artist and Kuti family scion SEUN KUTI & EGYPT 80 are relentlessly touring the globe with their upcoming
US and European tour, hitting stops at major festivals and unique venues along the way. Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 will be performing classic anthems and songs
from their catalog—including the most recent Grammy-nominated album Black Times—alongside new material. While Seun has taken time off the road,
he has remained creatively active, collaborating and performing with Common and Black Thought—co-founder and MC of The Tonight Show house band
The Roots—on the song “When We Move.”
The song premiered to a worldwide audience for UN World Oceans Day last June and then on Jimmy Fallon’s
The Tonight Show in August. The latter of which featured Seun’s performance from The New Afrika Shrine in Lagos intercut with Common,
Black Thought, and The Roots on stage at Rockefeller Center in New York
WHO: About Seun:
The youngest son of visionary Fela Kuti, Seun has continued the family tradition of fusing music and politics into something transcendent. He started opening
for his dad at age nine and joined Egypt 80 before he was twelve. He assumed leadership of the band following his father’s passing in 1997 and has led it ever since.
Seun performs his father’s compositions with his own twists, digging deep into the seminal Afrobeat canon and various African traditions and cultures.
Like his parents and grandparents, Seun is an activist on the frontlines—a revolutionary in every sense of the word—who’s been named Pro-Tem Chairman of
Movement of the People, the political party launched by his father. With his weekly radio show, his mythical gigs at The New Afrika Shrine, and a
righteous social media presence, Seun is a towering figure in Nigeria and revered worldwide.
