“An outstanding slab of Nigerian Funk... Album of the Year” - Mojo
Cartell Music (formed recently by Jean-Francois Ponthieux in Melbourne) is releasing Seun Kuti’s first CD on Saturday February 14,2009, SEUN KUTI AND
FELA'S EGYPT 80, which The Independent named as one of the top ten best World Music Albums.
Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 will make an exclusive WOMADELAIDE appearance on March 7 in Botanic Park, Adelaide.
26-year-old saxophonist and vocalist Seun Kuti (younger brother of musical force Femi Kuti) started learning to play saxophone and piano when he was
eight. Aged 9 he launched his career as a backup singer with his legendary music legend father Fela Kuti and his band Egypt 80.
Fela Kuti (1938-1997) Nigerian singer, songwriter, instrumentalist, and political leader was a strong proponent of African nationalism and ethnic
identity. Fela’s Afrobeat was a pungent blend of funk and jazz with an African sensibility, reminiscent of James Brown but grittier.
Seun Kuti leads Fela’s original 20-piece group in an explosive dance party, featuring the Kuti family’s signature Afro-beat magic and social
consciousness laced with a contemporary mix of urban funk, soulful grooves and hip-hop rhythms.The Afrobeat magic is set in motion in Seun Kuti &
Egypt 80 while the delirious, unrelenting groove machine carries us away without missing a moment.
Nearly every track on this CD is against the corruption, ignorance, malady, sadness, pollution and the many others ill that ravage contemporary
Africa.With Seun, Egypt 80 is as explosive as they were under Fela, combining horns, keyboards, percussion, guitars and vocals in a sophisticated and
overpowering blend that is always insistent.
