Nigerian saxophonist, vocalist and 鈥淎frobeat warrior鈥� Seun Kuti is the youngest son of the legendary Fela Kuti.
Following Fela Kuti鈥檚 death in 1997, Seun was initially criticised as being 鈥渁rrogant鈥� for fronting his father鈥檚 band Egypt 80 at the age of 14. Seun hasn鈥檛 looked back though and has since forged his own inimitable brand of Afrobeat with topical lyrics and contemporary influences giving it a modern twist.
With his new critically acclaimed album A Long Way To The Beginning out now on Knitting Factory Records and 鈥淔ELA LIVES鈥� tattooed across his back, Seun declares: 鈥淭his is the beginning of the reign of Afrobeat music.鈥�
Building on the success of a brilliant 2009 Park Stage performance, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 return to Glastonbury to bring their message of 鈥渃hange in Africa鈥� to the West Holts Stage.
