FEMI KUTI
A fusion of political passion and exuberant celebration
Saturday, April 4, 2026

Throughout his career, Femi Kuti has positioned himself as a powerful voice for justice, continuing the revolutionary Afrobeat legacy of using music as a tool for social change. Known for his sharp critique of political corruption and social inequality, Femi blends funk, jazz, and highlife into a powerful musical force.
A live Femi Kuti concert is a vibrant, immersive experience: a direct gateway to Lagos' New Africa Shrine, where you feel the raw energy of Afrobeat, pulsating rhythms, and Femi's compelling saxophone.

His band Positive Force and dynamic dancers combine to create a spectacle of movement and sound. It's a fusion of political passion and exuberant celebration, a reflection of the legendary Sunday evenings at the Shrine. The atmosphere is electric: a collective experience where music, dance, and activism converge, transporting you to the heart of Nigerian cultural resistance and celebration.

His latest album, Journey Through Life , marks a clear shift. While Femi remains true to his political commitment, he delves deeper into personal reflections on family, life, and inner growth. The album reveals a more introspective side of the artist.

Femi began his career in Fela's band Egypt '80 and formed his own band, Positive Force, in 1986, with which he developed a unique Afrobeat style enriched with R&B, rock, and hip-hop influences. His lyrics consistently address themes of power, oppression, and injustice, reinforced by his activism with organizations like Global Citizen and UNICEF.
