More About

Olafela Olafemi Anikulapo Kuti (Femi for short) is the spitting image of his late father, Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who recently became the subject of a Broadway musical. And while we never had the chance to see Fela onstage, we suspect that Femi's concerts are about as close as we can get to that experience. His shows feature exalted saxophone playing, furious rump-shaking from his female dancers, and his own lean, muscular, and often shirtless body dripping with the sweat of furious Afrofunk. The good kind of funk.
