Throughout his prolific career, Femi Kuti has stood as a powerful voice for justice, carrying forward the revolutionary Afrobeat legacy of using music as a tool for social change. Known for his powerful critiques of political corruption and social inequality, Femi's music blends funk, jazz, and highlife into a potent force.

A Femi Kuti live show is a vibrant, immersive experience, a direct portal to Lagos's New Africa Shrine, where to feel the raw energy of Afrobeat, pulsating rhythms, and Femi's commanding saxophone. His band, Positive Force, and dynamic dancers create a spectacle of movement and sound. It's a fusion of political passion and joyous celebration, mirroring the Shrine's legendary Sunday nights. The atmosphere is electric, a communal experience where music, dance, and activism converge, transporting you to the heart of Nigerian cultural resistance and celebration.

His last album, "Journey Through Life," marks a significant shift. While maintaining his commitment to political commentary, Femi delves into deeply personal reflections on family, life, and inner growth. This album is a departure, revealing a more introspective side of the artist.

Beginning his career in Fela's Egypt '80, Femi established his own band, Positive Force, in 1986, forging a unique Afrobeat style enriched with R&B, rock, and hip-hop. His lyrics consistently address power, oppression, and injustice, complemented by his activism with organizations like Global Citizen and UNICEF.
