Femi Kuti – Pà Pá Pà
Nigerian Afrobeats legend, Femi Kuti returns with a new single titled “Pà Pá Pà”, ahead of his collaborative project “Legacy +” album with Made Kuti. The terms ‘Pà Pá Pà‘ is a common slang in Nigeria that describes doing things quickly. Femi Kuti also asked the government to fix the Nation as soon as possible without wasting time. Moreover, the 18-tracks project, “Legacy +” album is divided into two sections with 10-tracks for Femi Kuti and 8-tracks for Made Kuti (Femi’s grandson). The LP, “Legacy +” will be available next year. ‘Femi’s album, Stop The Hate, radiates the unique Afrobeat sound that he has forged throughout his long career, affirming the sharply political conviction that his father would’ve claimed in the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s. Made’s album, For(e)ward, is a m...
Made in Nigeria: The Grandson of Fela Kuti Upholds His Family’s Afrobeat Message
“A self-centered way of life will bring all of us down in the end,” Made Kuti sighs on “Different Streets,” the saddest funky track to come out in 2020. The song [a cut off his forthcoming solo album, For(e)ward] starts off on an invigorating note, with an Afrobeat rhythm driven by a pulsing riff. Kuti delivers a freeform alto sax solo and lays down thick layers of drums, playing all the instruments himself. But when he sings, the Nigerian musician sounds defeated. “We must now understand just how scary it is that we are facing the same problems from the ’70s,” he murmurs during a mid-song monologue, his voice low in the mix as he echoes the frustrations of his late, great grandfather, Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
