Summary: <p>Nigerian musician Femi Kuti famously hasn’t listened to another artist’s music in over a decade. It’s tempting to think that’s because he’s the son of one of Nigeria’s greatest musical minds, the late superstar Fela Kuti—the weight of history, expectations, etc. But Femi says he keeps his ears quiet as a way to get in touch with his own deepest creative impulses. Femi Kuti's latest release is a 2021 double-album, with his son, Made Kuti, called <em>Legacy+, </em>and Femi’s half,<em> Legacy+, </em><em>Stop the Hate</em>, "honors Fela in a traditionally fun, sharply political, and affirming way." (<a href="https://femikuti.bandcamp.com/album/legacy-stop-the-hate" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>) (This session was recorded in 2016.)</p> <p>Set list: "Day by Day", "One People, One World", "Nothing to Show For It"</p>
