Femi Anikulapo Kuti is an award winning Nigerian musician, who is a songwriter, instrumentalist and plays saxophone, trumpet, keyboards, along with being a vocalist. He is the eldest son of legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti. Born in London on 16 June 1962 , Femi Kuti grew up in the former Nigerian capital Lagos.Like his father, Femi has shown a strong commitment to social and political causes throughout his career, but unlike his father he differs in his religious views. In 2001, Femi collaborated with a number of US musicians such as Common, Mos Def, and Jaguar Wright, on his Fight to Win album.
For many years, Femi Kuti was playing in his father's band before eventually rising to super stardom following his father's death in the late '90s. Femi's relation as his son is both a blessing and a curse as only few artists can match their father's legacy of music and influence. At the same time, it's never been difficult for Femi to garner press or attention, and MCA went out of its way to push his career with ridiculous amounts of publicity. Yet on the other hand, no matter his individual accomplishments, Femi will forever be known as Fela's son. Femi practiced the same style of Afro-beat as his father, which helped him to introduce the percussive blend of jazz and funk music to the international masses dawn in the mid-'90s. He inherited his father's same sense of political activism. After his father's death in 1997, Femi suddenly found himself the subject of immense attention. He responded by signing with MCA and embarking on his solo career beginning with Shoki Shoki. He won tremendous critical appreciation around the world and began concentrated his efforts to break into the U.S. mainstream in the very neat year.
Artist Biography - Femi Kuti
After an interval of a year, Femi marked his returned with his second album, Fight to Win, and toured the States with Jane's Addiction in an effort to crossover to a more mainstream audience. Part of this crossover effort involved, aligning himself closer to hip-hop and its gigantic audience. Fight to Win featured a number of respected rap artists like Mos Def and Common. As per the expectations, the album was once again celebrated by the critics, though western masses seemed rather indifferent to both the album and Femi's concert trek with Jane's Addiction.
In 2001 "Fight to Win" continues to evolve this development of a democratization and an openness in afrobeat instigated by Femi Kuti since his first album. Consisting of Nigerian jazz-funk rhythms with a touch of hip-hop, Femi in alliance with American rappers such as Mos Def and Common, and soul singer Jaguar Wright. Together they created an album of universal critical acclaim.
After spending three years, between studio work and touring, Femi Kuti was desperately in search of change and finally returned to the roots of a musical and political movement of which he is, as of now, the unique symbol and only representative. He decided to invest his success in the reconstruction of a new Shrine, a musical temple, erected, displaced and rebuilt by Fela following repeated attacks against the old ones by a corrupt military power. Just as his father before him, Femi Kuti and his "Positive Force" continue to make of this place a space in which music is the weapon of the future.
