Nigerian Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti takes a look inward – The Moore County News-Press

A performer in a blue outfit stands with arms outstretched on stage, while four dancers in yellow costumes stand behind him, evoking the vibrant energy of Nigerian Afrobeat made famous by Femi Kuti.

Sat comfortably in a large chair at the New Afrika Shrine, his family’s legendary Nigerian music venue, Femi Kuti was surrounded by history.

The concert hall is an homage to his father Fela Kuti’s original Shrine, which had also been located in the northern outskirts of Lagos before its demise.
