Femi Kuti @ Lincoln Center (more by Chris La Putt)
Afrobeat royalty will majestically parade through North America in April/May, as Femi Kuti & The Positive Force will hit the road for a string of dates. NYC hits the jackpot with a double-dose: Apr 26 at Highline Ballroom and Apr 27 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Tickets just went on sale for both (at the links)
Femi Kuti released his latest LP, Africa for Africa, late last year overseas via Wrasse Records. It gets a U.S. release on April 12 via Knitting Factory Records who have also been responsible for a series of new Fela releases. Download the first single above.
Femi was recently filmed for a “Take Away Show.” You can watch him perform the new disc’s title track and another song, with all tour dates, below…
