Nigeria http://tpr.org en First Watch: Femi Kuti, 'The World Is Changing' http://tpr.org/post/first-watch-femi-kuti-world-changing "'<em><em>The World Is Changing'</em></em> is groove with a message." That quote, a pretty good summary of the music of Femi Kuti in just nine words, comes from Juan Gélas, the creative director of a new video for Kuti's new song. Femi Kuti is a saxophonist, trumpeter, keyboard player and singer and songwriter. The son of legendary afrobeat musician Fela Kuti, he carries on the tradition of mixing Nigerian beats along with jazz and a healthy dose of politics.
