Seun Kuti & Egypt 80

African Soul Rebels Special Tour 2011

Seun Kuti + Egypt 80 + Donso 

Son of the great Fela Kuti, arguably West Africa's greatest ever music figure, Seun has grown into a star in his own right whose saxophone playing rivals his father's while he adroitly adds his own quirks and flourishes along the way. Seun has been singing with Egypt 80 since he was nine.
