"'The
World Is Changing' 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. Juan Gélas says, "Femi Kuti continues to be a
leading protest artist out of modern Africa and his voice talks to us all."
