Weekend Videos: Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 – Rise

When your father is legendary Afrobeat originator Fela Kuti you could argue that making music is in your DNA. At least that’s how it seems for Seun Anikulapo Kuti who stepped up to front Egypt 80 aged just 14 after his father passed away.

With Brian Eno on board as one of the producers his latest record ‘From Mighty Africa With Fury: Rise‘ treads a similar path lyrically and emotionally to the one his father did and yet manages to add a 21st century appeal.

Watch the video for first single ‘Rise‘ and also check out the remix Swiss Beatz put out very recently.
