Nigeria: Seun Kuti on football, Fela and Afrobeat

Seun Kuti is the youngest son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, who put an indelible stamp on Africa’s music and politics. Seun has become a musical star in his own right and is furthering his father’s political mission with his own firebrand style. In this interview Seun discusses his relationship with Fela in his reclusive later life, what he’s trying to achieve with new record Black Times and the secret to why he chose not to be a footballer (and it wasn’t a lack of confidence, trust us).
