Femi Kuti
Africa For Africa (CD)

WRASS282

This record may be less carefully produced than his previous albums. However this was not unintentional, but rather a conscious artistic choice; not to polish the finishing touches and keep this afrobeat rough in its purest form..... Aggressive is the word that Femi uses most when talking about the album. This Punk energy you hear is no surprise spiced up the African way! Here, the words echo the music perfectly. “Bad Government ”. Never has Femi been so vindictive. Or his words so concise. “ Nobody Beg ”: « But never has my people's condition been so serious» he justifies. As did his idols from the 60s, Coltrane, Parker, Gillespie, his militant spirit sometimes carries a jazzy jab that doesn't however lose any of its intensity. « Politics in Africa ». More than just a simple musician, the 48-year old composer has become a true African Ambassador, in its most honorable sense.
