Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 in Dakar

[sonofthedestroyer]

This son looks more like his dad than Femi Kuti

[Ilawine]

Seun is blessed with the same energy like his father, thanks for coming to Frankfurt this year Seun, loved the show, love this video and love the mosquitos. Bring them along next time to Frankfurt.

[ritaweis1]

He is a hot as his daddy. Nice boy! Reminds me a lot of Fela's sound.

[osunfunmi1]

A true son of his father, love him

[jumpingonglass]

he looks like the asian's people ancestors from Africa

[naijangel7]

SEUN is pronounced SHAY-uun

[redgbla]

Femi / Seun debat : agree on the commercialized part, my opinion is Femi is playing pop teinted of Afrobeat, Seun is playing modern Afrobeat (shorter than songs played by his father)... transe has a very important part in Afrobeat, on a 5 minuts track you cannot let the transe takes place... except that Femi is doing nice pop song ... but I agree for Afrobeat I listen to his father or his brother, or Antibalas, Budos etc... :)

[Auntkekebaby]

This line up is CRAZY! I love to watch Seun dance.

[techxdabruiser]

Damn... Manu Dibango ! Good to see Lekan"Baba Ani"Animashaun, baritone sax legend, now playing alto sax cause bari sax is too heavy to play, in his seventies still playing !! Go on ,Seun, do your thang, Bro !!!

[kawyca]

Mosquito song by Seun Kuti, in album "many things", Manu Dibango in a cameo appearance.

[Jeleosimi]

Wow Manu Dibango in a cameo appearance.....Still looking good....Wakafrika !!! Afrobeat no go die ooooo ..Seun doing his mosquito dance.Nice one !!! Thanks for sharing

[bahssi]

awsome man i've been looking for this song for a while, damn he looks a lot like his father which is a real africain hero to me as lumumba was.

[emmiohjr]

fantastic collaboration - reminds me a lot when i watch it. Femi's have conquered the fame, awesome work.

[blawww1]

I can't believe I will find this video, me and first gf watched it together 4 years ago..I love this.

[teamplayer11]

Whao..the great Manu and Seun on the same stage..."the one with death in his pocket" must be smiling in his grave....Fela lives on!!!

[souloperator]

My band opened up for him in Morrocco. He was sick but killed the show!! His music and dance moves are so fricken intelligent! I am also a better fan of his than Femi. But whatever, they are brothers there is no need to compete really. But it it will soon be Seun's time to shine! He's also a really sweet and genuine guy, that counts in my book.

[grandpasun]

Seun seems to capture Fela's Spirit more than Femi in my opinion.

[batourey]

Wow - Kuti and Manu on the same stage - These are the best.

[chucksfrancis]

it's natural, with time you will surely catch up. although FELA will always remains inreplaceable.

keep it up.

[salsagids]

I saw him play at the Afro-Latino festival in Bree, Belgium, last saturday 20 jun 2009. What a wonderful sound...

[sadmanbadmanGLADMAN]

i dont who this guy is but i like his style.

[xensema]

coming this summer in argeles sur mer pyrénées orientales france 3-4 jullet,manu dibango and seun kuti.waow!!!!!!sure there will be a true killin dance parties.afrobeat rules!!!!

[KamehamehaXII]

[fatburger100]

[mmeissonnier]

Mosquito song by Seun Kuti on the Seun Kuti album

[MRjevousencule]

@fatburger100

Manu Dibango au sax !!!

[Suchiibenchan]

Very good! Great sound, great song!

PLAY LOUD!!!!

[problemix]

muy bueno

[keithslum]

There's only one Tony Allen!

One.

[rodjos1000]

I have had the privilege of seeing fela growing up locally but in terms of the next generation, I believe Femi sounds grittier like his father while Seun has his father's moves better. Both put on a great show anyway.

[angeltoad]

do they ever perform together?

[adeart7]

really? to me, femi sounds more commercialized and americanized. i like seun better. he has the original sound.

[PatsBooks]

@adeart7

Afro Beat is is jazz(African American), Funk(African American), and Highlife. How could it be anything but Americanized?

[saxnviolinz]

just saw seun in barcelona... great...

[ogunyemiafolabi]

U can compare dis guy with Femi,d later is still better and exposed.Seun once said it dat comparing him with femi is like comparing femi with Fela.Are they COMPARABLE.Definetly NO.

[theBigTakeover]

Better than Femi, almost as good as Fela.

[aimlocked]

great feel!

[dukeboggie001]

Great show at the 930 Club

[sooaape]

i prefer seun's music too and tony allen is so smaaaaart :)) he's still the best!

[1URESAM]

i actually thought his show is even better thatn femi's.

[jujuman07]

Saw him today in NYC. Fela lives!

[1URESAM]

saw him last night in washington dc.

[Rsulu]

Seun Kuti and Manu Dibango on the same stage? what an awesome collaboration!!

[SoulTooSoul]

Deja vu! Seun Kuti embodies his late father, Fela Kuti. He sings and moves exactly like his father. It is good to see that he and Femi are carrying on their father's legacy of Afrobeat. I would love to see Seun & Egypt 80 in the states soon.

[connectiontotheworld]

Seun & Egypt 80 are hitting the states this summer!

[mmeissonnier]

Fela Alive....no question

[demoqua]

Seun is really impressive,he's even writting his own songs now,how i wish him and Seun where really close,they would make a great tag team

[iggypot]

do you mean femi? what happened between them...i never knew about seun till now and immediately wondered where femi was? nevertheless its amazing and wonderful to see yet another incarnation of the King.

[figocooldude]

THis is real music!!!

[rugged26]

Easy ... Fela Obasorro... Easy! it's just great ! I know this band! this is pure afrobeat! My broda just listen and groove! Oya.... Rugged26

[saanzacs]

That Tony Allen is one hell of a drummer! He shows here that he can still cook up the Afrobeat!

[kevinraz]

Gotta Love those stilt walking insects!

[funkypitt]
