  • There's only one Tony Allen!

    One.

  • 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.

  • This son looks more like his dad than Femi Kuti

  • 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.

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

  • A true son of his father, love him

  • he looks like the asian's people ancestors from Africa

  • SEUN is pronounced SHAY-uun

  • 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... :)

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

  • 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 !!!

  • @adeart7

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