Seun Kuti & Fela's Egypt 80 - Fire Dance

Here's Seun Kuti, son of Nigeria's legendary Fela Kuti performing 'Fire Dance' from his first release, 2008's Many Things . I had the great pleasure of witnessing and filming this incredible show in Toronto on July 2, 2008.

Amazing video Spacemetalizer ! and thanks for the response ! I shall post your video on a few places they like this kind of stuff !

Seems that one of the backing vocals (acutally named Anikulapo Kuti) was missing ??

Anyway thanks for filming and sharing this ... you've made my day :)

Thank you so much for your kind words! The original dvd quality is far superior too.

Cheers,

Hey wiener, you gave this a one star rating without even leaving a comment? Way to justify.

Just went to see Seun with The Egypt eighty last night in Dublin.Can easily say he is the best live performer on this planet,like his Father was before him.Pure VooDoo!Saw them about four years ago in London also,and Tony Allen was special guest!English crowds cannot compete with the lunacy of an Irish Dancin Melee though.We were told not to dance in London.Weird.

[djalternegro]

actually femi looks way more like fela.

[Polloshole]

This is more Fela kind, right? Not saying Femi is bad, but Seun is more like his father. The look, the way he appears with no shirt, the dance.. just an obs...

[RWessel1]

it would be so hard for me to film something like this! I'd buy me a stand and dance LOL. Thanks for posting this!

[MyTeelee]

Wow he looks just like Fela. Whatever happened to Fela's other son that was out in the 90s?

[AZIZAHMUSIC]

[YOOTUBEDOTCOM]

I met him at womad in australia and he is supremely beautiful...he looks like a jaguar. He had the crowd in a dance trance and we never wanted it to end.
