Get ready to rock! The genial Femi Kuti takes up residence in Lyon for an evening of afrogroove at the Nuits de Fourvière. We’d expect nothing less from this leading figure in Afrobeat.

A worthy heir to his father Fela Kuti, Femi Kuti continues to carry high the flame of Afrobeat, a music that constantly navigates between jazz and African rhythms, but also between sensuality, self-abandonment and diatribes full of the rage of the rebellious. It’s enough to make our man one of the greatest ambassadors of today’s Nigerian scene.

With The Positive Force since 1987, Femi Kuti has kept his Afrobeat heritage alive by integrating influences from the Caribbean and reggae. New colors are added to those of an intrinsically mixed music.

Femi Kuti’s discography spans over thirty years, from No Cause for Alarm? in 1989 to Stop the Hate in 2021. A bottomless pit of groovy nuggets that this veritable icon will be bringing to the Nuits de Fourvière.
