Femi Kuti - No Place for My Dream

2013 collection from the Nigerian musician. The central aim of No Place for My Dream is getting back to the essence of Afrobeat, the music Fela pioneered in the late '60's. Since beginning his career as a teenager in his father (Fela Kuti)'s band, Femi has struck a delicate balance: carrying his own torch, especially the activist dimension, of Afrobeat while developing his own sound. Kuti crafts his music with the utmost care, practicing sax for six hours a day, testing each melody, beat, and groove in the club-meets-laboratory of the Shrine.
