Fela Kuti: His legacy lives on in his son and grandson
The legendary activist and Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti, used his music to lament social injustices and political corruption in his native Nigeria. He has passed that legacy on to his son Femi and grandson, Made. The two have released their first two albums working together, and the impact of Fela鈥檚 musical as well as social influence is definitely present.
One track from the aptly named Legacy+ double-album, is 'P脿 P谩 P脿', which Femi says is meant to rail against dishonesty in Nigerian politics and politicians who fail to do their job and waste time.
