Concerts are important to the artistry of musicians who want to connect directly to their fans and in recent years, Nigerian artistes have been discovering the significance of live shows.
As Fela‘s son, Femi Kuti was introduced to the art of touring and live performances from an early age and as a result, concerts are an integral part of his career. Since he went solo in the 1980’s, he has been on stage thousands of times and even images bear witness to the greatness of the Afrobeat legend.
As he prepares for his Lagos concert, A Night With Femi Kuti this September, here are ten photos that show him in the ‘spirit’. Click here to buy tickets on Netshop.
