Fela Kuti’s son Femi Kuti and grandson Made Kuti have announced their new joint double album Legacy + with two new songs. Set to be released February 5, 2021 via Partisan, Legacy + features Femi’s album Stop the Hate and his son Made’s album For(e)ward. Both records were produced by Sodi Marciszewer, who worked on Fela’s last six albums. Check out Made Kuti’s “Your Enemy” and the video for Femi Kuti’s “Pà Pá Pà” below.
Much like Femi, who got his start playing in Fela’s Egypt 80 band in 1979, Made cut his teeth as a child touring with his father, playing bass and saxophone in his band Positive Force. Now, Made plays bass, alto saxophone, and percussion on Stop the Hate and is responsible for all the instrumentation on his own For(e)ward.
