Femi Kuti is coming to the Amsterdam Paradiso-Noord music hall for the 3d edition of Africadelic, a collaboration with Ticket to the Tropics! Like his father, the creator of Afrobeat Fela Kuti, son Femi is a stubborn and independent artist presenting a mix of traditional Nigerian rhythms, easy groove and high life combined with a flavour of American soul, funk and R&B. Politics are never hard to find in the lyrics. Femi and his band Positive Force continue Fela’s movement adding punk and hiphop to an already rich repertoire.
And there is more!
The ‘State of the Continent’ with pitches and debate (with Ruiter Janssen, creator of the Apartheid Revisited application being one of the guests!), Soweto Soul with DJ Eddy de Clercq, Nossa Kizomba and others.
And on May 5th Africadelic Night Owls meets Africadelic Manoo. From 11.55 PM until 5 AM at Supperclub Cruise. Tickets here.
