FEMI KUTI & POSITIVE FORCE with SANTIGOLD AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL

Straight from his controversial Lagos nightclub, Nigerian Afro-beat superstar Femi Kuti will perform his politically charged jazz and funk sounds for picnicking Angelinos at the Hollywood Bowl. The oldest son of Fela Kuti, Nigeria’s Public Enemy No. 1, Femi keeps the high energy radical flames alive…“Afrobeat emanating from the Kuti family is above all else a music of combat.” On a less charged but equally hot note, Santigold will be opening the show with her sensual 80s/New Wave/James Brown-inspired songs.
