Legendary Afrobeat superstar Femi Kuti returns with a new album, Africa for Africa, on 12 April via Knitting Factory Records. Fittingly, given the album’s title, the record is something of a homecoming as the artist recorded the music in the Afrodisia/Decca studios in Lagos, Nigeria, the very same spot he made his first forays into recording with his late great father Fela Kuti. Today we have the pleasure of presenting the US online premiere of the first track, “Dem Bobo”.
Immediately following Africa for Africa‘s release, US and Canadian fans can catch Kuti and his ace band, the Positive Force, at a string of dates kicking off 19 April in Toronto and ending 14 May in Portland (full dates and tracklist after the jump).
