Afrobeat legend, Femi Kuti and his son, Made, are set to co-headline a music concert tagged “Father & Son: The Experience”.
“Father & Son: The Experience” marks the first time that Femi and Made will team up for a major concert.
Announcing this in Lagos on Saturday, Funke Kuti, Made’s mother who is also the CEO FK Management, the company behind the show, said this was coming many weeks after the father and son’s Grammy award nomination outing for their joint album, ‘Legacy+’.
According to her, Femi and Made are preparing for the joint concert with a promise to leave fans asking for more.
She said, “It has become a usual feature in recent times to see a feature of Made on a Femi Kuti set while the latter is on tour, and Femi has also featured in all of Made’s concerts in and outside the New Afrika Shrine.
“This concert will be their first co-headlined show since their joint Grammy Nominations.
“A show that seeks to bring to the home of Afrobeat the old and the newly converted followers of Afrobeat.”
She added that the concert was scheduled to hold at the new Afrika Shrine on June 5, 2022.
Made Kuti is the grandson of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti, while his father, Femi, is the first son of the late Afrobeat icon.
Made has been performing alongside his father since he was a young boy but began featuring at his father’s performances after completing his education at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, London.
He has gone ahead to release his debut album, “For(e)word” in February 2021 alongside his father’s “Stop the Hate” album to make up the Grammy-nominated album, ‘Legacy+’.
