Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 have a new LP, A Long Way To The Beginning, coming May 27, 2014. Check out the video for IMF below. The record follows From Africa With Fury: Rise. Kuti is also heading out on an all too brief tour of the USA (dates below including a stop at Bonnaroo).
The new LP includes guest appearances by Nneka, Blitz the Ambassador and M-1 (of dead prez).
Kuti's message is revolutionary and he is a worthy successor to his late father, Fela. Some might have seen it as odd he took over his father's band but the results are difficult to argue with. His work stands on its own.
