Afrobeat singer, Seun Kuti who is the son of music legend Fela Anikulapo Kuti is the cover star for Guardian life Magazine’s Latest Issue.
Seun has created a niche for himself in the music world via his style of music and also the constant activism portrayed in his music.
The Awakening
The conviction I have today are borne from the foundation of my home but it is not because of the foundation of my home. I came to the awakening and consciousness independent of my father’s influence.
Everybody’s awakening is an independent journey.
The Path Of Activism
The new way of oppressing people that speak the truth today is exclusion… My message contradicts the message of the elites…Even now, Fela is not played often in the media. If Fela was around now, it would be difficult for his music to rise like it did because there is so much distraction.
The oppressors always look to perfect oppression. They practice a system of exclusion. Back in the days, they used to be crude but they have realised that it only makes you popular. So they own everything and exclude you from it.
It is not enough to say you love Africa, you need to know about Africa.
