Femi Kuti "Femi Kuti" (1995)
Femi was the son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti and played in his band
for a time. Femi started his own band 'the Positive Force'.
This self-titeld album was his first solo album and was released on Motown's Tabu label.
It's long drawn out Afro-beat jams with Femi alternatively on vocals or
saxophone. A lot of it is probably a bit 'too' drawn out for me, but I
enjoy the funkiness of "Nawa" and "No Shame", not to mention the brief yet crazy intro to "Nawa" that sounds like a high velocity smashing together of Afro-beat and ska.
