There are legacies in music, and Femi Kuti (the oldest son of legendary Afrobeat innovator Fela Kuti) has been carrying one in his genre for nearly two decades. His last studio album, 2001’s Fight to Win featured appearances by Mos Def and Common, bringing the attention of a fresh audience to the Afrobeat sound. Seven years and a couple of live albums later, we get Day by Day, returning to a sound more faithful to the origins of the style, featuring a Femi who has picked up a couple of new instruments. The album is out today. Pick it up here.
