- To many Nigerians, the late Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is regarded as the greatest musician to ever grace a stage and is seen as the pioneer of musical activism
- Fela’s son, Seun Kuti, also known as Big Bird, in many respects has tried to sustain and carry on the legacy of his great father both in music and social activism, over the years
- Big Bird recently turned 40, and in celebration of the Grammy-nominated singer, let’s take a look at the journey so far as he follows his father’s footsteps
Turning 40 years old in many societies is seen as the official crossing over to elderliness. Nigerian Afrobeat singer and activist, Seun Kuti on January 11, 2023, crossed over, and it was quite a celebration of life, growth, success, and recognition of a great legacy.
Seun Kuti is one of the sons of the great Nigerian Afrobeat pioneer and legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. He was born into greatness, a responsibility he probably never asked for, but rose to the occasion.
