Seun Kuti first took to the stage with his father's Egypt 80 group when he was nine years old. Today, he's the one fronting the large band, carrying on the tradition of Fela's politically aware brand of Afrobeat. Seun's spitfire vocals and Egypt 80's well-oiled rhythms are a treat; expect Central Park to be packed for this one. Hip-hop icon (and early DJ innovator) Afrika Bambaataa opens, dropping old-school action after a sure-to-be stunner set by legendary Jamaican toaster U-Roy and local NYC dubters Love Trio.
