With all the so-so musicians spawned from legendary musical parents, we're certain there's a support group somewhere out there. But Femi Kuti wouldn't have to join; he seems to regard the legacy of his late, great father, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, as a torch to be carried and not a shadow to be escaped. Femi has honed the propulsive Afrobeat sound that his father invented, but he's also pushed to expand its boundaries, collaborating with Mos Def and Common. Most crucial for tonight's event, though, he's mastered the power of participatory live sets.
