We are back on tonight with a fantastic guest DJ from NYC and a listening party for a brand new Afrobeat classic!

FEMI KUTI
LISTENING PARTY
9-10pm / giveaways! Not content to merely follow in his famous father, Fela Kuti’s footsteps, Femi Kuti continues to expand his musical palette with his latest studio release, Day By Day, a hybrid of Afro-pop, jazz and urban influences. The album has been a long time coming: seven years since his last studio album Fight To Win and four years since the live Africa Shrine, on which he recorded early versions of three of the songs on this new album. On November 18th, Day by Day was released on American shores by leading independent label Downtown Records’ newly launched imprint, Mercer Street . The label, Mercer Street , was created as a vibrant outlet for eclectic adult-oriented and world music artists.
