Fela was and remains a titan as far as African music is concerned and he’s earned his stripes for several first-rate deliveries in Nigeria and around the world. We love his success story.
He dared to swim upstream more often than not, even when it meant putting his life on the line. He will never be forgotten in world music history. But while he is no more, another of his flesh and blood has risen and the exact same DNA is in him.
Since 1997 when Fela died, then only 14 years, Seun has been in the vanguard of what is best described as a renaissance of the legendary Afrobeat music typical of the late icon and human rights activist.
Now 33, he continues in this off the beaten track which is widely considered political and perceived as seemingly risky, to say the least. Seun never fails to speak his mind on issues regarding how much the government of the day has fared.
In several interviews, he has been vocal about key issues. His ability to stand up to the powers that be in his interviews, where other musicians won’t dare address the real issues, helps put his name indelibly in history books.
