Lauryn Hill unleashes a fierce performance of her track "Lost Ones" mixed with Fela Kuti's "Zombie" in a new live video filmed during a Paris concert in September.
The Paris performance was part of a Fela Kuti tribute, though Hill has been touring for much of the year and has added additional dates to her MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling! Concert Series.Joined by Kuti's son, Seun Kuti, and the Afrobeat legend's former band, Egypt 80, the unique mashup of Hill's Miseducation cut and Kuti's 1976 classic begins at a fever pitch and hardly lets up for nearly seven minutes.
After opening with an overhauled, big band rendition of "Lost Ones," Hill continues to speed up her steady rocking verses into a breathless torrent as the band deftly transitions into "Zombie." The MC hardly misses a beat as she keeps pace with the frenetic guitar and riotous horns, while Seun Kuti unleashes a blazing saxophone solo.
Hill resumes the trek tonight, November 15th, in San Diego, while the expanded slate includes an additional show in Miami, December 11th, as well as 2017 stops in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Nashville and Atlanta. Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 will join Hill on several of the remaining MLH Caravan dates.
