Femi Kuti – Shoki Shoki
Album
Femi Kuti modernised his father's heritage on this kinetic 1998 breakthrough. While remaining fiercely dedicated to long, horn-driven grooves, Femi quickened the tempo and tightened the arrangements for a new generation of clubbers. Bang Bang Bang and Truth Don Die showcase his blistering soprano saxophone leads and an agile rhythm section that bridges classic Lagos funk with late-nineties club energy.
