Date: 6/28/2007
Time: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM
Park location: Jay Pritzker Pavilion
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nigeria’s Seun Kuti is a great exponent of Afro Beat, the explosive political music
invented by his father, Fela Kuti, in the 1970s. Seun plays with Egypt 80, his father’s
original band. The 22-piece band boasts punching brass and rocking bass sections
with a big band jazz/Afro funk sound complimented by a pulsating rhythm and
incisive political messages. US Debut

Some should dj and some should promote, but others need to just DANCE.
