Egypt 80

Egypt 80 is the Nigerian Afrobeat band that recorded and performed with Fela Kuti. After his death in 1997, his son Seun Kuti took over as singer, saxophonist and bandleader, continuing its blend of interlocking rhythms, horns and political songs. Its recordings span Fela’s albums and later Seun-led releases such as Heavier Yet (Lays the Crownless Head).
