Afrobeat royalty Femi Kuti and his 16 piece strong band, The Positive Force are set to bring THE BAKERY to life with a very special show.
Returning after Womadelaide performances in 2007, Femi Kuti brings a rich lineage to the stage as son of Fela Kuti; whose awareness is at an all time high thanks to the Broadway production Fela! based on his life and music.
The eldest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, Femi was born in London and grew up in the former Nigerian capital, Lagos. In 1977 Femi chose to move in with his father and eventually became a member of his father's band. Like his father, Femi has shown a strong commitment to social and political causes throughout his career.
He created his own band Positive Force in late 80s and in 2001, Femi collaborated on his album Fight to Win with a number of U.S. musicians, such as Common, Mos Def, and Jaguar Wright.
