Femi Kuti; Bombino

@ Prospect Park

Brooklyn, NY - July 23, 2016

Afrobeat returned to NYC with a rapturous performance by Femi Kuti whose work (and whose father's work and whose brother's work) became known to me one night in a 2007 performance by his brother Seun at S.O.B.'s. And look who showed up. Seun.

Bombino's sound, well serviced by a Dan Auerbach produced record a few years ago, was a ripe opener.
