Seun Kuti - Long Way to the Beginning

A powerhouse of politically charged Afrobeat, "Long Way to the Beginning" is a bold statement from Seun Kuti, carrying forward the revolutionary spirit of his father, Fela Kuti.

Backed by the legendary Egypt 80, the album fuses complex polyrhythms, punchy horn arrangements, and hypnotic grooves, all wrapped in razor-sharp social commentary. Produced by Grammy-winning jazz musician Robert Glasper, the record modernizes classic Afrobeat with touches of funk, jazz, and hip-hop energy. Tracks like "IMF" and "African Airways" highlight Seun’s fiery vocal delivery and relentless energy, making this album a must-listen for fans of politically conscious, rhythm-heavy music.
