Not that he showed any signs of slowing down after all these years – Femi Kuti is a masterful performer, giving his all for the duration of his set.
Waist deep in an extended take on "Corruption Na Stealing," Femi Kuti hushed his backing band's bombast to the meditative rumble of the downbeat rhythms that push the track along, and addressed the audience.
Powered by international guitar virtuoso Omara Bombino Moctar, the band blended Nigerian music and lyrics about politics and suffering in Africa with rock and blues.
The evening began with talented Tiggs Da Author, South Londoner and songwriter of Tanzanian origins, who warmed up the stage with a selection of his fresh, swinging hits.
