LateRooms.com - Femi Kuti to Play in Bilbao

    BILBAO, SPAIN, May 07, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bilbao is set to welcome famed Nigerian musician Femi Kuti and his band later this month.

On May 25th, the group will take the stage at the Kafe Antzokia and deliver tracks from Kuti's extensive back catalogue.

He has been nominated a number of times for Grammy awards and collaborated with established acts such as Mos Def and Common.

However, Kuti's voice may also be familiar to many people as the host of the IF99 radio station on the hit videogame Grand Theft Auto IV.

The Lagos-born multi-instrumentalist will begin the Bilbao show at 21:00 local time, with tickets priced at EUR23 (GBP20.70) plus booking fees in advance, or EUR28 on the door.

Femi's father Fela Kuti will be better known to some music enthusiasts and the pair actually played together for a while before Femi formed his own band in the 1980s.

Fela was a pioneer of the afrobeat scene and a revered figure in human rights activism. His son shares much of his passion for social justice.
