Listening to Femi Kuti & his 25 year old son Made on their album Legacy + , that came out earlier this year. Good not great

None of the Kuti kids has ever done anything that's impressed me. Most of it just slides in one ear and out the other.

Seun has made some great records imo, Many Things is my fave

For me a lot of it is the production/engineering, and that holds true for nearly all modern afrobeat. It's too clean-sounding, the drums in particular.

I've had a blast seeing Femi live, as a substitute for Fela who I'll never get to see. But have never had much use for his albums
