Presentation of: CONCERT - SEUN KUTI & EGYPT 80 + IREKE

SEUN KUTI
Seun Kuti, the youngest son of Afrobeat icon Fela Kuti, has dedicated himself to preserving and developing his father's legacy by fronting the group Egypt 80. Born in 1983, Seun took an early interest in Fela's music and began performing live at the age of nine. After Fela's death in 1997, Seun took over as leader of Egypt 80 at just 14. He juggled between the group, school and African football during his teenage years, before devoting himself entirely to music at the age of 18.

Seun incorporates Fela's compositions and his own tracks into his live shows, believing it important that his father's recorded works be heard. He enriched Afrobeat with influences from various African traditions. His debut album, "Seun Kuti & Fela's Egypt 80" (2008), was well received, as was "From Africa with Fury: Rise" (2011), co-produced by Brian Eno.

IREKE
In October 2022, IREKE opened the evening in support of Groundation, where they presented their album Tropikadelic, just released by Underdog Records. Their performance made a big impression. The duo, made up of Julien Gervaix and Damien Tesson, return this time accompanied by two female singers.

Agnès Hélène, with her flugelhorn and bewitching voice, is an artist you have already discovered on stage with IREKE. Her track "Petit à Petit", a real call to dance, continues to be a big hit. Her latest single, "Dans mon regard", is a deeper, more introspective exploration.

For the first time, you will also have the opportunity to discover Nayel Hoxo, an internationally renowned singer and rapper from Benin, who has been accompanying BIM for a number of years. With her powerful voice and undeniable charisma, Nayel Hoxo brings a new dimension to IREKE's music, combining her Beninese heritage with the group's Afro-funk and tropical grooves, all sprinkled with a touch of dub and electro. It's a promise!
