Celtic Connections proudly presents Femi Kuti & The Positive Force and Support

Femi Kuti, renowned for his energetic performances and powerful political messages, continues captivating audiences worldwide, whether at the iconic New Afrika Shrine in Lagos or global stages. In 2021, he released the acclaimed double album Legacy+ on Partisan Records, featuring his album Stop the Hate and his son Made Kuti’s debut For(e)ward. 

Known for his unique Afrobeat sound, Stop the Hate showcases Femi's political convictions, with standout track "PaPaPa" earning a 2022 Grammy nomination. Femi's 51-minute Guinness World Record for the longest-held saxophone note in 2017 is just one example of his boundless energy. In 2021, he participated in Global Citizen's 24-hour global concert from the New Afrika Shrine. Femi is also in demand for collaborations, working with artists like Coldplay, Robert Hood, and IAM. In 2023, Femi and his band, The Positive Force, continue touring, offering vibrant shows that celebrate African culture and music.
