After an absence of four years, Femi delivered a tour de force in 2008 with Day By Day. His new album Africa For Africa has a very similar direction, except for one crucial difference. Day By Day was made in Paris, while this one was recorded in Lagos, in the historic Decca studio where his father Fela recorded some of his classics and where Femi began his career. And you can feel the energetic tension of the Nigerian megacity in every beat of this record, which features some of Femi’s most powerful compositions, such as ‘Politics In Africa’ and the incendiary ‘Now I See’. Femi attacks the African political elite for having no legitimate right to power and for their abuses of the people (‘Nobody Beg’, ‘Bad Government’). There’s a constant sense of urgency here, even on the slower songs, which smoulder with heat (as on the title track). The Kuti flame burns bright.
