Femi Kuti is the son of the famous Afrobeat musician, Fela Kuti. He has carved his own international success, even garnering a Grammy nomination. His music style is close to Afrobeat as well and triumphes in concert and live-band situations. He led his father's band once and formed his own called the Positive force. He sings about politics just like his father and has a performance house called the 'Shrine' in Nigeria.

Olufela Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti, popularly known as Femi Kuti is an award-winning Nigerian musician and the oldest son of legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.

Femi was born in London on 16 June 1962 to Fela and Remi Kuti and grew up in the former Nigerian capital, Lagos. His mother soon left his father, taking Femi to live with her. In 1977, though, Femi chose to move in with his father. Femi eventually became a member of his father's band.

Like his father, Femi has shown a strong commitment to social and political causes throughout his career, but he differs from his father in his religious views.
