Hi there!!
I am not being very good at updating you all but… guess I did get a life!! 😉 Well I had one before but now there is more than me in there so less space for things like blog updating…
Anyway here I am again!
The kulturfestival was really good! I have seen a few bands with drums only before so I was only 75% impressed by the Japanese drummers but Seun Kuti was totalueber fantastic as my dear Isabel would say! Seun Kuti obviously loves his butt since he kept on touching it while dancing. Well I must agree that he did have a really good one! So did the 2 waving girls who strangely enough turned their back to us pretty much during the whole show… for the pleasure of course of all men (and many women) in the audience who could admire better that way the tremors running through their mid-body… I thought Kuti reminded me of someone else but it is no wonder! He is the son of Fela whose full name is Fela Kuti!

Seun started on stage with his dad when he was 9 and kept going. His dad died in 97 and the 12 years old Kuti took over the great band. At 22 now he is a fully grown song writter, singer and stage man! Brilliant concert with fantastic musicians and great dancers!
Listen and watch him here: http://www.myspace.com/seunkuti
apparently there are loads of Kutis around: I guess Femi Kuti whose space has on link on Seun’s must be some brother of some sort!
