"No-one was more ready to carry afrobeat’s roaring flame into the 2000s than Seun. He’s channelled Fela Kuti’s spirit seamlessly through the surviving Egypt 80 group AND ushered in revelatory sonic influences from hip-hop, dub, modern jazz, even a dash of punk vitriol. Amongst a sea of afrobeat imitators, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 are lone titans - like the Arkestra, they are walking miracles. "
