More about: Made Kuti

Made Kuti makes his debut today, taking the torch that has been passed to him from his father Femi Kuti, and grandfather Fela Kuti. The 23 year-old has shared his first ever single 'Free Your Mind' and announces his signing to Partisan Records.

Having grown up at the New Afrika Shrine in Lagos and played instruments in his father's band, Made has inherited the family talent. 'Free Your Mind' is a hedonistic - and in places, dark - afrobeat party-starter.

Made plays all of the instruments you hear on the track:

"‘Free Your Mind’ is very much inspired by the teachings I received from my father and his efforts to make me understand exactly what the black man and woman’s situation is in Nigeria, Africa, and around the world" Kuti said.

Made has been vocal about the plight of Nigerians in the face of the brutal SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) in recent days. 

A debut Made Kuti album is due out in 2021.
