Red Hot + Riot

This album is a tribute to the great songs of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. It combines contemporary musicians from across the African Diaspora – Urban America, Brazil, Cuba, Europe and West Africa – including his son, Femi Kuti, and drummer, Tony Allen, along with a cross-section of some of the most creative musicians in the world.

The combinations are not just musical, but also symbolic of how people need to work together to achieve the positive life force embodied in Fela's music and spirit.
