Listen/Buy Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s new album ‘ Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head)’ HERE.
While on tour across Europe, the UK and Australia, Seun Kuti unleashes the live video for ‘Emi Aluta’, a key track from his new album ‘Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head)’ executive produced by Lenny Kravitz.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 are currently on tour, with upcoming dates in Italy, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, France, Monte Carlo, Belgium, United Kingdom and Australia. While on tour, afrobeat virtuoso Seun Kuti unleashes a new live video of the song ‘Emi Aluta’, featured on his album ‘Heavier Yet (Lays The Crownless Head)’ that hit the streets last October 4th via Record Kicks / Secretly Distribution. The video, filmed during the Brazilian leg of his tour by French director Vincent Moon at Galpão Ladeira das Artes in Rio de Janeiro, captures all the raw energy and rebellious spirit of the song, a hallmark of Seun Kuti & Egypt 80’s live performances. According to Seun, ‘Emi Aluta’ is “a song about struggle (Aluta means struggle) that pays homage to all the great revolutionaries”. On Seun Kuti’s new album ‘Heavier Yet’ the song is spiced by the featuring of Zambian singer, rapper and songwriter, Sampa The Great, called “one of best and most innovative lyricists of our time”.
