Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 play a free show tonight at the Pritzker Pavillion, located in Millennium Park. Seun is the youngest son of Nigeria's own Fela Kuti, arguably one of the most revolutionary musicians of the 20th century. Egypt 80 was Fela's backing band, and is now fronted by Seun. They helped forge the style of music known as afrobeat, and influenced countless musicians from James Brown to Brian Eno. According to Seun Kuti's myspace page, here is what you can expect from their live show:

It is hard to imagine that the leader, able to emulate his father’s songs and style with such grace, is a mere 24 years old and his sister, Motunrayo Kuti, still one of the most vibrant dancers on stage. Bearing his Dad’s looks, Seun is a great saxophonist, an activist and groovewriter. He promises a serious funk mix of new album material and Fela classics which won’t let you stand still. The band is a power-house of explosive dance grooves, the hookiest basslines, big spectacle and politicised energy. Much of the magic of their live shows derives from the energetic exchange between at least 18 musicians and dancers. It's a full-on, funk-happy sound that'll take you to the edge and back

The show begins at 6:30pm. Be certain to bring your best dance moves.
