Love this writer, also citing the difference between a musician and a singer

SEUN KUTI ON STAGE AT LEKKI

He was barely 9 !

Read what a writer wrote about SEUN KUTI:

It is highly hilarious if you want to diss Seun Kuti, and you say he's an unknown artiste, who has not achieved anything except living on his father's name and that he's not a successful musician.

First, please I am not dabbling into the political matter that caused the fracas between Seun and Peter of P-Square...their politics is non of my business. My grouse is about the fact that Seun's standing as a musician is being questioned.

When it comes to naming real musicians in Nigeria. Please, follow me carefully and note my choice of words...I said Musician! When you talk of musicians in Nigeria today, Seun's name would be in the first 3, and they are not up to 8.

Again, I repeat, I said musician. I did not say singers. Anyone can sing, but not everyone can be a musician. Seun did not only play music, he studied music at the Liverpool Institute of Performing Arts. He's a "companion" of LIPA. He's a multi-instrumentalist and sound technologist. He's versatile in Saxophone and Piano and a prolific music writer, composer and producer.

Now, talk of any iconic music venue all over the world, Seun has performed there with the band he inherited from his father, Fela. I don't think some people know what it takes for a young man in his 20s to start to lead a band full of men all over 50 and even into their 60s & 70s. This is at least a 25 man band that has performed with Seun in every continent of the world and in world's major music festivals.

Just last week, I was watching Seun and the Egypt 80 band's performance at the Nobel Prize Award in Oslo, Norway in 2008 to a predominantly white audience. Singers don't get invited to perform at such iconic international ceremony. It must be a musician who knows his onions and his musicianship is top notch.

Please, don't because of petty politics throw one of Nigeria's best export into the mud. Egbe isu koniyan....

I don't agree with Seun's politics and his approach as it concerns how we salvage Nigeria, but I will not agree his art and his craft to be rubbished based on cancel culture induced by unnecessary online political fisticuffs.

Brilliant composition!

I duff my hat

We shall not labour in vain.

imagine 'do me, i do you,' noisemaker who cannot play a single musical instrument and who's entire style was stolen from Usher Raymon, insulting a multi-instrument playing, Grammy nominated musician like Seun?

Femi Kuti is right: Only Zombies are Obidient.

I did not steal awilo locomba song, I actually credited him for writing the song - Ayra starr reveals
