African Shrine

For this recording, Femi Kuti has carefully selected some of the brightest stars of Afro-beat, an offering for an entranced crowd. Selected only, for in the temple of Shrine, only the people decide.

He unanimously chose some titles and rejected others, to keep only what enthralls him. Besides the classic "97" and a revival of Fela's famous "Water No Get Enemy", the CD features only new titles out of the Shrine cradle for the first time. After three years' work, Femi finally presents them through this fabulous recording and the accompanying world tour.

If he was to explain it to a newcomer, Sodi, the sound engineer of this outstanding venture, would speak of "Afro-urban" sounds: "First of all because it is very electric and then because it also refers to the Yoruba rhythms as demonstrated by the drums. It is the African tradition, enhanced by electricity and brass".
