Son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, released a hopeful, horn-fueled song, “Na Their Way Be That,” from his upcoming 10th LP, One People One World. “No one can do anything to please these people/ They will always be dissatisfied people,” the bandleader sings over chants and soulful sax lines.
In a statement, Kuti ded His Jazz Rootsescribed the song as “an easy explanation as to why some people act in a negative way … It’s just their nature, and it explains why they should be ignored.”
“Na Their Way Be That” is the singer’s second single from One People One World, out February 23rd via Knitting Factory Records
The whole project comes from a depth that Femi believes should inspire the younger generation in areas that will instigate social change positively. “I’m a father and I love my kids, so I want to give the younger generation a message of hope,” he said. “Despite all our problems, we can create greatness in our lives.”- Femi Kuti,
