about
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 return with a huge new single, ‘Black Times’, featuring the unmistakeable guitar work of special guest Carlos Santana. Based around an infectious mid-tempo Afrobeat groove, the track sees Seun calling for reflection and a collective focus on black history to energise and organise for the future: “We must pass the black knowledge to the future black God and Goddess”. ‘Black Times’ is the title track from his new album, which will be released on 2nd March 2018 on Strut.

Remembrance - wow... each part. Utterly, utterly perfect. Inspiring drums...
Strings Of Light pulls you in from the start, letting you know you're in for a great trip.
Joint 17 is another great track, smooth and funky and exploring around the edges of the groove.
Black Focus is a great opener and Yo Chavez is really nice.
Lowrider... mmm, the theme is bit retro for me, which is fitting - and brilliant playing, of course.
