Made Kuti — Où écouter à la radio

Ọmọ́rìnmádé Aníkúlápó Kútì (born 26 September 1995) known professionally as Mádé Kuti, is a Nigerian afrobeat multi-instrumentalist, composer/arranger, artist/performer. The son of Femi Kuti and grandson of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, Mádé was raised in The New Afrika Shrine, surrounded by rhythm, resistance, and live sound.

He picked up the saxophone at age five and joined his father’s Positive Force band as a child—touring globally and performing at venues like Glastonbury and the Hollywood Bowl before the age of ten. Later, he trained at London’s Trinity Laban Conservatoire, where Fela once studied, mastering up to six instruments including saxophone, trumpet, bass, guitar, and Piano.

In 2021, Mádé released his debut album For(e)ward, a modern Afrobeat manifesto addressing issues like corruption, inequality, and police brutality. The album was packaged with his father’s Stop the Hate under the joint title Legacy+, earning the pair a Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album in 2022. On For(e)ward, Mádé played every instrument himself.

He formed his band, The Movement, that same year and headlined his first solo show at The Shrine on April 4, 2021. In 2024 he performed at Tanzania’s Sauti Za Busara Festival.

Following the release of singles like "Stand Tall and No More Wars", Kuti returned in 2025 with "I Won't Run Away" and "Life As We Know", the first two offerings from his upcoming studio album, Where Does Happiness Come From?, released in July.
