'Music finds its own way': Mádé Kuti on perpetuating his family's Afrobeat tradition

The grandson of the pioneer of Afrobeat Fela Kuti, and the son of African musical royalty Femi Kuti, has spoken to FRANCE 24 about how he is carrying on the family tradition. Mádé Kuti is now redefining Afrobeat, whilst at the same time remaining true to his family history and the genre's political, musical and cultural roots. This Monday evening, he is in concert in Paris at La Maroquinerie, and he also has a new album out entitled "Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?". He spoke to us in Perspective.
