Seun Kuti is a musician from Nigeria. He is the youngest son of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, who started Afrobeat music. Seun recently shared his respect for his late father.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti was a famous Afrobeat singer and an activist who spoke for people’s rights. He passed away in 1997.
Seun talks about how his father’s influence still affects his life today. Seun says everything he does in music is because of his dad.
“Every year since you left us, you have influenced our lives more and more,” Seun shared.
“Every time I play music or dance, it shows how much I love you. I miss you and I play my saxophone just for you. Dad, I want to keep your legacy alive, and I am committed to your mission. I love you so much, more than I can say with words,” Seun expressed with heartfelt emotions.
For example, when Seun plays music, he thinks about his dad and the things he learned from him. He plays songs to honor his father’s memory, and he wants to keep sharing his father’s message with the world.
In this way, Seun hopes to make sure lots of people still remember his dad and understand the special kind of music he created.
