Nigerian singer and saxophonist Seun Kuti gave Thursday, in Constantine (431-km east of Algiers), a concert, an anthem for Africa and its youth, as part of the International Jazz Festival.
Son of famous musician Fela Kuti, founder of afrobeat music, Seun took the audience on a trip to Lagos, with African percussion sounds and his performance of songs from his latest album "Long Way to Beginning."
Seun Kuti, conducting the group Egypt 80, created by his father, played saxophone before signing "Black women," a song that praises African beauty and deals with the return to the roots.
He also singed "Higher Consciousness," which contains messages to the young calling them to "reinvent" Africa.
Perpetuating Afrobeat tradition, the singer performs "Ohun Aiye," a song that tackles Africa and its ills, urging for change.
Speaking at the end of the show, Seun stressed that for him, politics and music "are one and the same."
