Femi Kuti spoke to Billboard and confessed a sort of boredom with the music genre pioneered by his late father, Fela Anipolapo Kuti and is ‘trying everything possible with technology’, he said. IN 2014, He hopes to have found a new direction for his music – he would be mixing it with rap and also predicts, “I might go classical very soon.”
Also hopes “in four years to develop another kind of sound with the trumpet”. Femi argues that change has always been an essential part of his musical makeup. However, Political and socially conscious focus of his music would not change and doesn’t intend to sing love stories or about broken heart.
Femi acknowledges the impact of the FELA! broadway musical with more ears open to Afrobeat now. “a lot of producers of hip-hop are great fans of Afrobeat, so we never know what will develop, musically.”, he added.
