Femi Kuti and the Positive force band are in North America for a 5 week tour to promote the new album, Femi Kuti – The Definitive Collection. This double cd release, draws the best of his self-titled debut album, Shoki Shoki and Fight to Win. It also includes Water No Get Enemy from the Red Hot + Riot album as well as a slew of the best remixes of his work. If you want to get up to speed quickly on Femi’s music, this is the best way to do it. While you’re at it, be sure to pick up the new(ish) cd + dvd, Live at the Shrine.
