incredible set at Sziget this year. just incredible

damn shame it's the village though. worthless kip.
i'd definitely go otherwise. thank fuck I saw them so recently otherwise i'd be really really tempted.


EDIT: actually are you sure that listing is for this year. can't check the site myself right now but Seun (or maybe it was Femi) was supposed to play the village in Oct a few years ago iirc.

King Sunny Ade - "Juju Music" is great too

Yes it is. 365 is my numba now!

Fela's boy Femi Kuti does a decent radio show on IF99Fm.

Think you can only pick it up in Liberty City though.

Yep I saw a poster when I was coming home on the bus and checked ticketmaster when i got home. Think it might have been femi playing a few years back
