Seun Kuti & Egypt 80
at Fine Line

Afrobeat legends Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 have announced a North American tour for 2024, presented by Django Music. The tour will stop by the Fine Line, in Minneapolis, on July 26, 2024.

 

We saw the group at Rock the Garden in June 2015 and said, “How fitting on Father’s Day that the heir to the Afrobeat throne, Seun Kuti , led his father Fela’s band, Egypt 80, playing undoubtedly the highest energy hour of the weekend. The Nigerian group was the worldbeat entry to the festival and the first African band to grace its stage. Kuti and his fifteen-plus cohorts made their short time worth it with the tribal, jazz, funk, and rhythmic hybrid that his father pioneered.”

The Wildwoods
at 318 Café (Excelsior)

Nebraska’s The Wildwoods is out touring, as they prepare to write and record their fourth album. As part of the tour, they are stopping by the tiny city of Excelsior, in Minnesota, at 318 Café.

We haven’t been to that city in a very long time, but it’s a beautiful, small city, especially in the summer.

The trio features violinist Chloe Gose, guitarist Noah Gose, and bassist Andrew Vaggalis. They’ve been playing together for a decade.

Noah described the band: “On stage, our gentle harmonies weave together like threads within a rich tapestry of sound. Through our songs, inspired by the individuals we’ve crossed paths with and the landscapes we’ve traversed, we strive to engage the audience in a conversation, inviting them to connect with our narratives and immerse themselves in the vivid imagery our music evokes.”
