SYL Retro Pick - Traitors Of Africa by Femi Kuti
Olufela Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti (born 16 June 1962) popularly known as Femi Kuti, is a Nigerian musician and the oldest son of afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.
Like his father, Femi has shown a strong commitment to social and political causes throughout his career, but he differs from his father in his religious views.
He created his own band Positive Force in late 80s with Dele Sosimi (Gbedu Resurrection), formal key-board player of Fela Anikulapo Kuti. His international career began in 1988 when he was invited by the French Cultural Centre in Lagos and Christian Mousset to perform at Festival d'Angoulême (France), New Morning Club in Paris and Moers Festival in Germany.
Femi Kuti was nominated for the second time for a grammy award in 2010 in the world music category proving he is a positive force to reckon with in African and world music.

SYL Song Pick - Take A Minute by K'naan
Take A Minute - K'naan
"Who is K'naan? He's a Somalian-Canadian rapper that sings with his conscious. Like Bob Marley, his lyrical poetry expresses struggle and redemption. Except K'naan brings a contemporary beat and sounds better than most current artists in his genre. This is the kind of rap I want listen to. Enjoy the music of the summer!"
