Was a beautiful day at the bowl! My Guest and I missed Raphael Saddiq, but saw Santigold and Femi. Santigolds set was cool, was not my favorite part of the show though. Femi was Ridiculous was my first time seeing him. Would love to catch him at a smaller venue next time he is in LA, just so I can hear the rhythm section a little more.

Femi was just awesome. He knows how to engage the crowd while remaining an ambassador for the injustice and shortcomings of this world. Speaking about the problems of the world especially the African continent and relating them to the people of the western world has always been one of his great strengths. Lyrics and vibes deserve a top A rating!

I saw Femi Kuti back in 2000 and he knocked me out with his musicianship and energy. Twelve years later he's still got it. Keep in mind that he's no spring chicken anymore but that doesn't mean he's not as energetic as he used to be. The other thing that makes his shows so incredible is the diverse crowd. From the young black hipsters to the older white retirees all grooving together, the crowd is a testament to the power of Femi and his backing musicians in delivering a powerful entertainment experience.

This was an EXCELLENT show! The opening act, Uhuru Afrika was really high energy and the drummer was interactive with the crowd which was really fun.

Femi and his band though*whew* PHENOMENAL! Their energy and sound really touched your soul and I'm pretty sure everyone there danced for the 2+ hours they performed. Femi of course showed his expertise on the sax, trumpet and keyboard which was great. The dancers were GORGEOUS and really tied the whole performance together and was a nice reminder of the style and feel of the late Fela.

I will definitely see him again if he comes to Boston, or wherever I happen to be living in the future. It will be very hard for any performer to top this show, personally. If he's coming to your city, GO SEE HIM! You will not regret it!

Favorite moment: The song, Bang, Bang, Bang is a favorite and the crowd loved it. @

Opening act(s): The opening act Uhuru Africa was not my cup of tea. Too much heavy bass and too long. the drummer was good, but I don't get the artistry in mixers/DJs. @

In his usual style, Femi Kuti brought his big band to the Paradise in fine style. He has energy and enthusiasm. Plus his band is very tight and well rehearsed. Not to be missed are the 2 backup singers/dancers. It is hard to take your eyes off of them.
He limited his preaching to a minimum and that is a plus.
The percussionist is excellent and the horns were great.

Amazing night. Femi and his band, Positive Force, are just that, a positive force.
We danced the whole time and will be getting tickets every-time he is in my area.

Thank you Femi!

I am a huge Fela fan. I hadn't even listened to Fema but figured I would check it out, hoping the fruit wouldn't fall tooo far from the tree. Fema rocked it. The music just gets under your skin and makes you shake your booty. The musicians are so so good as are the dancers/back up singers. The ONLY way I would have enjoyed this more is if Fema would have played one of his father's songs.

Perspective. After all the concerts I have seen in the last year, Thursday night I got a huge dose of it. Seeing a man so passionate about his music is a beautiful thing. Plus, it makes you want to dance and dance we did. Femi Kuti & The Positive Force swept over the crowd with exactly that. Music about struggle and passion with hope always shining through. It was an amazing energy from a man that I can now say I respect. Gonna be chasing this one for a while.

Femi and the Positive Force are truly carrying the Afro-beat torch. The energy of this show is unparalleled. Driving rhythms, powerful horns, & Femi's own incredible playing and conducting of this band are incredible.

Would even have been better if there was an opening act or 2nd artist to complement the night..
In 2009 when i had first seen Femi Kuti, it was a 2-artist night. King Sunny Ade and Femi Kuti.

I figured Femi would go on stage (like every other headliner) at 10ish. We arrived at 10:15, listened to a couple of songs, then Femi thanked the crowd and bid us all goodnight. WHAT?!?!? When did he start playing? What happened to the opener? It would be great if HOB would post the set times. My husband has bad knees so we can't get there when the doors open and stand around until the band starts.
