2019 release. Seun Kuti and Egypt 80 cut direct-to-disc session for Night Dreamer debut. Seun Kuti, youngest son of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, and leader of his father's Egypt 80 band, entered the Artone Studio in Haarlem, Holland, in 2019 to cut a Direct-to-Disc session in a single take. The first to be released on the Night Dreamer label, the session brought some of the foremost Afrobeat musicians in the world together, many of whom cut their teeth playing with Fela himself. Playing without the safety of multiple takes Seun and Egypt80 cut all four tracks (two per side) in a single take without rehearsal on the second day, improvising with all the focus and relaxation of a band in the midst of a world tour. A snapshot of a legendary outfit at the top of their game.
