From Africa With Fury: Rise is the name of the new album by Seun Kuti, set for release through Because Music on April 4.

He’s joined by his longtime collaborators Egypt 80, the group originally fronted by his father, afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, and co-produces with Brian Eno and John Reynolds.

“Brian Eno is ‘Brian Eno’ for a reason,” says Seun. “He has a great mind when it comes to music. He adds new dimensions to the sound. He showed me new ways of opening up the sound I’d never have thought of on my own. Not to downplay the work of John Reynolds, who is an incredible producer. I’m really glad I had them work on the album.”
