Seun to play with Femi at Roskilde

Stuck in heaps of Cumbia at the moment, but I just saw an interesting detail in the Spilleplan for the Roskilde Festival.




Yes, it is Femi Kuti & Positive Force, same stage and same time as his younger brother Seun and his (and before that their father's) band Egypt 80. The two have often been portraid as, if not enemies then at least rivals. That may have of course have been exaggerations, or simply a well established literary convention one could easily slip into, but it's still a concert not to miss. Apart from the Kuti brothers performing together, there are also the practical problems (and artistic possibilities) of two 15 man afro beat bands sharing one stage.
