<p>New Opus!!</p><p>Music Man for Africa--a portrait of Leo Sarksisian who produced an enormously popular African music show for the Voice of America covering the continent from Liberia starting in 1965. Leo was a self-taught ethnomusicologist who roamed Africa with his recording equipment. And he served as a sort of &#x27;ambassador&#x27; finding himself in the newly independent countries of Africa like Ghana and Guinea, assisting their radio stations.</p><p><a href="https://soundcloud.com/shortwaveology/music-man-for-africa-sunday" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="soundcloud.com/shortwaveology/music-man-for-africa-sunday"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">soundcloud.com/shortwaveology/</span><span class="invisible">music-man-for-africa-sunday</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/africa/" rel="tag">#Africa</a> <a href="/tags/african/" rel="tag">#african</a> music</p>

<p>Fela Kuti was back in the headlines earlier this year when he was posthumously awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys. Femi and his siblings accepted the award on behalf of their father, making Fela Kuti the first African artist to receive the honor.</p><p>“It has sealed my father’s legacy in the most prestigious awards in the world,” he tells NL Times. His father’s influence on global music and political expression remains profound, and Femi continues to build on that foundation. Not only has he pushed the genre forward while staying true to his artistic origins, his son, Mádé Kuti, is also continuing the legacy of social commentary.</p><p>Femi Kuti and The Positive Force begin the Journey Through Life tour with a run of four dates in the Netherlands: Arnhem on April 2, Alkmaar on April 3, The Hague on April 4, and Maastricht on April 6. Tickets range from 28 to 36 euros, and are available via the respective venues’ websites. The musicians will then continue their tour across Germany, France, Belgium, and the UK.</p><p><a href="https://nltimes.nl/2026/03/30/femi-kuti-kicks-european-tour-netherlands-week" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="nltimes.nl/2026/03/30/femi-kuti-kicks-european-tour-netherlands-week"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">nltimes.nl/2026/03/30/femi-kut</span><span class="invisible">i-kicks-european-tour-netherlands-week</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/femikuti/" rel="tag">#FemiKuti</a> <a href="/tags/felakuti/" rel="tag">#FelaKuti</a> <a href="/tags/africa/" rel="tag">#Africa</a> <a href="/tags/african/" rel="tag">#african</a> <a href="/tags/music/" rel="tag">#music</a> <a href="/tags/germany/" rel="tag">#germany</a> <a href="/tags/france/" rel="tag">#france</a> <a href="/tags/belgium/" rel="tag">#belgium</a> <a href="/tags/uk/" rel="tag">#UK</a> <a href="/tags/netherlands/" rel="tag">#netherlands</a></p>
