Acclaimed Nigerian Afrobeat legend Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 has just shared a new powerful and irresistible single "Na Dem" featuring Rock & Roll and Metal Hall of Fame Inductee Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Prophets of Rage). The track is a new version of the song that went viral last year due to videos shared by Coachella and fervent fans across the globe.
With "Na Dem", Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 pens a song calling out injustice, shady politicians, greed and systemic abuse of power. Lyrics including, "Yeah yeah politicians / Same me from this / Humanity abusers," underline the urgency and frustration that fuel the track’s message. Musically, "Na Dem" is nothing short of electrifying, driven by blazing horns, invigorating percussion, and Seun Kuti’s charismatic vocal delivery that commands attention from the very first note. Tom Morello lends his unmistakable guitar work to the mix, injecting a passionate, rebellious edge that perfectly complements the song’s political fire. His contribution amplifies the track, creating a thrilling fusion of genres that is both fresh and purposeful. Produced by Femi Koleoso of Ezra Collective, the track balances polish with raw energy, creating an enticing, high-impact anthem.
Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 is currently on a world tour with dates in Australia and New Zealand, alongside Europe, before arriving for two special dates in the United States in the fall: My Life in Movement on October 9 in Los Angeles at The Regent Theater, and on October 14 in New York City at Webster Hall.
