Femi Kuti @ Stubb's, ACL Ticket Drop Thursday

Award-winning afro-beat singer, composer and band leader Femi Kuti along with his band, Positive Force, will shower Stubb’s outside with Nigerian grooves, American funk and soothing jazz. Son of the legendary musician Fela Kuti, Femi has taken many traditions from his father, such as his struggle to effect positive social and political change in his Nigerian homeland. Also, Femi is working to keep their musical lineage alive. His teenage son plays alto sax in his group, which is exactly what he did for his father. But, whether for a taste of African culture or the beat there’s sure to be some dancing in the Texas heat. You've got a chance to watch his ACL taping on Sunday, courtesy ACL:

Austin City Limits will be taping a performance by Kuti on Sunday, July 15, at 8 p.m. Space Available tickets will be distributed at noon on Thursday, July 12, at KLRU-TV. KLRU is located on the University of Texas Campus in Communications Building B at the corner of Dean Keeton and Guadalupe. The free tickets will be given out on a first-come first-served basis. Each person will only receive two tickets and a ticket does not guarantee admission to the taping. Supplies are limited.
