Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, the eldest son of late afrobeat pioneer, Fela Kuti, and a grandchild of a political campaigner, women's rights activist and traditional aristocrat, Late Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, is taking time off music for a humanitarian work in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camps in Adamawa State.

According to Ceoafrica, Kuti, tweeted on his twitter handle, @femiakuti on Tuesday, “Off to Adamawa to continue my humanitarian work with the IRC in the IDP camps”.

For a very long time, Femi had been using music to inspire, change and motivate African people and like his father, Fela, he had shown strong commitment to social and political causes in his career.

He was born on June 16, 1962 in London, United Kingdom and raised in Lagos, he began his musical career started when he began playing in his father’s band, “Egypt 80”.

In 1986, he started his own band, `Positive Force’ and began establishing himself as an artist, independent of his father’s massive legacy.

His international career began in 1988 when he was invited by the French Cultural Centre in Lagos and Christian Mousset to perform at the Festival `d’Angoulême’ in France, the New Morning Club in Parish and the Moers Festival in Germany.

His first record `Femi Kuti’ was released in 1995 by Tabu/Motown, followed four years later by `Shoki Shoki’ by Barclay/Polygram/Fontana MCA.
