Fela Kuti and Femi Kuti in 1983
Afrobeat legend Femi Kuti has gone deep into his archives sand dug up a thirty-three year old photo of him and his father Fela Anikulapo Kuti singing on stage.
Actually Femi Kuti saw the picture on Twitter and had to share the photo on Instagram.  The picture was from a 1983 performance of Fela's song 'Just Like That'. "Just saw this picture on Twitter my father and me performing his song 'just like that' 1983 ,I used to leave my position at the back to come up front to sing the chorus with him. Scary Great times" wrote the four time Grammy award nominee on Instagram today (August 7).
