Fourth Annual Afrofunk Festival Returns to San Francisco in 2008

There is no mistaking Kuti’s appearance. He walks on stage with a commanding visage. In contrast to the kelly green tunics and pajama bottoms worn by the band, Kuti wears a long, black tunic with a butterfly blue geometric pattern. His stern countenance coul...
