Baba Kuboye
Baba Kuboye: A Global Artist Bridging Cultures
Baba Kuboye, who is part of the Grammy® nominated contemporary blues album The Fury by Antonio Vegara, is one of the most vibrant figures in contemporary Afrobeat and has captivated global audiences with his innovative fusion of music, activism, and cultural tradition. As the son of prominent Afro Jazz musicians and grand-nephew of the iconic Fela Kuti, the creator of Afrobeat, Baba carries a profound connection to Africa’s rich musical roots, which define his distinctive artistic vision.
Raised in a deeply musical home in Lagos, Nigeria, Baba Kuboye grew up immersed in creativity and artistic influence. His parents, renowned Afro Jazz musicians, shaped his childhood with regular performances at their resident jazz club, Jazz 38. This environment allowed Baba to observe and actively participate in music from a young age, performing alongside them and honing his skills as a musician. Adding to this rich family heritage is his relationship with Fela Kuti, his grand-uncle and the legendary creator of Afrobeat. This connection not only inspired Baba to explore the roots of the genre but also instilled in his music a commitment to authenticity, social consciousness, and the power of cultural protest.
