Description
Each Concert at Point of the Bluff Vineyards feels like a party, with world-class musical acts, a stellar view of Keuka Lake, and local craft beverages and food.
Femi Kuti grew up in Lagos, Nigeria and started playing saxophone in his father's band, Egypt 80, at age 15. His first record was released in 1995 by Tabu/Motown, and today, the six-time Grammy nominee presents dynamic shows and committed political messages from his iconic New Afrika Shrine in Lagos and throughout the world on many stages and venues. In 2021, he released the double album, Legacy+ on Partisan Records, which contains both his latest album "Stop The Hate,” and "For (e) ward,” the debut album from his eldest son, Made Kuti. Femi Kuti has performed the official song of the African Cup of Nations live from Cairo and appeared alongside Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran as well as recorded with Coldplay, electro music producer Robert Hood, and French Hip Hop band IAM.
