This is new for Femi Kuti and Oga Doctor from Journey Through Life.

doToday's Touch of the Familiar is an Antonio Carlos Jobim classic utilizing Oscar Peterson's performance remixed by Pit Baumgartner of Defaz.

I feel like Victor E-R-E-M like Mary.

The music we played this hour included Truth Don't Die by Femi Kuti, What Rough Beast by Burnt Sugar, The Orchestra Chamber, Prologue by Kamasi Washington, and our theme music for the show is Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix.

The voices you heard in our On the Ground segment were Awa Dabo, United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, addressing the Human Rights Council during its 63rd session in Geneva on September 26, 2026.

Before her, Kari Siegenthaler, legal intern for the ACLU Human Rights Program, speaking during the same session on September 29th.

Shane Kuti has never danced with a dance artist.

Neither has Femi Kuti.

His father never danced with a dance artist.

Up until we came to Madi.

So the infrastructure alone to get the seat design, the accommodation, transport, all those logistics seamless, we have a lot of work to do in that because the real, there's, uh, there's an opportunity to make money from tours.

When you think about people like, um, uh, Femi Kuti or the Sony Ade, King Sunny Ade has not released-- when was the last time you heard King Sunny Ade's released an album? You probably didn't hear about that, but he's, he's doing shows every day.

Every, every big event in Nigeria, you hear King Sunny Ade, you hear Femi Kuti, you hear all these big names.

So but where are the venues where people can actually gather? And that's where the money is made.

So we need to fix infrastructure.

But we have to fix it.

Michael Jackson's kids are going to be rich forever because his music makes money to the day they die.

The same thing with Bob Marley's family, Femi Kuti's family.

Afro.

But, uh, in Grand Theft Auto IV they had an International Funk FM, uh, that was, uh, hosted by Femi Kuti.

Ooh.

Ooh.

you're giving it to me you're fulfilling my need but the ability that you can give it is coming from that space where you're more in charge you know so i but anyways back to music here i mean there is a lot of other music i listen to a lot of african music from congo from senegal from nigeria And a lot of the music is part of movements and human rights, because that's how a lot of the African nations have been.

And so there's Fela Kuti, Femi Kuti the son, Yusu Undur, Papa Wembao, Saif Keefer, all of these sort of folks.

I got exposed to a lot of them by my late brother, who's been a huge inspiration.

And a huge, I mean, brilliant person I learned from.

This is Lagos Talks 91.3 FM.

So earlier on, uh, earlier on in the morning, someone had requested for Femi Kuti's, um, Dem Bo Bo.

You know? We're gonna play that for a moment.

And, um, Dem...

Seun also claimed witnesses were tortured and bribed, and then comes the wildest alleged revenge story ever.

According to Seun, Fela and Femi Kuti drove a truck full of shit to smear the Abiola compound overnight.

[laughs] I'm sorry, what?

Literal shit.
