Must-See Music Pick! From the Music Editors: View Music Picks 
We know, it's much cooler nowadays to praise his younger brother, Seun, for faithfully carrying on the Afrobeat genre their father, Fela, created. But while Femi may have a different, more modern take on the blend of American jazz and funk with traditional West African music, his music is just as danceable (and political). And we'd like to see the Ravinia crowd up and dancing a little more often. (Ben Rubenstein)
