#MUSICIANSFORPALESTINE PODCAST - 14 Seun Kuti
Update: 2022-11-07
Description
On this edition of the #MusiciansForPalestine podcast we hear from musician and activist Seun Kuti. In this exchange we hear about the local struggles in Nigeria to overcome systemic police violence as manifested through the EndSARS campaign. Kuti also speaks about the ways that power structures within many African contexts are neo-colonial, linked to past western imperialist empires, but also to the African power structures on a local level that often were linked to elite structures that benefited from the transatlantic slave trade. Kuti also speaks about the climate justice movement and reframing our understanding of the climate movement as part of a broader struggle to decolonize systems of governance, economics and power relations globally.
Seun is one of the hundreds of musicians that joined the #MusiciansForPalestine appeal in Sept. 2022.
