Known for its deep influence in the country’s music history, the Afrikan Shrine, on Sunday, July 27, will play host to Afrobeat enthusiasts and fans of Grammy-nominated artiste, Omorinmade Anikulapo Kuti, popularly known as Made Kuti, as he unveils his highly anticipated second album, Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?.
 
The 13-track project features socially conscious songs such as Take It All In Before The Lights Go Out, I Won’t Run Away, Life As We Know It, Find My Way, Pray, Won Na Pa, Our Own, Wait and See, You Can’t Hide, Oya, My Voice, Story, and After The Tears Flow.
 
The album is coming three years after the release of his debut album, For(e)word, a modern Afrobeat manifesto addressing issues like corruption, inequality, and police brutality. Building on the success of For(e)word, Made continues to showcase his talent as a singer, songwriter, composer and multi-instrumentalist.
 
For(e)word, which was released in a joint album, Legacy+, alongside his father, Femi Kuti’s Stop the Hate in 2022, earned him his first Grammy nomination for ‘Best Global Music Album’ in 2022.
