Words & Music from Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti chats to Gilles Peterson as he joins the musical dots - soul, hip-hop, house, Afro, Latin, dubstep, jazz and beyond.

Seun Kuti chats to Gilles Peterson. Son of Fela Kuti, and already a legend in his own right, Seun talks about his father, Bob Marley, his new album (which is produced by Brian Eno) & Arsenal FC. Plus, we preview some tracks from the new album.

There is also a selection of records that Gilles has found from recently clearing out his studio - from The Roots to Riton.

He also spins some fresh ones including Jacques Greene, Locussolus, Mic Newman and a Hudson Mohawke re-work of Jamie Woon.
