Here's a much needed pick-me-up for us all.
Ms. Lauryn Hill recently played the Fela Kuti Tribute concert in Paris on September 8. During that show, she was joined onstage by Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 for a high-energy mash-up of "Lost Ones" with Fela's 1976 classic, "Zombie"—a cutting attack on Nigerian soldiers and the military.
Watch Ms. Hill kick things off with a renewed version of "Lost Ones" in the live video above. The band's gears shift into "Zombie" around a minute-and-a-half into the performance, when Seun comes out with his saxophone and tears the house down.
Lauryn Hill's added dates to her The MLH Caravan: A Diaspora Calling! Concert Series, during which she'll be joined by Seun & Egypt 80.
Ms. Hill's mentioned: “The MLH Caravan allows me to continue the theme of unity and celebration of the many facets of cultural and artistic beauty throughout the African diaspora while on tour this summer and fall. In these days of tension, tumult and transition, an exchange of this kind can yield direction, expression, understanding and empowerment as well as connection, self Love and appreciation that hopefully overflows into our respective communities.”
