Mary Anne is joined by Seun Kuti for a special 3 Minute Epiphany for Father's Day.

Seun Kuti talks about the role that his dad, the legendary afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, played in his life, both as a person and as a musician.

After Fela's passing in 1997, Seun, then 14 years old, took the role of lead singer in Egpyt 80, and proudly continues to perform with the group to this day.

Expect to hear tunes from Egypt 80's back catalogue, plus artists close to both Fela and Seun, including Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney and James Brown.
