Homegrown Music Month rolls on. Tune in to 91.7 KXT to hear Baba Kuboye’s music today. And check back here tomorrow to see who’s in spotlight next.
Baba Kuboye
From: Dallas
Goes well with: Fela Kuti, Talking Heads
Why we picked him: Kuboye, who has been based in Dallas for most of the last decade, is descended from Afrobeat royalty: His parents, Fran and Tunde, co-founded Lagos’ landmark Jazz 38 club, and his grand-uncle is perhaps the world’s most widely recognized Afrobeat artist: Fela Kuti.
Fun fact: Kuboye is the founder of Down 4 Whateva Entertainment, the first minority-owned, independent Afrobeat label in the United States.
