In this edition of our arts24 music show, Jennifer Ben Brahim talks to Nigerian singer-songwriter Keziah Jones as he releases his first record in over a decade: “Alive & Kicking”. The album is an autobiographical journey from Lagos to London to Paris; a musical résumé of his career spanning more than 30 years. The “blufunk” singer’s record features some of his biggest hits like “Beautiful Emilie”, as well as two original songs. It was recorded in Lagos at Femi Kuti’s studio, a symbolic decision for an artist who cites singer Kuti as one of his biggest inspirations. Keziah shares with us how he was one of the last people to ever interview the Afrobeat legend. He also talks about his love affair with France and his recent debut art exhibition at Paris’s Eric Dupont gallery.
