Afrika Libre by Lady Yetunde
With the release of her groundbreaking new album, Afrika Libre (2022) Lady Yetunde presents a fresh and distinctive Afro-Latin fusion — a high-energy, danceable and joyous exploration of the African musical diaspora, grounded in a positive Afrocentric message.
Lady Yetunde has embarked on a new phase in her creative journey, taking greater artistic risks as she follows her passion for Cuban music back to its original roots in Africa. Incorporating diverse pan-African genres and styles such as highlife, Afrobeat and soukous with Western funk, R&B, and pop, Afrika Libre is inspired by influences such as Fela Kuti, Papa Wemba, Folli Ipupa, Peter Gabriel, James Brown, Youssou N'dour, Cheb Mami, Khaled, Angelique Kidjo, and King Sunny Ade.
