Attendees got a first-hand feel of the album’s energy through live performances and an immersive musical experience. The event wasn’t just about listening—it was a full celebration of Afrobeat, with Made bringing his band and signature passion to the stage. Dancers, vibrant lights, and a charged crowd made the night unforgettable.
This marks Made Kuti’s first major solo project since his 2022 debut For(e)word, which was part of the joint Legacy+ album with his father, Femi Kuti. That project earned him a Grammy nomination, and expectations have been high for his follow-up.
According to his management team, FK Management, the listening party was designed to showcase not just new music but Made’s evolving artistry and deep cultural roots. Fans came away impressed by the sound and substance of Chapter 1, a project that continues the Kuti family legacy while carving out a bold path of its own.
