Newen Afrobeat is a 13-piece Chilean orchestra that makes music inspired by the legacy of
the Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. With a particular Latin stamp, they unify the African
rhythms with a colourful and energetic staging, embedded in a deep social message that
talks about their roots and social movements in their territory. With a 10-year career and
four albums under their belt, they have performed on important stages such as the
Montreal International Jazz Festival, WOMEX and Felabration Lagos, becoming the most
played afrobeat artist in the world and a recognised exponent of the world music scene.
Newen Afrobeat is more than a simple orchestra, it is an experience of music, dance, and
social awareness.

After releasing “Newen Plays Fela”, EP which includes “Opposite People” -Afrobeat’s most
watched video worldwide-, Newen Afrobeat is back with a second volume of songs by Fela
Kuti featuring a new collaboration with Seun Kuti on “Zombie”, song considered by Times
Magazine on its 100 best songs in history list. A magnificent new sample of cultural
integration between Latin America and Africa.
