Nigerian singer Femi Kuti performs on the Miles Davis Hall stage during the 45th Montreux Jazz Festival, in Montreux, Switzerland, Thursday, July 14, 2011. The driving rhythms of Kuti's message follow that of his famous father Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, who created the synthesis of pop and jazz fueling Afrobeat and served as one of the staunchest critics of military rule in oil-rich Nigeria.
