On June 3, 2026, “Na Dem”, the new single by Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 featuring Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) on guitar, will be released. The track is produced by Femi Koleoso of Ezra Collective, whose distinctive touch brings fresh energy to a song that has already captured global attention in its live form.

Originally never recorded, “Na Dem” went viral last year through performance clips shared by Coachella and fan-shot videos circulating online, quickly becoming a standout moment in Seun Kuti’s live shows. This official release reimagines the track with a powerful studio arrangement and the unmistakable guitar work of Tom Morello.

“I strongly wanted to collaborate with Tom Morello because he represents the ultimate expression of protest music,” said Seun Kuti. “Beyond any musical genre, we need artists like him. Just as my father did in the past and I do now, we need to convey messages that make listeners reflect.”

Seun Kuti, son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, has spent his career both preserving and evolving the Afrobeat tradition as leader of Egypt 80, his father’s legendary band. Across his career, he has released five studio albums, steadily building a reputation as one of the most vital voices in modern Afrobeat, known for his politically charged lyrics and electrifying performances. He is currently working on new music, signalling yet another evolution in his sound and message.

The release of “Na Dem” follows his critically acclaimed 2024 album Heavier Yet (Lay The Crownless Head), a bold and expansive project that further cemented his international reputation. The album featured collaborations with Damian Marley and Sampa the Great, while its deluxe edition included appearances from Pos (De La Soul), Adi Oasis, Kamasi Washington, and Alborosie, with production contributions from Lenny Kravitz. Supporting the album, Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 performed over 130 concerts in just 13 months, touring extensively across Australia, South America, the United States, and Europe.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 will embark on a new world tour beginning May 7, 2026, in Barcelona. The tour will travel through the Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand, before heading to the United States for two special performances this fall: My Life in Movement on October 9 in Los Angeles at The Regent Theater, and October 14 in New York at Webster Hall. UK dates TBC.

“Na Dem,” a staple of their live set for over a year, will feature prominently in the upcoming tour, now reintroduced in its newly recorded and fully realized form.
