The A.V. Club has tickets to give away for a show at the Metro featuring DJ Warp and Femi Kuti with his band, The Positive Force, on April 30. For fans who are 18 and over, send an e-mail to ochicago@theonion.com for a chance to win tickets. Please include “Femi Kuti” in the subject line.

Rather than abandon the Afrobeat genre, Femi Kuti created The Positive Force to develop his own style after his uncle took control of his father’s band. The move vaulted him out of the shadow of his father, who was deemed the pioneer of the Afrobeat sound.



DJ Warp has a drastically different taste in music from the jazzy and funky feel of Afrobeat. DJ Warp, also known as Brian Keigher, produced events like the India-themed night called Bombay Beatbox as a past resident DJ at Sonotheque.
