Seun Kuti

Seun Kuti impresses me because he carries an enormous inheritance without hiding behind it. As the youngest son of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti, he leads his father's old band Egypt 80 and channels that legacy into his own voice. Born in Lagos, he plays saxophone while railing against injustice, the same combative spirit his father was famous for. That name must be a heavy thing to bear, yet he wears it as a responsibility rather than a crown. I see him as a torchbearer carrying Afrobeat's mix of celebration and protest from Nigeria to the world.
