Afrobeat maestro Made Kuti promotes introspection on his second album

Grammy-nominated Nigerian Afrobeat multi-instrumentalist Made Kuti has released his highly anticipated second album, ‘Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?.’ 

This bold and introspective body of work, with each song offering honest reflections on personal growth, social realities, and the challenges facing young Nigerians today. 

'Chapter 1: Where Does Happiness Come From?' is more than a critique - it's a call to action. A call to think, reconnect, and recognize that happiness and national progress begin with individual and collective responsibility.

This album is a mirror and a message, marking the beginning of a larger journey that asks one fundamental question: Where does happiness come from? while inviting listeners to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with values that truly matter.

It speaks to a generation navigating uncertainty and calls for a new kind of progress, one that begins from within.

The album release will be followed by an exclusive listening party happening on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at the iconic Afrikan Shrine.

The album is coming three years after the release of his debut album, 'For(e)word: A Modern Afrobeat Manifesto', addressing issues like corruption, inequality, and police brutality.

His debut album, which was released in a joint album, ‘Legacy+,’ alongside his father’s ‘Stop the Hate’ in 2022, earned him his first Grammy nomination for Best Global Music Album in 2022.
