Fela!

Jump to Comments


It’s all the rage and understandably so – the man is a legend and has been a source of inspiration to many, musically and politically. I am not usually a fan of musicals, but this one, I would have LOVED to see and inevitably dance to. Here’s a gold star review in the NY Times (via Africa is a country) of the translation by award winning choreographer and director, Bill T Jones (noteworthy interview above) and the numerous people who bring the late great Fela Anikulapo Kuti and his afrobeat band to life including actor Sahr Ngaujah and Brooklyn band Antibalas in the Lagos club, The Shrine. Details on dates and location here. Anyone who’s seen it, feel free to share your review and make me go green with envy :)
