Fela! The concert

Great music never dies. It lives on after the last notes have fallen silent.

Over the years, artists have risen and fallen but very few have left our hearts still humming to their symphonies.

One voice, who is indeed a music legend is Fela Anikulapo- Kuti. The pioneering father of Afrobeat, is as influential as the story of his extraordinary life. In a chaotic world burdened with non-stop reformation, Fela's music was borne of humanity and an overriding quest to influence the tide of the tempests tormenting civilisation. His melodies has over the years experienced persistent rebirth in several forms.
