It is very difficult to put into words the significance and stature of an individual like Fela Kuti, and his contribution to music, politics and culture across the twentieth century.

A pioneer of afrobeat – a genre of which he was at the forefront – Fela gifted the world with songs such as ‘Beasts of No Nation’, ‘Zombie’ and ‘Water No Get Enemy’.

After the sell-out success of our birthday celebration show in October, we have brought Fela‘s former bandmate Bukky Leo & Black Eygpt alongside a stellar line-up of London musicians, to retell many of the Nigerian multi-instrumentalist’s stories, and in doing so honouring the life and legacy of an icon that has given us so much.
