Read full details
This event honors the life and legacy of Fela Kuti, the Nigerian musician and political activist who pioneered Afrobeat—a genre blending West African music with American funk and jazz. Fela's music, performed with his band Africa '70, became a voice for social change, challenging Nigeria's military juntas.
Since his death in 1997, reissues and compilations of his music have been overseen by his son, Femi Kuti. In 2026, Kuti was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the early/musical influence category.
