The annual musical festival which is in its 7th Edition and dedicated to late Nigerian Afrobeat music legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti Felabration, took off last night with stellar performance from a mix of old and new artistes led by Afro-Juju music star, Sir Shina Peters and treated to an amazing night with different genres of music from traditional to the contemporary.


Felabration, which started with a symposium titled: “Movement of the People: The Fela/Bob Marley Perspective” on Monday, had thousands of music lovers thronged the New Afrika Shrine in Alausa Central Business District, Ikeja, Lagos for the concert aspect of the festival.

Performances were also by some rave artistes like Orezi, Rayce, Shank, Flowsick and others

Olamide, who just came from United Kingdom where he had a sold out concert at the O2 Arena, was the star of the night with the YBNLgeneral, giving out hit after hit including Badoo, Durosoke, Go Down Low and his latest single, Yemi My Lover for about 30 minutes with crowd yelling for more

The Africa’s numero uno DJ later took over the wheel of steel and for one hour, he thrilled the audience to a non-stop mix of old skool tunes and ended it with contemporary songs.

Afro Juju music creator, SSP, rounded off the concert at around 5 a.m with his fast-paced beats. Sporting a black blazer, white shirt, white jeans and black skull cap, SSP had everyone including some Caucasians on their feet, dancing and sing along most of his hits.


Meanwhile, Kymani Marley, son of reggae music legend, Bob Marley, is one of the top acts that will be performing at this year’s Felabration

The high point of this year’s festival will be the 20 October performance of Femi Kuti and Kymani Marley on same stage.
