Fela On Broadway - When The World Stood Still for Fela Kuti - Africa's Greatest Musician

Fela On Broadway was a series of musicals held in the US and Europe a decade ago in honour of Africa's greatest musician, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

The concerts brought together the creme de la creme of international stardom and celebrity, attending the musicals, on the famed Broadway theatre, New York City, and in LA, Houston and other major international cities including London.

But the USA was where the most glamorous concerts were held, and attended by the likes of Jay Z, Spike Lee, John Legend, Madonna, Sting, Will Smith, Beyonce, and other A-List Hollywood stars.

Fela On Broadway was a real world tribute to Abami Eda himself.

Unforgettable.

The funny thing is that FELA criticised the government in a full military regime. They would arrest him, lock him up, beat him, release him. The next minute he sings another song about the government.

But someone who said he will behead buhari, destroy Nigeria and Bring out another country, fled to the UK as soon as he heard the army was coming .

The same person is sending igbo youths to go and fight what he ran away from.

He teĺls them Biafra or death. Same person.

Fela was critical of the government
Just like many influential Nigerians today

He wasn't a separatist
You certainly can't compare the two of them if only you had a functional brain...

Lame

Fela was a nationalist and Pan Africanist.

His mentors were the likes of Kwame Nkrumah and Malcolm X.

He wasn't a separatist or secessionist, or tribalist. Quite the opposite.

He saw the huge potential of Nigeria and just wanted its leaders to rise to the occasion.

We've made some progress since the days of Fela. That raw, brutal military dictatorship he sang against is gone, and we have a wealthier society in general, and somewhat more accountable leadership, including at state level. Molue, (49 sitting 99 standing shuffering and shmiling) is now replaced by air-conditioned BRT buses with USB outlets, in dedicated lanes etc etc...

Rest on Baba Fela

Why is it that its Dede Mabiaku that performs fela's role here?
Where is femi and seun
Anyway fela inspired many musicians ...

If he were alive in this fulanitocracy, he would be in jail for the 8 yrs the ultimate terrorist spent in Aso Rock.

More likely, he would have been jailed for crying foul during the thieving, looting Igbotocracy of Ebele.

Then people looted openly, now people are looting secretely. Cost of living was low then, but now it is unprecedently high. And unlike the mannequin, Gej is not a terrorist.

Amazing.
