Trybe Records’ vision is to discover and nurture the talents of our artists while operating with purpose, valuing relationships with our partners within the industry, and being persistent in creating and releasing quality music. Unfortunately, over the past 5 months Eva’s vision has not aligned with ours and thus, both parties have agreed to separate.
We wish Eva the best in her future endeavors and plan on continuing towards our goal of creating quality music for Nigeria and beyond‘.

The 2012 edition of the annual Felabration (celebration of the life, music and legacy of the music maestro and Afrobeat Legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti) was rightly themed ‘Africa: Centre of the World’ after one of the masterpieces of Fela released in 1979 which featured Fela and Roy Ayers. The LP centred around Fela‘s clarion call to Africans to take their place as the core of the world affairs.
Felabration is an annual festival in its 15th year. Created by Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti, Felabration has grown from a day’s celebration of the icon Fela Anikulapo-Kuti to a week long of events clinching the nod of approval from the Lagos State Government into partnering and incorporating the festival into the Lagos State’s Event Calendar. Now a weekly fiesta, it has become an international tourist attraction attracting music lovers all over the world.
The week-long Felabaration concert which was held at the New Afrikan Shrine, started Tuesday, October 16 and ended on Sunday, October 22, 2012.
Each of the days were graced by top African musicians, comedians, poets, Fela’s family & friends and of course die hard Fela fans which truly served as a great tribute to the afro-beat legend.

4 young men died at the hands of a lynch mob on the 5th of October 2012. Whether or not their deaths will mean anything, or fade out of our minds as just another meaningless tragedy, is up to us and what we do from here on.
I hope this song captures that message. Nothing would be worse than for a death to mean nothing.
