This song is still important to this day, as it describes different faces of corruption and subtly criticizes self-serving actions. It encourages people to stand on their toes and take action against oppression.
Yeni Kuti, Head of the Felabration Organising Committee, said that this year’s theme is exciting and allows them to honour Fela’s legacy by embracing his message of resilience and expression.
Felabration is an annual celebration of Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s legacy. It is a cultural event that brings together music enthusiasts, activists, artists, and fans worldwide. The festival commemorates Fela’s impact on music, politics, and African culture.
This year’s festival will feature activities like “The Fela Debates,” Afrobics Dance Competition, Secondary School Debate, Art Competition, the Dress Fela Fashion Competition, and the 7-day Music Concert. Felabration 2024 is from Monday, 14 October to Sunday, 20 October 2024.
