The Legacy of Fela Kuti

It’s hard to overstate the influence of Fela Kuti — a revolutionary artist whose impact on music, politics and culture shaped the course of the twentieth century.

A true pioneer of afrobeat, Fela gifted the world timeless anthems like ‘Beasts of No Nation’, ‘Zombie’ and ‘Water No Get Enemy’.

Following the sell-out success of our birthday celebration in October, we’re bringing Fela’s former bandmate Bukky Leo & Black Egypt together with a stellar lineup of London musicians to revisit the Nigerian multi-instrumentalist’s most powerful works — celebrating the life and legacy of an icon who changed music forever.

Presented by The Jazz Cafe.
