A celebration of Fela Kuti

It is very difficult to put into words the significance and stature of an individual like Fela Kuti and his contribution to both the World music and music in general. It is often much easier to showcase his talent via the medium he told his story to the world. With that being said, we’re very lucky to have Bukky Leo and Black Egypt retell many of the Nigerian multi-instrumentalist’s hits at the Jazz Café. A pioneer of Afrobeat, a genre he is attributed as to creating-subsequently gifting the world songs such as “Beasts of No Nation and Water Get No Enemy”, a “celebration” is perhaps fitting of a man who has attributed so much.
