From a team of producers including Jay-Z and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith comes FELA!
Directed by Bill T. Jones, this provocative hybrid of dance, theater
and music explores the extravagant world of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti
and has become an international sensation having been performed in three
continents.
A triumphant tale of courage, passion and love, FELA!
is the true story of Kuti, who created a type of music, Afrobeat, and
mixed these pounding eclectic rhythms (a blend of jazz, funk and African
rhythm and harmonies) with incendiary lyrics that openly attacked the
corrupt and oppressive military dictatorships that rule Nigeria and much
of Africa. Featuring many of Fela Kuti's most captivating songs and
Bill T. Jones's visionary staging, FELA! reveals Kuti's controversial life as an artist and political activist and celebrates his pioneering music.
