ABOUT
The yearly festival, now in its 12th year, is a vehicle to continue the legacy of conscientizing people using music and the arts. Through performances by live bands, DJ sets, live art shows and screenings we continue using music as the weapon to create change that will grow and empower our continent. This year we invite you to celebrate the life of Fela Anikulapo Kuti with us. We call it the Felanation to emphasize how Fela was able to facilitate unity amongst Africans and how through his work was able to create a community. Fela was able to create a bond grounded on love for Black people. We will also look into other musicians and genres he has influenced. We will listen to music from Congo, Mali, Zimbabwe, Ghana to mention a few. Musics beyond Afro-Beat.
