Great music never dies. It
lives on after the last notes have fallen silent.
Over the years, artistes
have risen and fallen but very few have left our hearts still humming to their
symphonies.
One voice, who is indeed a
music legend is Fela Anikulapo- Kuti. In a chaotic world burdened with non-stop
reformation, Fela's music was borne of humanity and an overriding quest to
influence the tide of the tempests tormenting civilization. His melodies has
over the years experienced persistent rebirth in several forms. The pioneering
father of Afrobeat, is as influential as the story of his extraordinary life.
In celebration of this
legend, Smooth FM is set to present the award winning Broadway musical 'Fela!
The Concert' in Lagos from April 13th-15th 2017.
The concert which was
conceived by iconic Bill T. Jones, will hold at the Eko Convention Centre.
Consisting a blend of Jazz,
Funk, African rhythm and harmonies, the musical explores Fela’s controversial
life as an Artist, a Political Activist and a Revolutionary Musician. It will
feature series of his most captivating songs and imaginative staging hereby
