Wednesday, 2. AugustClub Mandingo pres. FELA! - A night dedicated to Fela Kuti (1938 - 1997)
In Africa there is a a tradition of celebrating Life over Death. For this reason, the opportunity should not be missed to celebrate the life and work of one of Africa’s finest: FELA ANIKULAPO 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. He pioneered the popular Afro beat sound in the 1970´s, a combination of traditional Yoruba music, jazz, funk and chanted vocals, fused with percussion and vocal styles, who used it to revolutionise musical structure as well as the political context in his native Nigeria.
Fela Kuti died on the 2nd of August in 1997. Several contributers will bring him back to life 20 years later.
