Já ouviu Fela Kuti hoje? #FelaKuti (1938-1997) foi um músico nigeriano, ativista e pioneiro do #Afrobeat, gênero que combina ritmos africanos com jazz e funk. Criticava o colonialismo e as ditaduras africanas, usando suas canções para denunciar a opressão. É um dos maiores músicos do século XX.

FELA
50th Anniversary Reissue
Fela Kuti (1938 - 1997) was a Nigerian musician, producer, arranger, political radical, outlaw, and originator of Afrobeat. A titanic musical and sociopolitical voice, Fela's legacy spans decades and genres, touching on jazz, pop, funk, hip-hop, rock, and beyond.
