Fela Kuti Is Still The Best by lipuka(m): 11:35am On May 07, 2010
A musical, by the nameĀ  Fela, has just won a Tony award at Broadway in the United States of America. The musical is about the life of Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, and this comes many years after his death.

There are not many Nigerians today who know much about Fela Kuti, but he was a giant during his day. There are very few musicians in Nigeria, and indeed in Africa, who will ever reach his level. And I can bet, that there will be very few of the present generation of musicians who will be remembered for as long as Fela will be, or whose music will be as enduring.

Fela Kuti did not play music to follow a trend, as many do today. He set a trend, that no one is able to follow. He stood upto, and spoke against injustice. The present day musician on the other hand will see and hear no evil, concentrating on love instead.

Fela Kuti will continue to be a giant among musicians. It is embarrassing that while Fela can win an award, even posthumously abroad, not much is done in his memory in Africa, not even his motherland. Can someone inĀ  Nigeria name a street after him, or put up a statue somewhere, or even a monument or library?

Nice one lipuka wink

I know I'm very late but early this month I went to see the London version of the play and I'll rate it 6/10. If u wanna have fun or feeling nostalgic it wouldn't be so bad to visit but it's not too accurate and the pidgin and yoruba is simplified. cool
