The stirring music of critically acclaimed musical “Fela!”
arrives to the City of Brotherly Love’s historic Academy of Music March 20-25.
Based on the true story of Nigerian musical pioneer and political activist Fela
Anikulapo Kuti, the show expresses the dynamic man’s devotion to the causes of
freedom and human dignity through Broadway-style song and dance, largely based
in the Afrobeat music Kuti originated. Now on its first world tour, this show
is set to be an international sensation, particularly with such notable
producers as Jay-Z and Philly-native Will Smith.
Appeared in the March 2012 issue of Where Magazine-Philadelphia
