Coming to the Eugene O’Neill Theatre. Performances start October 19, 2009!
THIS SHOW IS AMAZING!!!! I saw it twice and I still would pay again to go back for more. A MUST see for all of us to know and bridge the diaspora. We are all one people...remember that. Very accurate in terms of culture, spirituality, and symbolization. Much respect to all involved...this is what we need on broadway....our roots.
I want to see this so badly, and Nigeria should be covering this. Even Fela would be impressed.
I saw it a few weeks ago on Broadway! I had no idea who is was but absolutely amazing! The best!
His body of work is phenomenal in its quality and productivity. if you check my channel there is one near the bottom of my favourites called BONN or Beasts of no nation. You will notice the progression from this one as it is when he introduced a second bass guitar and the big Konga drum. His children Femi And Seun both tour extensively you can check them out on myspace .
Kabisa great
Sounds like the intro to "Teacher dont teach me nonsense " if i am not mistaken.

Did you listen to everything that he said? He wasn't being disrespectful to Fela. He didn't mean Fela was literally shipped to an island.
-looks interesting i hope they got some nigerian input on this but i tlooks good ashame i cant see it i'm in ldn
Did you find the song titile, because I would like to know the name of it as well. its amazing.
