FELA! Musical (off Broadway)

FELA! is a new musical that is directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Bill T. Jones with a book by Jim Lewis, in which audiences are welcomed into the extravagant, decadent and rebellious world of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti. Using his pioneering music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), FELA! explores Kuti's controversial life as artist, political activist and revolutionary musician. Featuring many of Fela Kuti's most captivating songs and Bill T. Jones' imaginative staging, this new show is a provocative hybrid of concert, dance and musical theater.

I agree I love his Music and I found out about him in 2006 when I watched a clip of the Essence awards giving a tribute to Mos Def and Dave Chapelle who started it off said that Mos taught him about Felo Kuti :)!! That's when I first heard his name and found out about him and Afrobeat on youtube. I love the show!! I wanna go see it on broadway. I hope they come to Canada as well.

"finkelsmak ", thanks for the response to "afroda3" who has spent so much time making the same comments on all videos about this broadway show.If you feel so bad about the show, could you please do something in tribute to Fela you think would be better. That will be much better than just condemning this great effort which is at least getting the word out about a great musical genius who deserved much more global recognition than he got when he was alive.
