Fela Kuti Documentary PART 1

This year we’re kicking Flashback Friday’s off a little bit different.

“Fela Anikulapo Kuti (15 October 1938–2 August 1997), or simply Fela, was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, pioneer of afrobeat music, human rights activist, and political maverick.”
