Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Sefi Atta will be among the guests at the 2019 Felabration, the annual music festival in memory of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti. The week-long event, to be held from 14-20 October at the New Afrika Shrine, Ikeja, will also be graced by the Ugandan pop star-turned-politician Bobi Wine, the British rapper and activist Akala, and the law professor Akin Oyebode.
Founded in 1998 by Fela’s daughter Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti, Felabration is held to coincide with the late Afrobeat pioneer’s birthday on 15 October. The 2019 theme, “From Lagos with Love,” is derived from Fela’s song “Eko Ile.”
The celebration-preceded by an Afrobics Dance Competition on 21 September, an art competition on 28 September, and a secondary schools debate on October 9-will also happen in New York, the Philippines, and Singapore.
