The annual music fiesta, Felabration, initiated by Yeni Kuti, Fela’s first child, begins on Monday October 15, 2018 with a theme coined from his 1990 hit ODOO ‘Overtake Don Overtake Overtake’
Fans are expected in Lagos from around the world to honour the mark Fela made in the world music scene, as well as the inspiration he has given to younger talents coming out from Africa.
In July, French President paid a visit to the Shrine to honour Fela, and there will be no surprise if he and other prominent persons like him join in the October celebrations, which will feature a symposium, debates, art exhibition, dance competition and a music concert.
