WHAT DO JAY-Z, SPIKE LEE, ALICIA KEYS, JOHN LEGEND AND STING HAVE IN COMMON?

10 June 2011

They all love the "ecstatic phenomenon" know as FELA! performing now at Sadler's Wells

A provocative and wholly unique hybrid of dance, theatre and music, FELA! explores the extravagant, decadent and rebellious world of Afrobeat legend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. 

Using his pioneering music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), FELA! reveals Kuti’s controversial life as an artist and political activist. 

Featuring many of Fela Kuti’s most captivating songs and Bill T. Jones’ visionary staging, FELA! – an original new creation – comes via Broadway and the National Theatre to Sadler's Wells.
