The
vast premises of the New Africa Shrine was abuzz last weekend when fun seekers
and lovers of Afrobeat trooped out in their numbers to honour Fela
Anikulapo-Kuti- the late Afrobeat legend.
The
event tagged ‘Fela Day Celebration’ was staged by New Afrika Shrine in
conjunction with Street Media on August 1st and 2nd and
it turned out to be a memorable event altogether.
The
event started 3 years ago to honour of the late Afro beat creator, Fela
Anikulapo Kuti. The first night of the event saw cameo performances by established
and up and coming hip hop artistes such as Oritsefemi, Small Doctor, Adekunle
Gold, the YBNL Nation crew, Danagog, the Afrobeat Orchestra, Young Kay, Daboi,
Tee High and the HKN crew among others while DJ Flamzy dished out music that
set the audience into exciting fits.
The
event was described by many at the event as a positive way to celebrate a man who
after 18 years of his demise, still stands tall in the memory of many as his
music keeps pervading every nook and cranny while his prophesies keep
resurfacing.
