FELA! The Musical


This is an order from Miles to see FELA! THE MUSICAL, now on Broadway.
Put simply, the show is so uplifting. The music is great, supplied from members of Antibalas, lead by Aaron Johnson. From the moment you walk in to the theater, the band is already going with infectious afrobeat Fela and Antibalas grooves. I couldn't help stomp my feet on my way to my seats. I was having a good time before the show even started!

And the show itself was great. Very entertaining, funny and theatrical but not over-done. If you don't know who Fela Kuti was (and you are wondering why all these people are talking about him), this is a great way to learn the basics about his life. He was an amazingly influential character, and though his name has seriously come into the media, more people need to know about him: his life, his music, his legacy. Anybody in any line of work can learn from him.

To learn more, go to www.felaonbroadway.com. Take one night out of your busy lives to free your mind and experience the spirit of Fela!
