Additionally, the concert will bring together some of the most prominent music stars from Nigeria as well as international artists, all set to perform at the iconic New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja, Lagos.

Furthermore, Felabration is going to be an extraordinary week-long celebration that pays tribute to the remarkable legacy of Fela, the creator of Afrobeat music and a prominent advocate for human rights which was originally conceptualized in 1998 by Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti by one of the children of the legendary singer Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

Save the dates and get ready to experience the magic of Felabration 2023. It promises to be an unforgettable celebration of music, creativity, and the enduring spirit of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.
