FELA! "Audiences are gyrating to the rhythms of Fela Kuti,
the Nigerian father of Afrobeat, whose music and activist passions are
being celebrated in “Fela!,”... where its music and costumes drew raves."

Another Afrocentric wind is rising, and Africa’s visual influence is touching film, music and fashion.
