The music of the Afrobeats legend, Fela Kuti lives on.

Also, as part of this partnership, a new Fela Kuti compilation “(Red) Hot + FELA” will be released. This compilation will feature a cover of Fela’s “Lady” performed by the celebrity drummer of The Roots, ?uestlove; poet/singer/rapper Akua Naru; Benin’s number one music diva, Angelique Kidjo and the experimental indie band, tUnE-yArDs. The single will be made available June 1st on iTunes.

      okay, i see, why is fela the only african musician we celebrate like this, what about the likes of sunny ade. I just think we should acknowledge other musical legends.
