Fela Lives! Felabration Live In New York City [Okayafrica TV]
October 24, 2013
Okayafrica recently joined forces with Red Hot + Felato host New York City's FELABRATIONbash in honor of the godfather Fela Kuti. The festivities kicked off with some afrobeat tunes and classic Fela footage beaming off the Brooklyn Bowl speakers & screens onto a packed crowd. The Fela! Band, fronted by SahrNgaujah (the star of FELA! on Broadway) and a pair of hypnotizing dancers, mesmerized the stage with a wide selection of the afrobeat king's standouts. Okayafrica TV trailed Sahr as he readied himself for his transformation into Fela Kuti, a ritual he described as' opening up to enigmatic energy' and likened to communion — but mainly, he just wished Fela's family would approve. Watch the OKATV episode below.
