FELA! Heads to Fela's Home Country

The critically-acclaimed and award-winning Broadway musical FELA! makes history this week as the New York cast heads "home" to the land that Fela changed forever - to perform at the Kuti Family HQ in Lagos, the New Afrika Shrine, starting April 14, and later at the New Expo Centre at the Eko Hotel from April 20-25.

We’ll be blogging the trip here on OKA, so stay tuned for updates on how FELA! New York mixes it up in the Lagos Inferno. Yeah yeah!
