A major Lagos exhibition is celebrating the legendary Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti in full color — with his famous outfits, photos, personal items, and even his iconic underwear on display. Performers are paying tribute, and new voices are reinterpreting his music.



Why this matters: Fela was more than a musician — he was a provocateur, a voice of dissent, and a symbol of resistance. This exhibition isn’t just nostalgia; it’s a call to remember his fearless activism in today’s Nigeria. For younger celebs and artists: Fela’s life proves that art + advocacy = power. It’s not just about making hits — it’s about making change.
