Omo Naija goes to see FELA on Broadway!

Omo Naija! Magazine takes a group trip to see FELA! on broadway.

FELA!, presented by Jay Z, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith gets 5 stars for its originality, and great portrayal of the legendary musician we all respect. Starring Kevin Mambo who plays Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, Sahr Ngaujah (Fela Anikulapo-Kuti), Lillias White (Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti), Saycon Sengbloh (Sandra Isadore), and directed by Tony Award Winner Bill T. Jones . FELA! is a provocative hybrid of dance and a Broadway musical. FELA! uses stirring Afrobeat music (a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies), to tell the story of Kuti’s controversial life as artist, political activist and revolutionary musician. Featuring many of Fela Kuti’s most captivating songs and Bill T. Jones’s visionary staging, FELA! is the most original new musical on Broadway.
