FELA! on Broadway

FELA! Live

Soundcheck | Jul 21, 2010

The Tony winning musical FELA! brings the life of Nigerian composer, musician and activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti to the Broadway stage – and now to WNYC’s Greene Space.

Directed and choreographed by Bill T. Jones, the production is backed by members of the Brooklyn-based Afrobeat ensemble Antibalas. Led by Sahr Ngaujah, one of two actors who play Kuti, the cast and band of FELA! join us for a live performance.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
