“Fela!” is based on the life of Fela Kuti, who created Afrobeat—a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies—and mixed these sensual eclectic rhythms with simple but powerful lyrics that openly assailed Nigeria’s corrupt and oppressive dictatorships.The national tour made stops in Washington D.C.., Detroit, Chicago, Charlotte, Atlanta, Schenectady, Miami, Cleveland, Buffalo, Tucson, Tempe, Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, and Oakland.
