🎶✊🏽🇳🇬 The revolutionary, fearless and flawed #artist #activist #Afrobeat creator #Fela Anikulapo Kuti @felakutiofficial was born on this day (October 15) in 1938. #FelaKuti embodied the transformative power of music to inform, inspire and impact socio-political change in Nigeria and beyond. His quote "Music is the Weapon" was an inspiration for my vision to create my #ArtIsAWeapon platform. His legacy is complex, universal and forever. http://findingfela.com --------------------------- Shout out to my dude @richmedina for creating "Jump N Funk" all those years ago to introduce and share Fela's musical messages around the globe! Rich brings "Jump N Funk" to his "Home" monthly party @cmoneverybodybk October 28.
