Fela Anikulapo Kuti ,born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti (15 October 1938 – 2 August 1997), would have turned 71 years old today. This episode is a special celebration of his life as a talented musician and human rights advocate. Fela fought for freedom of speech and spoke truth to power in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. Some of the songs included in this mix were released in the 70’s and 80’s, but the messages in the music are still very current in Nigeria and Africa today. Both Femi and Seun Kuti proudly continues the legacy. May Fela’s soul rest in perfect peace, Amen
