The
explosive line-up for Felabration UK 2019 has just been
announced, and the life and legacy celebration of the African music icon and
legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, which takes place at Indigo At
The O2 on Friday, August 30, will be headlined by Africa’s
biggest stars including Falz, Harrysong and Awilo
Longomba.

extensive line-up for Felabration UK, which is the first ever Felabration
Music Festival in London, also includes the likes of Afrobeats rising
stars A.Star, Eugy, BM, Sona, Drumz with Atumpan, Mr
2Kay,Hotyce, Shiikane, Tomi Agape, Damibliz,
and many more, with music legends Lauryn Hill and Majek
Fashek set to receive special recognition honouree award, for their
contribution to African music, as part of the festival celebration.
Spearheaded
by Fela’s daughter Shalewa Kuti, and supported by DLA World,
the Felabration UK festival aims to foster unity and greatness
within Africa and the diaspora, and will offer a show stopping experience from
psychedelic stage performances, décor recreating the ambiance of The Shrine,
and on-screen visuals to cultural dances and the best line up in Afrobeats artists
to ever grace one stage live in the UK.
With
music being an integral aspect of African culture, Felabration is
one of the longest standing, most attended and groundbreaking music festivals
in Nigeria, staging over 150 of the best African Artists over a one-week
extravaganza at the New Afrika Shrine in Lagos, Nigeria. With its debut in the
UK this August, Felebration looks set to spread its immense
tradition and influence into Europe and diaspora.
Fela’s
music and influence have travelled the global music landscape, and it is fair
to say, that all Afrobeats artists are descendants of or influenced by Fela
Kuti in some way, and for one day, the UK will celebrate Fela
Kuti and host some of the biggest names in Afrobeats, Afropop and
Afrosoul, who will incorporate and showcase Fela’s music, his charisma and
razzmatazz on the big stage at Indigo At The O2 on Friday, August 30.
