Finding Fela

• Date: 04 April
• Time: 17:15 - 19:55
• Location: Filmhuis Den Haag

Finding Fela tells the story of Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s life, his music, and his social and political importance. He created a new musical movement, Afrobeat, which he used to express his revolutionary political views against the dictatorial Nigerian government of the 1970s and 1980s. His influence helped bring about a change towards democracy in Nigeria and promoted Pan-African politics worldwide. The power of Fela’s message is fully present today, and reflected in the political movements of oppressed people, who embrace Fela’s music and message in their fight for freedom.

Before the film screening in Filmhuis Den Haag, there is a 30-minute talk with Femi Kuti about the film and the legacy of his father.

Later that evening, Femi Kuti will perform live at PAARD Den Haag. Please note that tickets for the concert are sold separately.
