Felabration has been scheduled to take place between October 14 and 20 at the new Afrika shrine and other venues in Ikeja, Lagos.
It is reported that more than 400 Nigerian and foreign artistes have registered to perform at this year’s event.
Founded by Fela Anikulapo-Kuti’s daughter Yeni, Felabration is an annual festival held to honour and celebrate Fela’s music and the ideals that he lived for.
The theme for this year’s Felabration is ‘From Lagos with Love.’
The festival will feature a symposium, concerts, a dance competition, debates among selected secondary schools in Lagos and other activities.
Three winners are expected to emerge from the dance contest, after which they will be given an opportunity to perform at the grand finale of Felabration, with additional cash rewards to be given.
