Fela! on Broadway

We've talked about books, movies, and tele-novellas about Africa. Now there's a Tony Award-winning musical on Broadway about Fela Kuti, the king of Afrobeat.

Fela Kuti, a native of Nigeria, was hugely influential in music, religion, and politics throughout Africa and around the world. Check out the wiki page.

Grace, there's extra-credit for you if see the show and give us a full report! Discount tickets can be found at Half-Price Tickets at Times Square and at Travelzoo.com.
