🔥 THE RHYTHM OF RESISTANCE COMES TO NEWARK

A revolutionary artist, activist, and creator of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti used music to challenge injustice, confront political corruption, and demand freedom. Decades later, his message remains as urgent as ever.

On October 22, his extraordinary legacy comes alive at Newark Symphony Hall in FELA! The Concert, an electrifying celebration of the music, movement, and fearless spirit that changed the world.

At a time when the power of protest, artistic expression, and collective action is once again at the forefront, Fela’s voice reminds us that music can do more than entertain. It can inspire change.
