Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti also known as “Abami Eda” was a Nigerian musician, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader, composer and political activist. Raised by two disciplinarians; Reverend Israel Oludotun and Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Fela was born on October 15, 1938 in Abeokuta Ogun state.

He is regarded as the pioneer of Afrobeat, an African music genre that combines traditional Yoruba and highlife music with American funk and jazz.

Fela shot to stardom in Nigeria during the 1970s, during which he was an outspoken critic and target of Nigeria's military juntas.

Since his death on August 2, 1997 his music collections have become constant reminders of how bad Nigeria has become due to bad government.
