I had the privilege to see the play FELA! in Washington D.C. this past weekend. It was truly like no other show I had ever seen before. The show was interactive, colorful, lively, joyful, passionate, and inspiring. It inspired this little county girl from Texas to be proactive and engaged. This is a must see play.

FELA! is the true story of the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, whose soulful Afrobeat rhythms ignited a generation. Inspired by his mother, a civil rights champion, he defied a corrupt and oppressive military government and devoted his life and music to the struggle for freedom and human dignity. FELA! is a triumphant tale of courage, passion and love, featuring Fela Kuti’s captivating music and the visionary direction and choreography of Bill T. Jones.
