About Felabration and the art competition:
Established in 1998 by Yeni Kuti, the daughter of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti, Felabration, Nigeria’s longest-running music festival, honours the iconoclast’s legacy. Held at the New Afrika Shrine in Lagos, Nigeria, the festival’s theme this year is Look & Laugh, named after Fela’s 1986 classic.
Over the years, Felabration has featured an array of international artists such as South Africa’s Hugh Masekela, Nigerian stars Seun Kuti, Femi Kuti, Aṣa and 2Baba, as well as Awilo Logomba (the DRC) and Sauti Sol (Kenya) among others.
The art competition is now in their eighth year.
