We would all recall that sometime in May, 2010, a play was put together and produced on Broadway to celebrate one of Nigeria’s legend, multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer, pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre, human rights activist, and political maverick, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
It was a marvelous play that stressed on the phenomenal character of the ZOMBIE singer.
However, popular Hollywood actor, Will Smith, took to his Instagram page to honor the legend once again.
Making a throw-back post, Will Smith shared photos as he captioned the post; May 20, 2010. We all produced a play together on Broadway called FELA. It was about the late Nigerian Artist / Activist Fela Anikulapo Kuti. We were nominated for 11 Tony Awards!!! Look up FELA. His life was DEEP! #tbt
