Wednesday, 2nd of August 2017, marked the 20th anniversary of the death of Nigeria's Afrobeat legend and human rights activist, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

Decades after Fela Anikulapo-Kuti joined the ancestors, his influence and lifestyle are felt more than ever before as Nigerian contemporary music is on the global map as a result of the legacy he left behind.
