Smooth FM, in collaboration with Lagos State, is set to stage what has been described as one of the greatest concerts in honour of Afrobeat legend, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, tagged Fela! The Concert.
Ahead of the concert which comes up from Thursday, April 13 to Saturday April 15, at the Eko Convention Centre, Afro-conscious singer, Olawale Ashimi, aka Brymo, shared his opinion on Fela’s music as well as the upcoming concert, noting that Fela’s music has stood the test of time.
“Fela’s music is relevant for obvious reasons especially when you touch topics that affect day-to-day people,” he said.
“Thirty years from now, somebody will listen to these songs and will still identify with them because he spoke about things that meant something to everybody.”
Brymo, a singer, songwriter and composer, has dropped songs such as ‘Good Morning’, ‘Fe Mi’, as well as ‘Happy Memories’ to mention a few.
