Fearless, uplifting, and insane—the delight of overseeing Fela Kuti.

According to his manager Rikki Stein, at least a million people attended the burial of Nigerian artist and voice of the oppressed Fela Kuti. Looking back on that August day in Lagos in 1997, he remarks, "The road was filled with people as far as the eye could see."

The people looked up to the King of Afrobeat, while those in authority feared him. He passed away at the age of 58, apparently due to complications from HIV.
Stein, on the other hand, believes that there was a deeper reason for Fela’s demise. Fela had been incarcerated multiple times for speaking out against military regimes that had come to power.
“One too many beatings claimed Fela’s life. His mind and soul had to deal with 200 arrests, and his body was scarred beyond recognition.

In an interview with the news to celebrate the release of his memoir, which includes details of his 15 years of management of possibly Nigeria’s most prominent singer, Stein states that the system can only handle so much.
Fela boldly criticized powerful people throughout his lengthy career, particularly a string of military dictators, making fun of them on albums like Coffin for Head of State.
His songs had the ability to seize listeners from the inside out and inspire them to begin seeing other worlds.
