Fela Anikulapo Kuti (b. Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti,
October 15, 1938 - August 2, 1997), or simply FELA, was a Nigerian
multi-instrumentalist musician and composer, pioneer of Afrobeat
music, human rights activist and political maverick.
The musical style performed by Fela Kuti was called Afrobeat, which
was a fusion of jazz, funk and Traditional African Chant, characterized by having African style percussion,vocals, and musical structure, along with jazzy, funky horn sections...."endless groove" style.
Fela's main instruments were the saxophone and the keyboards but he also played the trumpet, horn, guitar and made the occasional drum solo. Fela
refused to perform songs again after he had already recorded them and was known for his showmanship.
