A review of Remilekun Anikulapo-Kuti's memoir
Ah you beat me to this! I can’t wait to read the book. Lovely critique. I would love for Dede, Lemi and Baba Ani to write books on Fela. The more stories and narratives will help us get a realistic picture of the enigma.
It is such an important thing, the multiplicity of voices to unpack the myth, Fela. I love how this memoir humanises him.
Such a beautiful review. Now I have to get a copy to learn more about this amazing woman, and to understand Fela from her perspective.
As always, thank you for writing.
Thank you Ofure. Looks like it is only available in Nigeria atm. I had to order copies and have it ferried to UAE.
Oh, thanks for the heads up. I’ll have to figure out the logistics then 🥲
Your prayer may have been answered here. https://ginjaa.com/pages/about-us
It seems they only deliver to the UK 😭😭
Thank you for this. I love pieces on Fela and his legacy (family, music, life and cultural impact)
You are most welcome. You should read this review of John Collins’ Kalakuta Republic - https://open.substack.com/pub/damiajayi/p/22b-have-you-seen-the-kalakuta-show?r=uehqd&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
I finally read that John Collins' review on Kalakuta Republic. I must say knowledge truly is power...
Thank you 😊
Just gorgeously written. Thank you so much for this, DA.
Thank you for reading TF
