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.

Thank you for this. I love pieces on Fela and his legacy (family, music, life and cultural impact)

I finally read that John Collins' review on Kalakuta Republic. I must say knowledge truly is power...

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.
