 FELA LIVES ON!!!!

Fela Kuti, by the name of Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, also called Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, (born October 15, 1938, Abeokuta, Nigeria—died August 2, 1997, Lagos), Nigerian musician and activist who launched a modern style of music called Afro-beat, which fused American blues, jazz, and funk with traditional Yoruba music. Kuti was the son of feminist and labour activist Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti.

In 1979 Fela formed a political party, the Movement of the People, and ran unsuccessfully for the presidency of Nigeria. Five years later he was jailed for 20 months on charges of currency smuggling. Upon his release, he turned away from active political protest and left his son, Femi, to carry the torch of Afro-beat music. Fela was jailed again in 1993 for murder, but the charges were eventually dropped. He died as a result of complications from AIDS.

  Oriki, (Praise poem), a Yoruba verbal art form. Oriki tells us about a lineage's history, accomplishments, gods, profession, and behavior, as well as their strengths, weaknesses, challenges, and goals. The oriki of a lineage belongs to everyone who is born into that lineage. Each Yoruba family has its own oriki, which is the most endangered form. Even though Oriki is frequently referred to as Praise poetry, some of it is hardly flattering; nevertheless, it encodes the ancestral identity of a lineage and the characteristics that its members share. Oriki is a cultural legacy that cannot be replaced. Within the family, women have long been the creators, performers, and transmitters of this great poetic art form. Women were required to memorize the lengthy Oriki of their husbands' lineages as newlyweds, and as participants and observers in these families throughout their lives, they also added to it. Teefran are part of a typical Yoruba culture that is extremely fond of Oriki
