Episode 100 of The History of Nigeria turns to a figure who challenged military rule with rhythm and rage: Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Lucas and Luna explore how Fela's Afrobeat sound fused Yoruba traditional music with jazz and funk, and how his political activism led to the creation of the Kalakuta Republic, a commune in Lagos that became a symbol of resistance. They cover Fela's early life in Abeokuta and London, his mother Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti's activism, the 1974 raid on Kalakuta by Nigerian soldiers that left his mother injured and the commune burned, and Fela's defiant response in songs like 'Zombie' and 'Sorrow, Tears and Blood'. The episode also touches on Fela's run for president in 1979 under his Movement of the People, and his legacy as a voice for the oppressed. For listeners who have followed the series through kingdoms, colonies, and independence, this episode examines how one man's music became a historical force. #FelaKuti #KalakutaRepublic #Afrobeat #Lagos #Nigeria #MilitaryRule #FunmilayoRansomeKuti #Zombie #MovementOfThePeople #Abeokuta #JamesBrown #Ghana #1970s #Highlife #Obasanjo #Resistance #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
