“The influence of Afrobeat on contemporary African music is expanding across the globe,” said Charlotte Bwana, Vise President of Marketing, Audiomack, on the alliance.
“Fela is a major reason why Afrobeat is at the root of so much of the African music the world is dancing to right now,” Bwana remarked.
Our Felabration playlist is an open door back to the source. “We wanted to go further for our Audiomack+ subscribers, and we wanted to put them in the room where the culture lives.
For nearly three decades, the Felabration has been celebrated, honouring Fela’s musical legacy and the enduring impact of Afrobeat.
The festival’s usual home, New Afrika Shrine in Lagos, has seen its share of Nigerian music performers throughout the years.
Audiomack said the Felabration playlist is designed to connect Fela’s archive to modern artists that are carrying elements of his musical impact to a new generation.
