'A decadent night for decadent people'
Introducing the Fela Kuti Celebration Band! A vibrant tribute to the legendary pioneer of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti. This ensemble is dedicated to honouring Fela's original compositions while infusing them with a unique touch.
The Band that starts playing on Friday goes on playing into Saturday with a sound that mesmerizes us all and a beat that never lets you go! Supported by frantic DJ's-collectors of exotic tunes to shake, to move our bodies and uplift our souls to the Beyond. Decadent or what ?!
Every show is a high-energy celebration where the infectious grooves and pulsating beats drive the audience to dance and experience pure musical ecstasy. Join us for an unforgettable night where tradition meets innovation, and the spirit of Fela Kuti lives on!
"We may not understand it, but there is a subtle feeling that the whole existence is a celebration." Osho
