Cleveland Museum of Art | Cleveland, OH

Join us on August 2 at MIX: Fela to celebrate the legacy of Fela Kuti, who passed away on August 2, 1997. Kuti was a Nigerian musician and activist who popularized Afrobeat, a musical style that fuses American blues, jazz, and funk with traditional Yoruba music. All evening, DJ Mark Who? (Mark Matthews), the cofounder of Cleveland’s famous Sanctuary dance parties, spins an array of Afrobeat ranging from classic Kuti hits to contemporary tracks influenced by Kuti. Themed food and drink items, including cocktails, beer, and wine, are available to purchase from Bon Appétit. Guests are also invited to view the museum’s special exhibition Korean Couture: Generations of Revolution. Dress to impress and get your groove on at this Friday-night extravaganza!
Ticket required; free for members
