On September 22 we went to see Fela!, a musical presented by the Shakespeare Theatre Company that was full of energy, vibrant colors and plenty of interaction between audience members and the cast. Fela! is based on the life experiences of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. He was one of the hottest musicians in Nigeria during the late 1970s. His travels around the world and experiences with constant oppressive armies within his country inspired Fela to use his music as political warfare in order to bring freedom to the people of Nigeria. Overall, it was a great night full of constant laughter and moments of deep reflection on past events that have helped to shape the future.
