Finding Fela!15

Friday 5–Sunday 7 September

GFT 12 Rose Street, G3 6RB

Prolific and much-lauded documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Darkside, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room) returns with this portrait of one of the most electrifying musicians and political activists ever; Fela Ransome Kuti. Using the recent Broadway production Fela! as a framing device, Gibney expertly mixes archive footage and talking heads to recount how the Nigerian-born Kuti mixed elements of local dance music, jazz and soul to create the new genre of Afrobeat, changing both the musical and political landscape of the time in the process.
