The exclusive premiere of Fela and the Kalakuta Queens sponsored by MTN Foundation, closed to a standing ovation in Lagos, recently. The play, produced by Bolanle Austen-Peters Productions, is about the relationship between Fela and his wives, the role they played in his music and activism, and the inspiration behind some of his greatest hits.
