WIN: with Fela!

Fela! is opening on 19 March and we can hardly wait! Spectacular and inspiring, Fela! celebrates the songs of Fela Kuti, the founding father of Afrobeat - a blend of jazz, funk and African rhythm and harmonies. Fela was a musical rebel with a political cause, famous for mixing his sensual, eclectic sounds with simple and powerful lyrics that openly assailed Nigeria's oppressive dictatorships.

To celebrate Fela! being part of the Auckland Arts Festival, we've got the ultimate giveaways for lovers (and future lovers) of Fela! to giveaway thanks to Madman!

The recently released DVD, Finding Fela, directed by award-winning filmmaker, Alex Gibney, Finding Fela is a vibrant, politically-charged journey into the life of the beloved, celebrated father of Afrobeat, Fela Kuti.

Fresh off the press is the latest Antiblas EP, they are a Brooklyn-based afrobeat band, featuring band members who are part of the Fela! band touring with the show.

We have 3 DVD & Record packs to give away AND 10 additional copies of the DVD!
