Jad Abumrad’s new show - Fela Kuti: Fear No Man

<p>In a world that’s on fire, what do we do with art? Like, what can music actually do? </p><p>Today, Jad Abumrad is back with his first major project since <i>Dolly Parton’s America</i>. </p><p><strong>Fela Kuti: Fear No Man</strong> is a twelve episode exploration of the life, work, and legacy of the Nigerian singer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, one of  the most important musical artist of the 20th century. </p><p>Back in the 1960s and 70s, Fela invented a new style of music that was part jazz, part funk, part African polyrhythms and instrumentation. And it had resistance baked into its core. </p><p>Today, Fela has been forgotten by many. Almost erased. </p><p><strong>Fela Kuti: Fear No Man</strong> excavates his life’s work and finds it says as much about today, this moment, as it does about the past. </p><p>Find <strong>Fela Kuti: Fear No Man</strong> on <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Fela-Kuti-Fear-No-Man-Audiobook/B0FRCQHHXN">Audible</a> and wherever you listen to podcasts. </p>
