Fela: The Life and Times of an African Musical Icon by Michael E. Veal

5.0

Indeed the life and times of a musical icon. Veal was able to knead the complex life of Fela into a dish that could provoke both love and spite for the man—Fela. However, one consensus would be that Fela was a stubborn man that stood as a dissenting voice against the colonial ideologies, social misforms and kleptocratic regimes that plagued Nigeria. An amazing book.
