Legendary Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, will be in the spotlight again this Sunday, as he receives a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at the 68th Grammy Awards, in recognition of his profound impact on African music and global culture.
This honour acknowledges his pioneering work in creating Afrobeat, a genre that blends traditional Nigerian rhythms with funk, jazz, and salsa, and has inspired artists like Beyonce, Paul McCartney, and Thom Yorke.
