On 20 November mac and The New Black, supported by Punch, will be hosting a screening of A Slice of Fela, based on the life and music of legendary Afrobeat musician and social political icon Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

The screening is part of the 50th anniversary of Nigerian independence, and will feature excerpts from various documentaries and recorded concerts.

A Q&A panel will follow the screening, with Rikki Stein, Fela’s long-time manager, artist Lemi Ghariokwu, who designed Fela’s album sleeves, former editor of Black Music and Jazz Chris May and personal friend of Fela, JK, will share their memories of the man and his music.

The celebrations start at 4.30pm, with a DJ in Bridges Café Bar from 6pm after the screening.
