Celebrate Fela Kuti's Birthday@Sonotheque

Tonight at Sonotheque, Africa Hi-Fi presents "A Fistfull Of Fela," a celebration of the late Fela Kuti on what would have been his 74th Birthday. Resident DJ Ron Trent will be spinning the tunes with special musical guest DJ Kennedy Octane. In addition to the sounds of Fela, artist Jeff Henriquez will be conducting a live art installation in tribute to the late great musician and political activist. Henriquez will be painting one piece all night and will be seeking inspiration from the music and the audience in order to complete his work. Africa Hi-Fi is a monthly event at Sonotheque that is a musical tribute of respect to Africa and all that it has touched and influenced in World music and culture. The brainchild of Sonia Hassan and World Renown DJ/Producer/Remixer Ron Trent, the event will fuse music and social consciousness with art and dance every 3rd Friday of the month at Sonotheque.
