Introducing Fela Kuti: Fear No Man

If you loved The Wonder of Stevie , you cannot miss Higher Ground and Audible's newest music show. In Fela Kuti: Fear No Man , Jad Abumrad—creator of Radiolab, More Perfect, and Dolly Parton's America —tells the story of one of the great political awakenings in music: how a classically trained 'colonial boy' traveled to America, in search of Africa, only to return to Nigeria and transform his sound into a battering ram against the state—creating a new musical language of resistance called Afrobeat. In a world that’s on fire, what is the role of art? What can music actually…do? Can a song save a life? Change a law? Topple a president? Get you killed?
