The annual music festival Felabration, which honors and celebrates Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has announced that its 2023 iteration will take place from Monday, October 9 to Sunday, October 15, 2023.
On Friday, June 16, 2023, a press release announcing this was made accessible to journalists in Lagos.
This year’s subject is ‘Question Jam Answer,’ a legendary song written by Fela and published in 1972. The song perfectly captures the socio-political climate of the nation following the fascinating general election, where people are looking for solutions to their questions.
Through art, dance, fashion, and music, Felabration 2023 will give a genuine and vibrant presentation of African music, creativity, and resiliency.

Felabration is a week-long celebration of Fela’s legacy as the Afrobeat genre creator and a renowned human rights activist.
Conceived in 1998 by Yeni Anikulapo-Kuti to honour the legacy of her father, Felabration is Nigeria’s biggest music festival today. It hosts tens of thousands of attendees annually.
Currently, Felabration Event is organised by the Felabration Organising Committee. Felabration, an official tourist destination of The Lagos State Government, is a major event sponsor.
