Afrobeat is going to the Grammys. On Saturday the 31st of January 2026, Fela Kuti receives the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Before we celebrate, let’s remember: – He created Afrobeat in 1970s Lagos – He turned his band into a movement – He influenced all generations globally from Lagos to the world. Afrobeat, has gone global and is being played on all continents. This is bigger than a trophy. It’s a global “thank you” for a sound that never died. #FelaKuti #Afrobeat #Grammy2026 #felabratio

An Afrobeat band from Melbourne Australia called The Seven Ups, playing the opening horn riffs of No Agreement by Fela.Occurred to me e that very few of this bands can play Afrobeat with vocals. Why?
