Let's make this birthday one to remember.

87 years old (Born on October 15, 1938)

Happy birthday to the legendary Fela Kuti! Your music continues to groove through generations, making hips sway and minds awaken. From your electrifying performances at Afrika Shrine that shook Lagos nightlife, to pioneering Afrobeat—a genre that's still inspiring artists worldwide—you've truly set an unbeatable rhythm.

Your fearless activism and unforgettable charisma have left a lasting legacy; even today we celebrate how you boldly challenged norms with humor and style. May this special day be filled with laughter as vibrant as your stage presence—because let's face it: nobody rocks saxophone solos or political satire quite like you did!
