Alakija and the Prime Owest Band performed at the Afrika Shrine on Monday night as part of Felabration, the annual festival celebrating the life and musical legacy of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.

The performance continued into the early hours of Tuesday, bringing together fans for live music and cultural celebration.

This year’s festival, themed “Who Are You?”, began on October 12 and is scheduled to conclude on October 18.

The live set formed part of a programme celebrating Afrobeat, Nigerian music and cultural expression.

Beyond the stage, businesses around the shrine benefited from visitor spending, according to the supplied account. No sales figures were provided to establish the scale of the increase.

Some attendees expressed enthusiasm for the performances and urged organisers to sustain the festival’s appeal. They also highlighted its potential to attract visitors to Lagos and support tourism.

The evening reflected Felabration’s role as both a musical tribute and a gathering that connects artistes, audiences and businesses around Fela’s enduring legacy.
