Music is the Weapon: From Fela to Fuse (Livestream)
Join us for an evening of musical and cultural self-examination as Afrobeats artist Fuse ODG explores the social impact of Fela Kuti’s work and how it has inspired his own T.I.N.A (This Is New Africa) movement today.
Fuse ODG is a rapper, producer, author, cultural critic and philanthropist. One of the international success stories of the modern musical genre Afrobeats, he also boasts the creation of a viral dance craze, the publication of two children’s books and a quest to revise the global view of Africa though his ‘T.I.N.A’ – This is New Africa – acronym and annual festival. Join Fuse for a night of musical, cultural and political critique.
This event is being held in conjunction with V&A East museum’s inaugural exhibition, The Music is Black: A British Story.
This talk will be held on Zoom, and ticket holders will receive a link to view live on the morning of the event. The talk will also be recorded, and available to view for ticketholders after the event.
