RED HOT + FELA (BRATION) 2013

     Ah yes FELA lovers, it's that time of year again... When we say happy birthday to the one-and-only FELA KUTI!

     FELABRATION goes down once again at The Shrine on Saturday, October 12, 2013. Stay tuned for a surprise DJ to be announced... Also, we will have a performance by Ugochi and the Ayodele Drum and Dance Ensemble. The Chicago Film Festival will also be celebrating with an after-party for its Spotlight Africa film series. Perhaps some famous actors in the house...?! Going to be an amazing party you don't want to miss...!
