History will never forget Fela. 🙌
During his lifetime, Fela didn’t win any Grammy Award.
But he still won a few reputable awards.
He discovered a music that changed African music forever.
He rejected industry rules, love songs, and easy party music.
He chose truth, and he chose heat.
In one year, Fela could drop multiple albums.
He stretched songs past forty minutes.
He let the message breathe and burn. 🔥
That kind impact cannot be ignored forever.
So The Recording Academy honored him with a “Lifetime Achievement Award.”
An award reserved for legends who changed music.
Afrobeats to the world 🌎🇳🇬
