The Music and Activism of Fela Kuti: a Selective Annotated Bibliography Kyle Etges MUS 6620- Dr
The Music and Activism of Fela Kuti: A Selective Annotated Bibliography Kyle Etges MUS 6620- Dr. Stephen Shearon December 6, 2017 This is a selective annotated bibliography concerning the music and activism of Fela Kuti, a Nigerian saxophonist, composer, bandleader, activist, philosopher, and historical figure. His lyrics are known for speaking out against oppression and corruption in the Nigerian government in the late 20th century, which garnered widespread popularity and notoriety. Additionally, Fela is credited with fostering the musical style “Afrobeat.” Sources pertaining to Fela’s musical development, examples of his political ideology and movements, and how his activism influenced his music are included. Most sources are also biographical, as it is agreed upon by scholars to be inseparable from his music and activism. In order to avoid confusion between Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, his mother Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti, and his son Femi Kuti, this bibliography will refer to these figures by first name rather than last name. This is customary in most of the sources included. In the annotations, references are made to specific events in Fela’s life that shaped his politics and music. The primary example is the raid of February 1977, when Nigerian military stormed Fela’s home with the intent to arrest him. Fela sustained heavy injuries, many of his wives were assaulted, and his mother died from injuries sustained in the attack. This is often marked as a turning point in Fela’s politics, music, and attitude toward Nigerian military leaders. References are also made to his arrest in 1984. En route to Los Angeles, Fela was stopped and searched at the airport in Lagos. -

São Paulo 2018 Banca Examinadora ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Trabalho financiado pelo Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq). Dedico esse estudo à memória de minha avó e de meu pai, assim como à força de minha mãe e minha tia. Foram seus ensinamentos e coragens que tornaram tudo possível. AGRADECIMENTOS As diversas fases que envolvem a realização de uma pesquisa e o processo de elaboração textual fazem com que a pessoa inserida nesse redemoinho vá gradativamente se isolando do pleno convívio social, voltando-se cada vez mais ao interior de seu próprio estudo. A única forma que encontrei para não me afogar nessa espiral tempestuosa foi recorrendo às pessoas que me lembraram de que eu não estava sozinho nesses caminhos e me demonstraram que, na verdade, a escrita de uma dissertação somente é possível por conta das redes coletivas de apoio que se formam em torno do pesquisador. Sendo assim, gostaria de agradecer a essas pessoas que tornaram meus estudos possíveis e, acima de tudo, suportáveis. Inicialmente, agradeço a meus familiares. O incentivo e a estrutura que me forneceram garantiram que as todas as dificuldades fossem vencidas.
