<p>With each passing year, Fela Kuti’s music only seems to get more urgent, relevant and appreciated. The annual celebration of the Nigerian bandleader, horn player and activist continues with<a href="http://felabration.net/concert.html"> live music from the New Afrika Shrine</a> nightly this week, all streamable via <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FelabrationNG/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/felabrationng/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. <br> </p> <p>The theme for this year is “Viva Nigeria, Viva Africa.” The event has expanded to an “arts competition,” a dance or “Afrobics competition,” as well as a "debate," which doesn't appear to be making it to the internet, which is too bad because the prompt was "COVID-19: A Blessing..." and that sounds fascinating.</p>
