Ecobankmobile *326# and Terra Kulture Relive ‘Fela’s Republic and the Kalakuta Queens’

Lagos, December 10, 2019 – Ecobankmobile *326# and Terra Kulture are reliving “Fela’s Republic and the Kalakuta Queens’ making this a December to remember. While ‘Fela and the Kalakuta Queens’ was majorly an exploration of the life of Fela Kuti and his wives, Fela’s Republic and the Kalakuta Queens has infused the celebration of the unapologetic and prophetic messages enshrined in his music into the original storyline.

Following the success of ‘Fela and the Kalakuta Queens’ in Lagos, Abuja, Cairo and Pretoria, Bolanle Austen-Peters Productions partnering Ecobankmobile *326# is reliving the sequel – ‘Fela’s Republic and the Kalakuta Queens’ to Terra Kulture audiences through the yuletide festive season.

In her comment, Bolanle Austen-Peters said “the play which first opened in Lagos in 2017 has now been shown in different countries across the continent. However, we’ve brought it back to Lagos because there has been a lot of clamour for that to be done. The sequel is just as exciting and the major twist to it is that the new play is a fusion of the Kalakuta Queens and Fela’s social messages.”

Having raised the bar with the local and international success of Saaro the Musical, Wakaa the musical, Queen Moremi the Musical, and others, Bolanle Austen-Peters Productions is set to thrill audiences with this new musical play at the Terra Arena, Victoria Island Lagos from December 14, 2019 to January 2020.
