Fela Anikulapo Kuti s eldest child, Yeni Kuti, was at the Silverbird Cinema to take questions from journalists who came to see a sneak preview of Finding Fela , one of the newest creative works on her father.

In the documentary, which opens with a scene from a concert of Fela in Berlin, Yeni speaks candidly about her father. Her brother, Femi is no less blunt. Their revelations are startling and you wonder how many persons can be as honest with intimate details concerning their parent.



The film is the work of Academy Award winner Alex Gibney, known for his gripping, deeply insightful documentaries including Taxi to the Darkside and Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room who delivers a straightforward and engrossing, biography of Nigerian musician and legendary activist Fela Kuti in Finding Fela.



The movie, which is billed for cinema release across Nigeria on Friday, October 17 will premiere at the New Afrika Shrine today, Sunday, October 12 as the part of the activities to kick off the 2014 Felabration, which will run from October 12 to 19. Finding Fela is distributed in Nigeria and Ghana by Silverbird Film Distribution West Africa Limited.

According to the producers, Finding Fela tells the story of Fela Anikulapo Kuti s life, his music, his social and political importance. He created a new musical movement, Afrobeat, using that forum to express his revolutionary political opinions against the dictatorial Nigerian government of the 1970s and 1980s.



His influence helped bring a change towards democracy in Nigeria and promoted Pan Africanist politics to the world. The power and potency of Fela s message is completely current today and is expressed in the political movements of oppressed people, embracing Fela s music and message in their struggle for freedom.

Shot in black and white and colour formats the movie showcases actual footages from Fela s life and times as well as revealing interviews from family members and cronies including Femi, Yeni and Seun Kuti, Bill T. Jones, Jim Lewis Rikki Stein, Lemi Ghariokwu, Sandra Isodore and Queen Kewe Anikulapo-Kuti to name a few.

- We have an abundance of talent actually so I think the time is enough and in terms of the selection so far so good although the results haven t come yet.
- (But) this is what exactly I want, a difficulty situation. We have no home games in the Asian Cup and I wanted to have an environment to fight, I want to fight against a team that is difficult to beat, he added of the step up in class of Brazil.
- One of the six changes will be Borussia Dortmund playmaker Shinji Kagawa, who will miss the Singapore fixture and is back in Germany after suffering concussion following a blow to the jaw against the Jamaicans.
- Brazil are also under new management following the World Cup with former skipper Dunga returning for a second stint after previously stepping down following the quarter-final exit at the 2010 finals in South Africa.
-  They have won their opening three matches, including a 2-0 success over arch-rivals Argentina in Beijing on Saturday, and are yet to concede a goal as they try to move on from the embarrassing 7-1 semi-defeat by Germany at their home tournament.
- Aguirre said he expects the Brazilians to dominate possession on Singapore s sandy pitch and wants to see his side pressure their opponents better after defensive lapses in the opening two home matches last month.
- We are going to take a 4-3-3 system as usual but we would like to make it compact, he said through a translator.
- We need to try and keep the defensive line of around 40 metres (from goal). For the last few games I think maybe we gave too much space in between (defence and midfield) so we would like to keep it compact.
- For Brazil, since Dunga took charge, three out of their four goals have come from set pieces so we need to be aware.
