Classic unisex heavy cotton short-sleeve tee with original Fela Kuti "I Must Identify With Afrika Then I Will Have An Identity" design.
The Immortal Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti - (born 15, October 1938, Abeokuta, British Nigeria, died, 2 August 1997(aged 58) was a Nigerian musician, bandleader, composer, political activist, and Pan-Africanist. He is largely credited as the creator of Afrobeat, a Nigerian music genre that combines West Afrikan music with jazz, funk, highlife, and traditional Afrikan chants and rhythms. However, Fela never called his music Afrobeats but the more sophisticated Afrikan Classical Sound (according to Seun Kuti). 
Fela can be described as one of the great black musicians and political voices of the 20th century, his music fearlessly addressed sociopolitical and economic hardships instituted by the neocolonial government in Nigeria and by extension Africa as a whole. However, his music has international significance to black people everywhere who share a similar experience wherever they are found in the world. 
He fought with a virile zeal and an unflinching spirit for the liberation of Afrikan people even after the Muhammadu Buhari-led government in Nigeria killed his mother, arrested him over 200 times, burnt down his residence (Kalakuta Republic) and, destroyed his property, music, instruments, and equipment everywhere he went. This only made Fela even more defiant. 
Fela famously said, "I Must Identify With Afrika Then I Will Have An Identity." Like Fela as black people, our Afrikaness must be the defining and determining factor of our lives, because in it lies our greatest potentialities waiting to be awakened.
