In anticipation of the much praised musical Fela! opening at the National Theatre in London on the 6th November 2010, Lebrecht Photo Library has newly acquired some very rare photographs of the great musician and pioneer of Afrobeat Fela Kuti, relaxing at home in Lagos with his many wives in 1978. Taken by the photographer Mike Wells.
