The New African Shrine: Watch femi Kuti Rehearse with His Band Tomorrow Night

The Afrika Shrine is located in the Central Business District (CBD) which is within the heart of Ikeja.

You can come watch Femi Kuti rehearse with his band on Thursdays and can also catch him perform on Sunday night.

Prices for drinks have been regulated to make it affordable for everyone who comes to visit.

The Shrine thrives deep into the night. You can come out by 2am, drive over and still catch the vendors peddling cooked indomie, suya and bread and egg.

You can’t however ignore the cheap and bitters sellers.

The idea of a headquarters that doubled as a sanctuary most likely began during Afrika 70’s residency in the courtyard of the Empire Hotel, but soon enough Fela built his own venue and dubbed it the Afrika Shrine.
