This Friday Finding Fela opens in Santa Fe, Berkeley, L.A., San Diego, San Francisco, Atlanta, Boston, Nashville, Honolulu, and of course Okayafrica & Okayplayer are thrilled for Philly's premiere (which you can purchase your tickets to here).

So far we've dug up interviews with Questlove and TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, the Best Fela Kuti Mashups, our favorite videos from Red Hot + FELA, and the iconic album art of Ghariokwu Lemi.
