Iyeoka Okoawo, spokesperson to Amenawon ...Foundation opens for Femi Kuti
Amenawon Foundation is proud to congratulate Iyeoka Okoawo for supporting Femi Kuti on his tour thru Boston. Iyeoka will be opening for Femi Kuti and this match-up will be a true powerhouse as the two Nigerians share the stage for the first time. Iyeoka is currently spokesperson to Amenawon Foundation, not unlike Femi Kuti who was appointed Goodwill Ambassador on June 6, 2002 by UNICEF. They called him an important figure in the global fight against HIV/AIDS and his appointment helped to broaden UNICEF’s reach to young people worldwide.
Amenawon Foundation's mission is to improve the livelihoods of rural Nigerians by advancing infrastructure, educational resources, and health awareness in order to support economic development, empower communities and promote sustainability. (NGO 501c3)
FEMI'S WIKIPEDIA ENTRY....
Olufela Olufemi Anikulapo Kuti (born 16 June 1962) popularly known as Femi Kuti, is an award-winning Nigerian musician and the oldest son of legendary afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti.
Femi was born in London to Fela and Remi Kuti and grew up in the former Nigerian capital, Lagos. His mother soon left his father, taking Femi to live with her. In 1977, though, Femi chose to move in with his father. Femi eventually became a member of his father's band.
Like his father, Femi has shown a strong commitment to social and political causes throughout his career, but he differs from his father in his religious views.
In 2001, Femi collaborated on his album Fight to Win with a number of U.S. musicians, such as Common, Mos Def, and Jaguar Wright.
In 2002, Femi's mother, who had played an influential role in Femi's life, died at the age of 60. Femi's 12-year-old son currently appears as part of his act, playing alto saxophone.
Femi Kuti's voice is featured in the videogame Grand Theft Auto IV, where he is the host of radio station IF 99 (International Funk 99, described as "playing a great selection of classics from West Africa, the US and elsewhere").
