The legendary musician Fela Kuti has been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys. He is the first African to get the award. His daughter said the award was "better late than never". She said her father didn't care about awards. She said being acknowledged by his people was what made him happy.
Fela Kuti was born in 1938. He revolutionized African music. He started Afrobeat, which mixed traditional rhythms, jazz, and funk to make a powerful sound. He was an amazing live performer and he toured the world. His concerts were a celebration of rhythm. His influence on music is still alive today.
