La Petite Halle kicks off its very first Fela Session, a rhythmic afrobeat jam session led by Fab Smith. Expect a night of live music and dancing in the spirit of Fela Kuti, featuring hypnotic grooves, sharp brass sections, and a communal trance energy. For this inaugural edition, a secret guest from the Kuti family will join the stage, with their identity to be revealed on the day of the event. The session is open to musicians, dancers, and listeners alike.
