This interdisciplinary edited collection delves deep into the philosophical, cultural, and political dimensions of Fela Kuti's work, examining his impact as not just a musical icon, but as a philosopher and champion of African indigenous knowledge systems.

Through 18 chapters organised in three sections -- Felasophy, Indigenous Knowledges and Culture, and Local and Global Politics-- the authors discuss Fela's decolonial philosophy (Felasophy) as a framework for understanding resistance in post-colonial Africa; the intersection of music, spirituality, and indigenous knowledge in African cultural expression; African epistemologies in debates on development, gender, and environmental ethics.
