On this episode of IN THE CUT, we’re joined by multidisciplinary artist and illustrator Jibola Fagbamiye, the creative force behind the new book FELA: Music Is the Weapon. Blending historical depth with surreal storytelling, the book captures the inspiring and complex life of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti in a way that feels both intimate and larger-than-life.
Jibola shares his favourite moments from the creative process, the bold choices that shaped the book, and his perspective on the myths and misconceptions surrounding Fela’s story. We also dive into the possibility of a film adaptation, and he leaves us with powerful gems of wisdom for young creators navigating their own journeys. This conversation is a must-listen for fans of music, art, and storytelling at the highest level.
