Nigerian musical superstar Fela Kuti was honoured with a new blue plaque in Shepherds Bush.
The historical marker was unveiled at 12 Stanlake Road where singer and saxophone sensation Fela first lived when he came to London to study music at Trinity College in 1958.
The plaque was unveiled by the Nubian Jak Community Trust alongside representatives from Hammersmith & Fulham Council.
The honour was bestowed on him by the English Heritage, which attached a blue plaque on 12 Stanlake Road residence at Shepherd’s Bush, where Fela first lived when he came to London to study music.
In 1958, Fela arrived London from Nigeria to study medicine. But he decided to study music instead at the Trinity College of Music.
The rest is history.
Fela has now joined other notable music artists who have been so honoured with the blue plaque by English Heritage.
