    Zombie: Fela Anikulapo-Kuti Inducted Into 2025 Grammy Hall Of Fame

    Legendary Afrobeat singer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti has been posthumously inducted into the 2025 Grammy Hall of Fame for his groundbreaking 1976 album, Zombie.

    The Grammy Hall Of Fame was established by the Recording Academy’s National Trustees in 1973 to honour recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance that are at least 25 years old.

    Inductees are selected annually by a special member committee of eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts.

    Accepting the award on behalf of his family, Fela’s eldest son, Femi Kuti described it as an “honour”.

    He said, “Our father’s legacy lives on. We are honoured to accept this Grammy Hall of Fame award on behalf of Fela Anikulapo Kuti.

    “His music continues to inspire & unite people across the world.”

    Fela’s Zombie is an iconic Afrobeat album that blends infectious rhythms, jazz, and funk with sharp political commentary.

    Its fierce critique of blind obedience and state violence remains strikingly relevant, fuelling movements like the #EndSARS protests and inspiring activists worldwide.

    Nearly 30 years after his death, Fela’s legacy endures as a symbol of resistance and cultural pride.

    His Afrobeat rhythms have transcended borders, influencing modern African stars like Burna Boy and Davido, while global artistes like Coldplay and Alicia Keys draw from his sound.
