Events Description
Presented by Woke Studios Collective
In partnership with Creatorland Inc.
Get ready for an unforgettable night of music and celebration as we bring Felabration to Canada for the very first time, in official partnership with Felabration Nigeria.
Step into Felabration – Shakara, where Afrobeat is more than music — it is a movement. Inspired by the revolutionary spirit of Fela Kuti, this immersive cultural experience fuses art, conversation, and powerful live performances into one bold, unapologetic night.
This is not just a concert, it is a celebration of community power, a gathering of great minds, artists, dancers, and dreamers in honour of Afrobeat’s legacy and its future in Canada.
🌍 Experience the energy of Felabration in the North.
🎤 Live music from some of Canada’s most exciting Afrobeat artists.
🎨 A visual art gallery themed around resistance and collective healing.
🗣 A live panel on the politics of performance and the meaning of Shakara.
🍲 Local vendors, food, community activities, and vibes all night.
This historic event also forms part of Bell Fibe TV1’s hit documentary series, Afrosphere, an exploration of Afrobeat in Canada, entering its second season, with Canada-wide coverage of the night’s performances and impact.
You do not want to miss your chance to be part of a cultural moment that honours the past, electrifies the present, and makes way for the future by celebrating the power of community.
Felabration Canada – Shakara is more than a night out. It is a call to gather, to celebrate, and to see through the noise.
Bring your people. Bring your spirit. Let’s celebrate!
