According to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, to be eligible, artists are required to have released their first record 25 years prior to induction. Ballots were sent to an international voting body of more than 1, artists, including current living Inductees, historians, and members of the music industry.
Fela was first announced as a nominee for the award in February. And soon after the announcement, a massive campaign to solicit votes for the Nigerian legend began on social media with support from celebrities such as Burna Boy, Davido, Don Jazzy, Banky W amongst others.
The campaign gave Fela an early lead. Fela is remembered as an influential icon who was brave enough to boldly voice his opinions on matters that affected the nation through his music. The museum documents the history of rock music and the artists, producers, engineers, and other notable figures who have influenced its development. You must be logged in to post a comment.
