Late Afrobeat pioneer, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, has been inducted into the 2025 Grammy Hall of Fame for his 1976 classic album, “Zombie”.
The Recording Academy announced the induction during the week, noting that the album met the criteria for recordings with “lasting qualitative or historical significance.”
Only works released at least 25 years ago are considered for the honour.
Zombie now joins other notable entries such as albums by Jay-Z, Santana, and Cat Stevens in the Grammy Hall of Fame collection.
Fela’s eldest son, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, shared the news via his official X handle on Wednesday. (Guardian)
