The annual festival in celebrating the great fabled Afro beat singer, Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Felabration is around the corner.

Iszadore and Fela met in 1969 when he visited Los Angeles. She was his tour guide and along the line a relationship arose between them

Izsadore was not only Fela’s lover; she also motivated his pro-African beliefs. Fela once specified her as his teacher, ‘Sandra gave me the education I wanted to know,’ he said. She also
worked with Fela on a song titled, ‘Upside Down’ which Fela wrote for her to perform and that was the only song she recorded with Fela..

In 2012, Izsadore released a single on Nigeria where she featured two of Nigeria’s entertainers 9ice and Nollywood actress Dakore Egbuson.

She will deliver a keynote address on the topic, ‘Human Rights as My property’ alongside other speakers like Ayo Obe, Kunle Ajibade and Chidi Odinkalu while Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola the former Lagos state governor will be the chairman of the event.
