FATAI ROLLING DOLLARS
The iREP Documentary Film Forum, the Committee for Relevant
Art, CORA and the Freedom Park collective will celebrate the legendary life of
octogenarian "Kokoma" Highlife musician Fatai Olagunju, aka Rolling
Dollar who passed away on June 12, 2013.
The phenomenal maestro will be celebrated in "FATAI
ROLLING DOLLAR: Celebrating the Essence of the Legend" through a night of
reflection on his life and career on Wednesday June 19 at 5pm at the Freedom
Park, 1 Hospital Road by Broad Street, Lagos.
"The special tribute includes reviews of his career;
screening of perhaps the only documentary film on his life titled ROLLING
DOLLAR: A LEGEND UNPLUGGED, produced and directed by Femi Odugbemi and released
in March; and a session of musical tributes by his fellow veteran highlife
musicians, and many young ones whose careers he affected, and to some extent
helped to shape by his own exemplary service to the music industry. And people
should also come with their One-Minute tribute – in Poem, Song; Chant;
Reflection or other forms of tribute," announced Jahman Anikulapo, culture
activist and former editor at The Guardian for The iREP Documentary Film Forum,
iREP, the Committee for Relevant Art, CORA and the Freedom Park collective.
