London-born Rikki Stein was a friend and then manager of the late Nigerian Afrobeat creator and activist Fela Kuti from 1983 till the artist’s death in 1997. Stein, 80, has managed a range of African artists over the years from late Algerian star Rachid Taha to Guinea’s national dance company Les Ballet Africains. But he is best known for his work with Fela and for managing his legacy alongside the Kuti family. Stein recently completed his memoirs and is “currently navigating the intricacies of the publishing industry.”
