['The New Afrika Shrine is the open-air music hall in Agidingbi, Lagos, built in 2000 by Femi Kuti and Yeni Kuti to replace the original Shrine that had burned down. It is not a museum or a tourist stop but a working venue where the Kuti family still performs several nights a week, playing the Afrobeat rhythm that Fela created to crowds that range from Lagos students to visiting saxophonists from Brooklyn.', "Visitors come for the live music and the atmosphere: suya grills, plastic chairs and vendors fill the yard in front, while the hall behind is one enormous open-sided slab of painted concrete under corrugated iron. A raised stage sits at the far end, the Fela portrait wall on the left is photographed by everybody, and a small altar with Fela's image has incense lit before the band plays. Bar counters run along the perimeter, serving Star, Gulder, soft drinks, chapman and palm wine."]
