During his music education in London, he played with his band Koola Lobitos (1963–1969), before returning to Nigeria to start a new journey. He experimented with jazz, highlife, afro-soul and folksongs, which resulted in a new genre of music called Afrobeat for which the legend is known all over the world. Fela performed to large audiences around the world. One of the subject-curators of the John Randle Centre approached the Fela Anikulapo-Kuti family to loan some objects from his memorial museum, Kalakuta Museum; a pair of shoes and a costume with embroidery of the ancient Egyptian symbol for conscience were approved for loan.
