In a recent interview with ARZ, Sarz revealed that he, too, draws inspiration from Fela Kuti's musical legacy and often incorporates samples from Fela's works into his own beats.
He said, “Recently, I listened to Fela’s catalog and I just find things I can sample or flip. Even in modern Afrobeats, you can tell his influence on a lot of us, from Burna Boy to Wizkid to Rema, and to the generation even coming. I’m sure they will still be inspired by the legend.”This acknowledgment underscores the timeless influence and relevance of Fela Kuti in shaping the sound and creativity of contemporary Nigerian music, demonstrating his continued impact on the evolution of the Afrobeats genre.
