⁣SANDRA IZSADORE is a singer composer/author/activist who during the early 1970’s met and revitalized Africa’s revolutionary genius FELA ANIKULAPO-KUTI. Sandra has been featured in the Tony Award Broadway Musical “Fela” portrayed by Michele Williams of “Destiny Child”, Saycon Sengbloh and Paulette Ivory. She has been featured in two documentaries one entitled “Beware of Mr. Baker” a documentary about drummer Ginger Baker, and a documentary from Academy Award winner Director Alex Gibney entitled “Finding Fela”. Upon meeting Sandra, Fela’s music and political ideas changed. Thus Afro-Beat was born. Sandra is the only featured vocalist on Fela’s music. The song entitled Upside Down, was a hit in 1977, and is considered a classic today. It is through her single-handed influence as a midwife for this genre, Sandra Izsadore is called The Queen Mother of Afro-Beat. Sandra Izsadore is immortalized in Fela’s own Biography “Fela Fela This Bitch of a Life” written by Carlos Moore, one chapter is dedicated to her. Sandra has given voice to a cause by doing what she knows best using her voice to sing for positive change. True to her innate cause of humanitarianism Sandra continues to fight for World Peace, Justice and Equality for all.
