{{subst:Afc decline||cv=no|sig=yes}Leon Ligan-Majek, popularly known as Kaleta, is an Afrobeat [1] musician and composer.

Kaleta was born in Porto Novo in the Republic of Benin, and grew up in nearby Lagos, Nigera. Early musical endeavors centered around church-based bands, until he seized the opportunity to perform with legendary Nigerian musicians Fela Kuti’s [2] Egypt 80 [3] and King Sunny Ade’s [4] African Beats [5] in the 1980s. Kaleta moved to the United States in 19??, and began touring with Femi Kuti [ref], then Lauryn Hill [ref].

During the course of his career, Kaleta has garnered a reputation for being one of the most approachable of Fela Kuti’s former band mates, in terms of availability and willingness to collaborate with other bands and artists. Collaborations to date include Akoya Afrobeat [ref] and Zongo Junction [ref] – both grassroots Afrobeat bands based in the U.S. Kaleta has lent his songwriting talents to both of the bands’ repertoires, as well as recording and performing live with them. He has also mentored scores of young musicians and Afrobeat enthusiasts from the New School, Berkley College, and other institutions.

In addition, Kaleta has supplied his immense talents to the New York-based band, Zozo Afrobeat. Through their music, the band pays homage to the Afrobeat legends with whom Kaleta has played and toured throughout his career: Fela Kuti and King Sunny Ade. In keeping with the Afrobeat tradition, Kaleta writes songs which are both socially and politically provocative, while maintaining a keen sense of humor and a message of hope.

The debut CD, Kaleta Jaa was recorded in Nigeria and New York, and was released in 2003. Following the release of the CD, Kaleta recorded and released CDs with Akoya Afrobeat and Zongo Junction, as well as the newly formed Zozo Afrobeat. He began work on a new CD, entitled “Felabration”, in 2008. The CD is a tribute to legend Fela Kuti, and is currently still in production. Sidney Mills, of Steel Pulse fame, was brought in to do the mixing for the album in October, 2011. [ref]

In early 2010, Kaleta and Zozo Afrobeat released the video for their song “Mugabe”, in which Kaleta denounces Zimbabwe’s President Robert Mugabe as a killer, and calls for his resignation. A review of the video was published days after it’s release on “The Afrobeat Blog” [ref].
