I ran into Fela in Amsterdam, While on tour in 1981, From a distance he looked like one of my cousins. I run up to grab him (thinking he was my cousin still) Two really big brothers tell me to stay back, and that this is Fela Kuti! I tell them he looks like my cousin. Fela comes over and gives me a big hug and says "Hey cousin!" then invites me to their waiting area. He tells me the story of how the police in Nigeria had thrown his Mom off a roof, he gave me a copy of this record.. Peace
Only ever had the start of this on some tape without hearing any vocal.Jus thought it was somekinda jazz tune i always loved.Jus found out its Fela,the mans a genius. FELAAAAAAAA!
@logprome3 listen to the tune and dont worry what people say...
