Fela Anikulapo-Kuti along with his GREAT BAND ,SINGERS AND DANCERS ARE JUST THE BEST I HAVE HEARD,DANCE AND SING IN MY LIFE. The drums,congos,horns and strings stay with me all the time. FEMI and SEUN are truly the sons of this great man for they have picked up the mantle and carry it on to the next level. There is only One Fela.
SENSACIONAL! Ouvir ou falar de Fela Kuti é discutir um passado que - por incrível que pareça - é bem atual para qqr país, seja no Brasil de Sarney/Jader/Maluf/Collor, seja na Nigéria de Obasanjo ou em qqr outro lugar do mundo. A corrupção, manipulação/mídia, opressão, abuso de poder, conluio entre governantes/empresários ou qqr outra ação nesse sistema sórdido estão sempre de mãos dadas. Era justamente isso que FELA KUTI fazia questão de maximar em suas músicas e idéias: injustiças. Viva FELA!
The master composer at work.He played so many instruments at d shrine d only instrument dat i don't recall him playin was guitar.his son's seun dancing is just a watered down version of d original.
I am lucky I saw Fela perform many times. I even watched him rehearse when Kalakuta Republic was located at Idi-Oro. The gate was always open, and we used to stop by after school.
@diisopropylamine Fela was know at UC Berkeley..i believe he played at th Auditorium in Berkely USA.in the eighties..Goldsmith College in south-east London..New- Cross had a plaque for him..as a former student there when he was in the UK...
Fela in full control of his band...from the London school of music hall of fame. I hope that the British government will put up a plaque in his memory where he lived in the 1960s at Elephant and Castle.
Thanks to videos like this there won't be no debate in the future about the colour of this great man.now my kids have an idea what life was for me in the 1970's at the shrine
