This song go hard!!!! The true musician are never recognize unless they were puppets!!!!! Same as any real revolutionary take Marcus Garvey for example. You would not know the caliber of his work unless you studied him in depth and the world wide affect he had on Africans at home and abroad!!! Same with Fela aka Baba true field marshals cutting and clearing the battle field
He's d real African Lion,in d Dangerous Gov't Jungle,,,,,,,i miss d King Big time, Shango Olukoso Fire & Thunder human incarnate, hes not dead he lives in us all.....
why is he the greatest "african" musician of all time, he's the greatest period. I can't find an equal, the Beatles, no. He made african rhythms and jazz the same way a composer makes an orchastra. A musician that literally when toe to toe with injustice, had his body tattered and sacrificed for it,and kept going. Lyrics like a philosopher, an endless, danceable and groundbreaking groove, a one man political movement, declared his club and independant state...who else can touch that......
la gracia de este gran musico nigeriano es que dio a conocer los ritmos africanos con instrumentos electricos, vientos, teclados, jazz, etc y en los '70 cuando todo refloreció con fuerza.
Baba 70, one and only Person who cares about blackman problem, one tree cant make a jungle, u tried your best, missing u everyday of my life. May you finally rest in peace, and Naija Govt go rot in hell. Obasanjo and his freaking group.
That's very uncouth; and what's even more sad, your white masters who may not have asked you to be their willing slave may not be listening to your idiocy. Since your name is Akinsola perhaps we should go hire all the white enthusiasts and researchers who written on Fela's music to explain Fela's Nigerian pidgin and Yoruba to you? The album came out in April 1979, almost 30 years ago: how long have you been abroad -- two years?
@jamesakinsola you're either a fake or have lost your roots. However, I strongly believe you're a fake who's lost his roots. What part of this very well put together song don't you understand? This is a song that distinctly portrays the thinking of a large proportion of Africans, and you, with a Yoruba name, just decide to mock it. Alas! Maybe you need to change your name, if you don't want to belong to your roots. You annoy me.
Fela lives through Afrobeat. The music is informative, funky, jazzy, and soulful. Fela is an icon. He worked with Roy Ayers, and Ginger Baker. Fela was a poet, who spoke wisdom. He was an African radical. He was born into priviledge, but strove to help the under priviledged.
oe' yo tambien recuerdo a este man, cuando mi viejo trajo un Lp. que decia Fela "ransome" Kuti & Africa 70 W/Ginger Baker , musica con ritmo africano y pop que se bailaba en esa Lima de los 70' s , grande Fela.
