I constantly listened to Funk International in hopes of finding this song on air. I really enjoyed going around the city with this sound as background(:

i am shoked by the comments. The music, his voice always sounds so serious, so urgent, so crucial. Nothing like an escapist 'high" or commercialized tune or other 'cafetaria music". Have you all gone mad????
Robert Nesta Marley O.M. emulated Fela in 'Could You Be Loved' in style.
I humbly value and hugely appreciate the improv musical style that I learned from listening and playing to Fela's 'Black President' release (when I was developing my own musical awareness many years ago).
Fela's blood carries on in strength. And his musical brilliance lives on in all of us who have had the extraordinary luck of absorbing his interestingly adept take on life.
loool this shit is funny as hell i love the part @2:13 lool.. "i wahn build house i dnt build house", so police man go slap your face she nah go talk. great song lool
DEM LEAVE SORROW TEARS AND BLOOD, DEM REGULAR TRADE MARK... oh yes, they always leave their regular trade mark anywhere they stepped SORROW TEARS AND BLOOD
Dem regular trademarks all over beloved Mama Africa, the Americas, the Caribean, Haiti ( oh Haiti!), europe = everywhere Africans are! Too many of dem trademarks. Too much dem taking our babies. Lets stop running/scattering and stand firm. Enough sorrow, tears, blood coming from Africans.
Ese o Baba Fela for your words of wisdom you left us while you were here. Now that your soul has transcended I honor your words and may Edumare bless your soul, Ashe...
Brother Fela Kuti is one of the best ever singers of the Afrobeat history.
Brother Fela was self-conscious and he wasn't scared of our enemies, this was a brother who dedicated his music on to us and I will never forget you my brother, Brother Fela Kuti.
I really miss Fella, but at least we have his great recordings. This song has always been one of my favorites of his, but it's a bit hard to use the term "favorite" for such a troubling piece of music. Thanks for the posting.
Fella Lyrics expose Nowadays with this Life Afro beat, in World Wide belt of commun tropical places, sometimes happen in Africa, another in South America Venezuela or India too,Live Life to the Full Swing´s dance
my gosh,,best for ever,,,i was blessed to hear this when i have 19 years,,,nd i still love it,,,too real,,,thats whats goin on around,,fuck the tittytaintment
no its only place holder music, Which means that its confirmed it was only in the demos that the magazines viewed for their previews and maybe for rockstars testing purposes, rather then having silence.
