Yo conservo el disco de este tema, de los antiguitos de vinyl. Lo compré en 1973, pero como yo acostumbraba grabarlos en cinta, mi disco quedó intacto. Qué buena rola.

[HardLuckGambler]

amazing probably the most amazing shit ive ever seen

[Dubconferencedotorg]

great :)

[ReelisticRecords]

I dont understand it but I definitely enjoyed!

[carabiche]

Fela was a risk taker. as someone who grew up in the corridors of African politic, you do not mess with those mindless Mafiosi. and he was constantly taunting them without any form of protection. I mean it was like a child pulling the lion's tail inside a cage. I wouldn't advice anybody to do that.

[babababa143]

@carabiche My kind of man :D

[Outreachat]

So difficult to believe now that the sheer physicality of Fela girls' dance routines originated with Hubert Ogunde! In 1970, Ogunde launched a whole team of female callisthenic dancers who travelled Nigeria with him on tours; that was what Fela was copying when he introduced stage dancers on his shows! Apart from Ogunde, the magician Moses Aladokun also had such acrobatic dancers, and they were a sight to behold. When the girls lean back till their backs touch the ground, that's vintage Ogunde!

[zookat]

@Outreachat  Thanks for that insight.

[olatunde07]

i was priviledged to have been in his presence and to have recieved a yabbis from him which i will cherish and tell my future children and grand children.a great pan africanist,totally down to earth and in spite of what some see as irresponsibility was actully a strict disciplinarian

[glg20decoy]

Esta musica de Africa 70 sonó en Peru en los años 70 era muy niño, pero aun recuerdo, muy buena musica, no supe mas

[zookat]

Sí, mi amigo, el afrobeat Fela es encantador y palos con usted una vez que usted oye no importa que tan joven que eres. Me siento afortunado de haber crecido escuchando a él y de haberlo visto realizar numerosas veces, sobre todo viendo el original AFRIKA-70 banda en vivo!

[12345pedotote]

Presumido, que super chingon..Fela es el MAISTRO. el poder lo tiene el pueblo.

[kauzachun]

[Spongyb]

Imagine this 1971.. Older than me and was awed to see the 2nd dancer dropping it like it's hot... LOL..

[Markinho65]

Amigos, o el q' ha retirado el video de AFRICA '70 por favor vuelvan a ponerlo, por q'es uno de los mejores q' he podido escuchar de Fela Kuti, le estare eternamente agradecido, un amigo de Perú, gracias.

[zookat]

Estimado amigo de Perú:

Me alegro de que disfrutan y aprecian eso.

Gracias!

[MoManny]

This was awesome. Thanks so much for your Fela vids!

[zookat]

MoManny...

Thanks for the thanks!

Glad that you like them.

[MoManny]

Je'nwi T'emi literally means "Let me say my own side/piece." Used mostly when someone is trying to shut you down or pacify you in an argument and you're insistent on being heard, you will then say, "My frien, Je kin nwi Temi."

[afriqueboy2008]

love it love it yes

thank you e she o

[zookat]

YEAH-YEAH!

[zookat]

Yes, the DVD is available.

Plug "Ginger Baker In Africa" into your search engine to locate sources for buying it.

[sundaramaji]

FANTASTIC. Is this video by Baker available commercially? Title?
