Fela Kuti Documentary PART 1

[ifaforetola]

He created the best out of nothing. He set up rehearsals despite no NEPA. It still sounded good.

[Dubconferencedotorg]

Why did he not wear pants?

[Tuff22]

@blackfeminist1 u r a true feminist lol

[algreensurdo]

A great voice for change. It's good that someone of such a privileged background didn't just join the gravy train but fought against the corruption killing his country. Not sure that his lifestyle endeared himself to many people though. I love him, pure charisma.

[oguname]

hey guys, i heard smth that fela said which was kind of an eye opener.. he called obansanjo and musa yaradua a thief... u see.. who knew that they wld become rulers, and see wat our country has turned into.. God fela u too much

[mickyoo1]

obasanjo was a thief as well in the late 70's and 80's also was the then yaradua, obasanjo was president as a military ruler then and he was a thief then mate

[joeldny]

its not that yar'adua. it was his elder brother

[nnamdieze87]

i don't respect abiola. He robbed nigeria

[nnamdieze87]

i believe in socialism becuase capitalism will eventually fail

[gooroo59]

You're an idiot

[endofsomething]

Fela was such a brilliant musician! More people should listen to his music...Just fantastic! not only that he used his voice and influence to fight corruption and injustice-somebody to admire! Up and coming bands should use him as an example instead of today's airbrushed politically correct fashion-bands!

[AfrikanLiberty]

What they don't teach you about Capitalism is.. Capitalism relies on the Oppression and Exploitation of someone else in order for the system to work.. hence why... THEY NEED US IN DEBT.. peace

[endofsomething]

You are correct. Africa knows this better than mostly any other country. But people power will always prevail. Fela knew this and gave a positive, empowering message to everybody that cared to listen, he, like Bob Marley and others helped, through music, to instill African pride and a firm sense of rising above oppression in his audience.

@AfrikanLiberty ... oooo... I see.... Let´s all go for Sharia laws.

[manwomanboogie]

@AfrikanLiberty i love you for that comment.

[phceidem]

@AfrikanLiberty As early as the 80s, fela already knew about the evils of capitalism, which included forced privatisation and purchase of a nation's resources for peanuts. It appears people who school abroad may not be more knowledgable i terms of academics, but have a better view of the world. As at the 80s, how many nigerians knew the IMF and its programs were deadly?

[nnamdieze87]

he's so funny. He has a sharpmouth

[RotoEvil]

WTF was that Scottish games shit all about?!?

[twistedbabydoll]

[chillyswillys]

Perdón. Lo tengo que decir en español...

¿Alguien ya se fijó que en YouTube algo o alguien bloquea el ingreso a la música de Fela Kuti?

¿A qué se debe esta censura?

¿Tanto daño le hace la cultura africana al sueño idiota de Bush y Blair?
