Not sure of the song name or album, but it's definitely Fela Kuti! You can't go wrong with any of his album, he's amazing...

Check out the documentary about him ''Music is the weapon'' for a great view of what he represents!

The absolute master of Afro beats. I'm glad younger musicians like Lagbaja are keeping afro beats substantially pure and progressive in it's uniqueness.

[idrissi2go]

how do you spell this songs name

[wigginsdesign]

FELA FELA! another musical genius of our time. His style of progessive african music was multi-leveled, deep and mesmwerizing. A Fela concert was llke, transitory spiritual ceremony & political rally. Deeply intense. It's again hard to explain to those who never seen him. He'd play for 30min. then talk for 15. Then play, then talk about thing we need to know.

[basketmouth]

Yes fela was a grate man who used music as a way to get his massage to the ppl but simply got more fostrated when the ppl did not seem to act on the massage , I do argree with a few ppl here yes he did think that he will leave 4ever and yes he did fuck himself to death and yes he can be very brutall , wether he died of aids is an open question what is not disputed though it that he was and still is the greatest musician to ever walk the surface of this earth

[SFFOOL76]

A musician who geniunly cared for people.

[jackyglesias]

Respect to you DjKalil for your excellent compilation (and your clear vision of such a bright star).

I hungerly await Classic afro beat 2!

[DjKalil]

Those who diefy him do not do him the justice of giving him his weaknesess and foolisheness as well as his incredible strenght and insight. A man who fought hard for the emancipation of Africa but allowed himself to be conned into the delusion that he was supernaturally empervious to AIDS, and screwed himself into an early grave.

[ANUOLUWAPO123]

In reality i would like to concor to your saying as we share a similar passion in afrobeat but as a nigerian who lived Fela and was frequent at his house and shrine in my fomative years of rascality and disobedience i question the factuality of the cause of his death, they say what they want to say , dont get me wront, it may be or may not be .

So no asumptions either for or against , in short the man died but his music will never die.I guess thats all that matters.

[DjKalil]

na so

[adunbarin4]

Right on sir. It saddens me to read somebody doubting the cause of Fela's death! It would seem that some of us still believe that Fela was superhuman in other matters aside from music. His brother, a foremost medical doctor in Nigeria, must have been defrauded into accepting the cause of his death. Fela's death ought to have been used to educated Nigerians on AIDS.

[Namaps]

Well said

[DjKalil]

His music and lyrics are incredibly powerfull examples of composition and political poetry, but listen to "Matress" or "Lady" and you see how consiosness stands up to those lyrics. Both my father and mother knew fela, and can attest to the fact that he could be both beneficent and cruel.

[DjKalil]

On another note. Fela was a human being above all else. A brilliant artist who redefined modern music, yes, but still just a human with all of our fatal flaws.

[DjKalil]

Musically speaking, to say that his music was non African music "flavored" with African traits is not at all fair. Even on a basic level, you would have to say that it was West African Music flavored by African music that had 'vacationed' in the Americas for 300 years. Deeper that that, there is no way to accurately tell weather Fela or James Brown influenced more of the other; especially with as much time that each musician spent on the others' continent.

[SoulTooSoul]

Fela was more than the originator of Afrobeat. His music was drawn from jazz, soul, funk, with a African flavor. He symbolized a new African attitude. He was singing about liberation and corruption in politics. Afrobeat was conscious music. Fela represented the African iconoclast. He was the voice of the masses. His torch has been passed on to Tony Allen (his drummer),and Femi (Fela's son). They continue the tradition to sing the message over the Afrobeat groove.

[gbeauvil]

love it

[dudukora]

afrobeat is the music with the message.

[y2kh8r]

That's great music.

[kevfrommars]

Afrobeat's still alive, so great, deep, funky, groovy...
