"finkelsmak ", thanks for the response to "afroda3" who has spent so much time making the same comments on all videos about this broadway show.If you feel so bad about the show, could you please do something in tribute to Fela you think would be better. That will be much better than just condemning this great effort which is at least getting the word out about a great musical genius who deserved much more global recognition than he got when he was alive.
This show does exactly what Fela lived for. It makes you want to go out "there" and change the world. "he who carrys death in his pocket, no man can kill" it doesnt get any better then this. The is Musical theater for a change! This is musical theater at its best!
you are right, this world is their playground but i have the right to manifest my outrage cos there is more to us than just entertainment...it ll be like those going to church for 2000 years and waiting for the jesus that they killed to come save them ...thats dogma to me!...
this crap is just commerce...FELA said music is for revolution,the struggle is too important for us to afford these diversions...look what they did to MANDELA,they carried him away from the struggle by mellowing him down and i feel the same for this crap... broadway hollywood,all devil creations il lived in america for 20 years i seen fela live in 91
this is not a tribute..this is capitalism at its best...
FELA is a true king he wouldnt go for this..he fought this exact same shit all his life
Fela was one of the greatest and most influential African artist. In fact, like Bob Marley, Fela in death has become an icon. His Afrobeat sound has been discovered by a whole new generation. Fela was full of contradictions. He was militant, sexist, political, and a visionary. His sons Femi and Seun continue to carry on the Afrobeat tradition. This play is a testimony to Fela's legacy. I had the opportunity to see Fela perform. Bill . Jones has made an iconoclast, (Fela) mainstream.
I agree I love his Music and I found out about him in 2006 when I watched a clip of the Essence awards giving a tribute to Mos Def and Dave Chapelle who started it off said that Mos taught him about Felo Kuti :)!! That's when I first heard his name and found out about him and Afrobeat on youtube. I love the show!! I wanna go see it on broadway. I hope they come to Canada as well.
just saw this today. So amaaaazzing
