all I know it sounds amazing... ♥

a dislike? no waaaaaaaaaay

[odugudes]

@xhashbluntzx Does that surprise you? Remember the colonial institutions Fela opposed are defended by some people - the same people that wanted (but failed) to destroy him. As Fela says, when these rats go bit cat tail, na only trouble dem go get. It's the 1% against the 99%.

When (AFRICANS HOME AND ABROAD) cats sleep, the rat (EUROPE) go bite his tail. wake up you mighty LIONS.

@olumart1

According to your profile, you're 41. If Fela was still alive he'd be 73.

@olumart1 so do you mean that when FELA was first starting, nobody was feeling his music?

[ganjaweedow]

shame real music like this doesn't exist anymore...we are being tormented by the same old generic noise making no message scam artists called musicians..

[RWright2006]

@ganjaweedow

Good music is still being made, you just need to know where to look for it.

[ganjaweedow]

@RWright2006 yeah i suppose......so what kind of music are u into?

Thank you for the upload. It's great to see how quickly people are uploading Fela with the new 15 minute limit. Now we just have to pressure YouTube to raise that to 60 minutes so we can get all his stuff in complete length.
