Original afro beat. He was a creative and an entertaining musician. His music cut across all ages. I hope his music continues to reap dividends like other dead musicians in "civilized" societies.
Opened my mouth, sang jeun ko ku, sang na fight o, sang who are you re, sang alu jon jon ki jon, I've incurred debt , bought different alcoholic beverages( beer, stout, ogogoro, whisky), we drank, now my pocket is empty, started breaking bottles because we are having a good time, each bottle is worth 6 pence (sisi sisi), the debt you want me to incur I have incurred, hope you have heard. Essentially the above is the gist of this song

I like the beat of this song. It has some small guitar chords thown in for rhythm,....my friend "idris" introduced me to fela kuti's music and this is the only song that I like so far. the way that the song ended with everything coming together is the peak for me. the girl on the cover is also nice......Im going to go home and see if I can do the rhythm guitar on this song or at least learn it by ear.
R.I.P Great Comrade and Son of Africa. You are FOREVER with us. The previously uniformed are now in civvies...and still robbing us blind. But, Baba, the M.O.P is growing stronger with each passing day.

NICE. A new one to me. This is such great stuff. Fela always has such a BadAss Groove! Has he ever recorded a bad song? Thanks for all your Fela posts, Anakulapo.
