All these johnny come lately star struck popularity mesmerized go with the flow talking Americans, shut up and listen to the message. Many are still crafted by the wave this great musician was swimming against; I bet if he settled in America he would have been buried alive.
Egypt 80 music is deeper than Afrika 70, lyrically AND musically, even though due to circumstances sometimes less well recorded. (this production however sounds great..) Whatever you think of Professor Hindu & co, Fela's music had a spiritual dimension. The music conveys this clearly..
ur a funny guy i didnt no u posted this gem. i actually prefer fela with egypt 80 his lyrics were more powerful. to me many people sacrifice what fela was saying for his music and i prefer his lyrics more than anything. but his later works sound like mozart, james brown and tito puente all got together to play with an african village.
Even more, there's a really ravishing strangeness in it. Something alien yet incredibly familiar. Fela Kuti is sure something...

Beautiful tune. Deep, ageless, with stretched rhythms and trumpets like those of some old vanished army. Sweet bitterness indeed...
