[soulsun100]

I miss fela so much. Thanks for posting this. Very nice job on the sound, too.

[lafleurchica]

The greatest musician ever in AFRICA. Thanks. I really enjoyed it.

[msteras]

Associating ALL black women and africans with aids would be like me associating all white people with Ronald Regan alzheimers and eating feces.  Stop the ignorance! Educate your mind WE ARE ALL HUMAN AND IF WE DON'T PROTECT OURSELVES WE CAN BE INFECTED WITH AIDS.

[demarrow]

[winnieegee]

The truth got him in trouble.He dared to reveal what the govt was doing and he refused to be bought off.

[assapopulus1972]

i love black women and fela kuti why did aids and hiv come along and destroy a peoples ?????

[elijahcapell23]

Biggest tune for fela, the one that got him into real trouble, this tune made things very uncomfortable for government of the day.viva nigeria the world's greatest people.

[irekandi]

does anyone have a clear recording of MASS, CRFJJ, ASBOP, CONDOM SCALLYWAGY. will pay for them. Is Egypt 80 still together? Ani, show, kunle, Kay, Eewo etc. HMMMM...Pebble st was indeed a shrine!

[irekandi]

Eleniyan was certainly something! and we all miss him and the shrine. But his legacy lives on in seun. Has anyone seen him lately? baba wey commot don return o! I remember in those days at the shrine when all seun sang was "lady". He is all grown up and when he performed in chicago in summer 2007, All I saw was fela. seun's dance steps, countenance, voice, demeanor etc were like his father's.

[hypamic]

greetings from scotland

[KrazeWorld]

R.I.P. Fela, may your fire burn in all our hearts

[qkeyd]

[vpadd45]

Baba 70, No other Musician can ever ever Replace your Spot in Africa, especially in Nigeria, it's unfortunate that we will miss you for ever physically but abami eda man lives forever spiritually, and am 100% sure that Obasanjo will never be a president of Nigeria again if you are still alive.

Fela Anikulapo Kuti AKA Abami eda Man, Baba 70, with all my Respect and all your Fans Respect Rest in Peace.

[kiun0602]

Friday nights: Jazz 38, nightclub on Awolowo Rd, Ikoyi, until 12a.m. Fela's performances showed his 'ajebota' side ('ajebota'- yoruba slang for person w/ westernized upbringing?) 12 a.m., Fela'd leave for the Shrine, his club in Ikeja. The audience would herd out after him to enjoy the real, raw, unfettered, god that Fela was. Sorry for those not lucky to see him in his element. Abami Eda lives on. He once said, "I can never die!" He never will.

[docsxm]

The first time i visited the shrine,some friends on Raimi street in Surulere took me there. I made it a point after to attend his shows in Lagos and I was his last show at the Apollo theater NYC. The man was great oh! A musical genius, a grass roots leader, and African Ambassador. I still miss him oh...

[ogajim]

Fela is the ultimate musician in the same mold as Bob Marley no doubt not just in Africa but the World over. RIP "bami eda"...OBJ well...nothing to say to you..

[cwr6]

so happy my life was able to cross the music of this man. It, my life that is, has certainly been heavily shaped by it. My thoughts and dreams altered by it. When I am sixty I am sure I will have the same appreciation.

[jujubella]

baba lives on,his music was so inspiring and very meaningful,always at the right time at the right moment. we need people like him. PETERS

[Olufunmbi]

He was a legend. He was everything African stood for. Thanks for the memories, Fela. You will never be forgotten

[136628168]

baba live on 4ever! his words live 4ever

[izozomo]

a true and honest nigerian that was never taken seriously, RIP BABA

[jeremaihogwo]

fela is a legend i do go shrine to see him when he is alive, may his soul rest in peace, greetings from madrid spain.

[cidahos2]

He was a great man that say the truth, may he soul rest in pace amen.

[osoba2002]

[kaymany]

for those you africans who understand music and its theory, you ll see that this guy is one blessing to Nigeria . unfortunately theres no replacement for him .

[bobjones7777777]

There will never be another Fela, but there are American bands like Antibalas, Aphrodesia, Eufoprquestra and Albino! who are helping to keep his legacy alive.

[kaymany]

[damy247]

Nice video, Abami eda lives on

[BlessedDayOfGlory]

What a great man. Fela is a role model. Thank you for the show, and thank you Fela for the beautiful song. I have been listening to Fela for 15 years, maybe more, and his music never wears out. He was a brave man unafraid to speak for the out for the people in an oppressive regime despite the severe consequences - which he did suffer. His lyrics are powerful and true. If only we could all care so much about each other as he did.

[richyblack]

Abami Eda!!!

Heaven is singing Fela's music!!!

[COMSOULS]

He was loved and appreciated more in death than in life. RIP. We love you.

[SonOfPeon]

thanks mr Fela for your fight and your great music i love it

[yinka72]

Yes, Fela was a great musician, but we must look beyong just the rhythm. He was trying to tell us about what was going to Africa. His prophecy is well and alive today. All hail the king!!!

Yinka-USA

[ariankaks]

Excelent! i really enjoy it, cheers from Mexico. 04/22/07

[3koboy]

I hated Fela growing up. I was young, did not understand him or his music or style. Then I dated this Nigerian girl who was into Fela, and it changed my whole perspective on music. I then went to my uncle who was also a huge fan and he gave me a tape that I listened to death and in 1984, I ws hooked forever. Live on Fela, we miss your music. If only you where alive today, Obasanjo would have been pissing in his pants.

[Dblocker82]

A legend for sure, Fela Abami eda. Rip

[ppepingtom3]

wakawakawaka! antwerp loves u!

[Emmdc]

It was nearly summer in 1988, this song had not yet been released and Fela was performing a live concert in University of Ibadan. He refused to sing "Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense" cos he never performs a recorded Album and opted to give us a taste of the future. BONN hit us like a wave and we went soft in its suave & rythmic massage. I miss him!!

[Emmdc]

aaah.....what memories this song bring!!. I am absolutely carried away in nolstagic fevour and euphoria just listening to Fela's song - (BONN:Beast Of No Nation).

[duronski]

This ia an excellent tribute to the legendary Fela Kuti. I appreciate the time and effort. Thanx

[itualee]

His Soul in heaven reside.Against guns and batons basket mouth continue to hassle the ruling class even in everlasting sleep.

[SoulTooSoul]

Fela is the founder of Afrobeat. It is an African style of music that is based from James Brown's soul and funk. Fela also drew from jazz and Nigerian highlife music. Fela took on political issues and corruption in the Nigerian government. Fela became a cult figure throughout the world. He achieved international status. His music is so profound. His name still compands repect and honor.

[hardbody99]

why did Fela die so soon, infact why is it that geniuses who affect us faster and better like Nestar Marley, Tosh, etc die so early in life...Baba Forever

[garryageez]

fela fearless warrior fighter of corruption and oppression R.I.P. BABA.

[dalmatino77]

Thank you Fela from all over the world, specially from Croatia. small country, but with big supporters!

Peace to all people

[palmcircle]

Yeh, rest in peace BABA! may your positive Vibes continue to bless us...Pce

[taosikoya]

Baba 70. why do call him that name...anyone?

[unkelkrackyl]

In Nigeria and all around the west coast of africa,fela was and is still being regarded as the father of the people because he represented the masses,was for the people and certainly died for the people,forget what the media said about H.I.V and stuff,it was a well planned propaganda by the late dictator(sunny) and his fellowers

[rcvdfrom]

very nice :)

fela is the man

[Surajo]

A true visionary who 20 years ago was informing Nigerians through his music that we are heading nowhere. Listen to what he has been saying and compare it to what is happening now in Africa as a whole.

[BelovedSpear]

Fela's up on iTunes, if you look. Not an exhaustive collection, but a good place to start. I've been a fan since picking up tapes from a vendor in Ibadan, and seeing him at the Kilimanjaro in DC in the 90's.

[nudlrudl59]

musik vom feinsten, einfach sensationell, danke, fela für die angenehmen stunden mit deiner musik

[WOKIWOK]

great

[slowjam25]

The Great Fela Kuti!!!

[rberding]

I lived and worked in Nigeria 1973-1976. I have been to Fela's house. Great felows without any fear for any

lousy Nigerian government offical. I lost his records and

I am pleased to see them again on Youtube. I'am Dutch and live now on paradise island St. Lucia (Caribbean).
