j'ai acheté un album début 1980 avec ce titre mais je ne trouve pas le second morceau l'autre face quelqu'un peut-il m'aider ne serait ce que le nom du morceau peut etre qu'il est sur youyou tube help me
Travelling through coastal West African countries(Ghana, Togo, Benin etc) i can 100% relate to what he's saying in this song, i shook my head and laughed so hard when i first heard this song. So sad how things haven't changed on the continent from Fela's days to nowadays
Fela wasn't talking about race, he was talking about *culture*.
Africa, just like most places with lots of people, it's dripping in culture. Fela was one of the people who told africans to be proud of their culture, rather than to view it as some sort of "savage" "primitive" stuff to avoid.
Meanwhile, since the 1900s, the european arts scene has been fascinated by african art. Lots of it was stolen from the sack of benin.
Africa lost perhaps it's paramount musical artist. The death was AIDS related and served to further underscore the deep tragedy of that disease's stranglehold on the continent.
fela was ... i'm sorry, IS a bad muthf_ckah!! he was a musical savant, a poet, a prophet, an activist, a lover of afrika's historical roots & a lover of afrikan people ... FELA LIVES!!
I am an Indian (understand & speak broken english & quite a lot of Yoruba) who lived in Lagos (close to Fela's residence in Ikeja) between 1982-1995, I swear Fela is Living Legend.... no matter what you say. But as it is said A GREAT MAN IS NEVER HONOURED IN HIS OWN NATION IN HIS LIFETIME. That was what happened to Fela.
He was more than just superstar. Superstars are owned by companies, systems, etc ... This guy was beyond system, institution. He was one of few truly free people. His freedom comes from inside. Superstars don't have balls to confront anything. They earn good money and they live dream life. Felas life was everything else than good. He payed high price for being FREEEEE. And that's what you all CAN learn from him. No matter African, American, European. It's GLOBAL message. Freedom before system.
I'm so enjoying this music right now even though I'm supposed to be sleeping. I love being a member of black humanity. This is SOUL music. It pierces me to the core. Ashe!
And Before Afrobeat Fela used to play KULA LOBITO ( a African folk songs) and went to Ghana where he learnt about Highlife and inculcated that into his music which later became known as AFROBEAT... Fela and Bob Marley LIVES on as great legends of our time...
Lots of saxophone in Fela's music with drums while Reggae has lots of bass and guitar. Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingston formed "The Wailers". Also the "Rastafarians"( millenary African faith, revived Marcus Garvey who suggested a mass emigration back to Africa), both in the lyrics and in the African nyah-bingi drumming style (heartbeat style.) A very important fact is that Fela and Bob Marley believed in the "ROOTS" and fighting for "FREEDOM" of the BLACK RACE with their Music.
Bob Marley and Fela were inspired by the oppression, corruption and social problems in their societies.They are both great legends in their various music genre... Fela popularised Afrobeat ( a combination of african highlife,african folk music etc.) "Reggae" was coined in Jamaica to identify a "ragged" style of dance music,its roots in New Orleans rhythm 'n' blues. Bob Marley popularised Reggae ("mento" music, a fusion of European & African folk dance music,evolved into "ska" & "rock steady")
This is why I love my true African people that know how to debate with a comment that can be given in a rich dialect. I embrace Africa we have allowed other nations to divide us socially, economically and to rape our minds. We are (Africans) are great achievers that are majestical in whatever we connect ourselves to. Africa lives in all of our heart. She is Mother of every nation!
Thank you for educating Dreamwks.He has no understanding of the truth.
dreamwks you are the one who is unfamiliar with the subject matter. Marley did not sing mostly about women and love, he sang about it just as much as he sang about Africa, Slavery, Liberation, Struggles and any other matter affecting blacks at the time. Y ou obviously dont know much about Bob Marley, so dont comment on what you dont know... Plus Marley and Fela are just two different artistes....Markey=reggare, Fela=jazz,funk etc.
"I don't know why any one would compare Fela and Marley"... "I don't know why anyone would compare Nas and Jay-z"... "I don't know why anyone would compare red apples and green apples"... "I don't know why anyone would compare the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, they're both obviously far more different then similar."
Plus you don't even listen to Fela who you claim you know so well, he would never be about divding himself from Bob Marley, James Brown, John Coltrane, George Clinton, etc. And claiming Bob Marley was a commercial sell out. That's just dumb. War, No more trouble, slave driver, Duppy Conqueror, One love, on and on, your a fool to say that. Your trying to start tish but that's okay. Water No Get Enemy
Dreamwks check Peter Tosh: If your a black man your an African. It doesn't matter your nationality, class, how you studied music, etc. Both Fela and Bob are Pan African giants in the world of music, if you can't see that you're doing something wrong. Your not about unity among Africans you're about having "special" knowledge about divided individuals.
i believe u my guy,i believe in the words of fela,africans have forgetten their roots,i am glad that i knew and discovered his songs,even some not yet released.i hope one day we can hear them on the net.
solidarity or insolidarity,wetin we want na to make life better for people in afrika,make european and american no dey encourage their leaders to they bring money for them.i beg.....tel your so called world power,if not one day go be one day wey katakata go burst.
most of africa is still colonized. who the fuck you think is supporting wars there? africans? or some shitty foreign intelligence agencies, that are the right hand of their governments. Africa is still colonized and America and Europe is exploiting everything there. Africa is more colonized now, then it was before ww2. Virtualy independent, but most of the governments were settled there by help from American and European intelligence services. So don't live in dreams that africa is free.
pan Africanism might start with marcus garvey but movements and rebelling against foreign powers started in Africa. Pan Africanism is an aftermath of what has been done before.
Yes an African who had to come to America and discover himself and go back to Africa to reclaim what was his. This man went through shit with is government. God Bless his spirit
He never went to America to discover himself. Fela discovered himself in London, England. He went to America for popularity reasons but never had luck with the immigration officers there so he had to return to Nigeria. He didn't learn shit from Americans. Everything he says and plays were inspired by what he saw in Africa.
takeitfromyavideo is saying"went through shit not from Americans"but Nigerian gov, that I think, if is correct? Correct me otherwise, I applaude Fela for his music and dedication. I keep listening to his music and who ever have posted this on youtube I congratulate them as well. Merci beaucoup.
Dude, black solidarity movement started in Africa to England before it got to America. Fela was in America yes but he wasn't there to learn shit, he was there to perform. All the things Fela talks about are things he saw in England and Africa. He was radical before he got to America. Do you know how radical his mum was? Chief Mrs Olufumilayo Ransome Kuti. Go figure who she is then you'll know that Fela comes from a Family that fought for the people. America has nothing on him.
You obviously are unfamiliar with his story...go read more about him before "talking shit" as Fela would say. He found himself in America and was influenced by no other than Sandra Isidore an African American activist
No dream work Fela didn't come frm a middle class family. His mother was quite famous and wealthy lol. & His family influenced him more than anyone else did. His mother was a human right activist.
What are you saying, he didn't come from a middle class family but his mother was famous and wealthy? Is his mother not part of the family?
His grand-father recorded one of the first recorded live music in Africa, his family was definitely middle class by African standards, his father was a preacher and a school principal which at that time was considered middle class.
@dreamwks according to the then nigerian standard, fela was frm a rich family, though his father was high sch principal, but his mother was the 1st nigerian woman to drive a car. His One brother, a med doctor was also a former minister of health. He himsef got a schorlarship to study in England & later changed to music.He just chosed to live a low profile life.
@raymondjegbe well i would say that maybe his family forgot about majority of Nigerians that live poor life, no education, no future. And as educated men, from educated family he was able to do something. Poor can't stand for themselves, they don't have the knowledge neither sources to stand for themselves and he couldn't watch that anymore. That's what we may call Colateral compasion, when you can't be free if you know that someone else is suffering. I wish more people would be that way ....
@Benjaw, the similarity is what these 2 great men preached and lived their lives for with music. Go and listen to Bob Marley's Buffalo Soldier,Redemption Song & Africa unite. You can then relate this to the roots and check my comments below again. Music is a message/spirit/inspiration and not where it came. These men are great irrespective of where they came from or played their music.
what is the musical link between marley and fela? i still can't hear where marley got any african soul in his music. afrika and america are different planets. i hate to hear that people could compare lousy reggae to any african music. why not link blues to zouk? ^^
Virtually all American music is linked to African influence. The "call and response" format was from the beginning of blues, jazz, spirituals a major influence. Marley said they listened to radio stations out of New Orleans (that great musical melting pot, Congo Square etc.) and listened to all kinds of r&b,jazz etc. You forget, Bob grew up all around people of African descent. He would naturally absorb the rhythms, tones, inflections of African speech, movement, time etc. Marley 100% African
i can't disagree completely, but all Fela Kuti's music was made using instruments and diatonic scales created by white europeans. you can claim this is false however you like, but facts are facts
Those instruments you are claiming i can bring back to a further date then what euro had. You see they had to get them from somewhere. Even the Lute that the asians used was found in africa. The design changed due to migrating and different taste but the origins of the instrument remains the same. Facts are facts as you say.
so, you're saying that development is not a valid form of creativity... by that wisdom, no musician on earth has been truly creative since the first human banged two sticks together and found it pleasing. just sayin
Dont try word play because i guarantee i can be cruel when it comes to that.
YOU said the africans made music using white instruments. All i did was shew you how those instruments you are so proud of came to be. You lit the fire that burnt you.
you keep claiming that you are 'right' and have 'won.' all you're doing is defending a false and racist claim. Oh, I get it, you don't actually want equality, you just want all the credit for whitey's contribution. Yeah, I know "the man dragged us out of mother Africa, we didn't ask for none of this shit" but if you believe that then move your family to the African bush and then tell me you don't miss running water and television.
I have to say i do love when everytime i say something it is white people who try to claim it as racist. You can not find anything Racist that i have said only facts.
You on the other hand appear to be very racist, with your stereotypes of africa and all. Africa in some parts in fact DOES have running water, light, electricity etc etc. But you wouldnt know that because your racist views only let you see the bad.
" we didn't ask for none of this shit" but if you believe"
what the hell are you talking about? NO africans DID NOT ask to be taken into slavery. What kind of fucked up argument is that? And i never said blacks created everything that is you implying ans assuming. We were talking about music and the instruments when it was YOU who tried to give cred to white people for OUR music. You just got bit back is all.
I did specify "African bush," which means a complete lack of modern amenities. I only mentioned the common phrase "we didn't ask for none of this shit" because of the implication "therefore none of it is any worth to us." People who think that way forget that some white people have done some good. They deliberately ignore the white influence on anything good in their life. And they make fundamentally racist statements such as "Thats because white people have no creativity."
@stankology so... thanks to all african descendants; being white, red, yellow, brown or MIXED, ( blessed mix) And, NO, Marley was not 100 % African. His father was white ( and he certainly absorbed part of that culture too) , but, does that matter?
Lot of mixing in this "too" mixed world. KEEP MIXING,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing artist! Gave up many opportunities to see him life, lived less than 25 miles from his shrine. His lifestyle was not my cup of tea. A genius no doubt! Power show is a masterpiece!
I don't know why anyone would compare Fela and Marley, Marley was a commercial sell out. Fela studied music, was a multi-instrumentalist who also created music. Marley sang mostly about women and love, Fela sang about issues that affected the underprivileged in African and the world as a whole. Fela was the Mother Theresa of music in Africa, coming from a middle-class family, he gave up everything to fight for what he believed in.
look, Marley was a political figure in jamaica, and many politicians of the day tried to coopt his music into their "side" and courted or bullied for his public support. But songs such as "get up, stand up" "no woman no cry" exodus, and many other songs were directly political and describing the plight of the underclass under post-colonial rule. Reggae itself was seen as revolutionary music. So there are indeed similarities between the two, despite the later commercialization/branding of BM.
Remember: much of Fela's best music was performed during the 70's. Meanwhile afikan amerikkkan's were continuing to digest tarzan-esque imagery of the AFrikan Ethos,African Culture and African Civlization in general. And here we had Fela as an ecclectic cross of bob marley,stevie wonder,james brown and coltrane in an authentic African idiom and musical vernacular all his own. AFROBEAT!!
Mate I don't know what cloud your in but except the fact his music is awesome. His political views be it from the 70's look what the fuck happening in Afrika now.
As I said your probably an educated Boer lived in some country bush town with black slaves.
So stick your high and mighty words to yourself and your conclusion of his Afrobeat....mate you are definetly a drongo
IT WAS A SAD DAY BUT A DAY TO CELEBRATE, LET'S CELEBRATE OUR BLACK LEGEND, ABAMI EDA, THE BLACK PRESIDENT, R.I.P KING FELA anikulapo KUTI, TODAY MAKES U 11 YEARS IN PEACE, WE MISS YOU FOREVER.
fela was a good artist but he was no leader of men can you imagine being one of his poor wives waiting for him to finnish with the other 26, moraly he was as corrupt as the govenment he sang about, we should not be looking up to him or that other fake bob marley who did not take care of his family
If it worked for women as well, sure..think about that..I would love to have 5-6 husbands, to take care of the house and children while I worked..now that would be great. And I could make sure their physical needs were met as well..it would be so much better for the world..no more wars..think about it..
I agree, but I think it is a definitely a trend, and a good one, that people's choice's are not so restricted along the lines of gender. Furthermore, people should be free to express themselves, and their proclivities, outside of conventional conformities. By the way, you will never run across a more "chatty" group then my four (male) housemates! Un-believable!
elijahcapell23 where tha fuck are you from? in case you dont know he didn't force any of his wives to marry him, they all agreed to marry him as a polygamist, and that means that is what they want for themselves, it's freedom to make a choice, so I think elijahcapell23 is wrong for that comment, FELA LIVES FOREVER
You are a bloody nuisance, how dare you talk about Fela and Bob Marley like that. You have no respect for great men. It is not for you to judge Fela's or Bob Marley's personal lives. The way they both lived their lives is none of your fucking business or anybody's else for that matter. For your education and information, FELA ANIKULAPO-KUTI is the best musician both politically and musically to have come out of Africa till date. Go and do your research properly, before you start posting shit.
Obviuosly you are not an original Fela fan. Who the fuck are you to be judging other peoples's lives. Both Fela and Bob Marley were great and dignified men of the highest order. They were both respected social critics known all over the world for the powerful messages that their music professed. You monkey. Talking shit about Fela & Bob Marley like that. Have you cleaned up your own fucking personal life first? Mr. Moralist. Stop saying nonsense.
a wise man is perhaps considered a fool in his silence. while a fool proves himself so in his words and deeds.
To denounce the most influential Nigerian Musician as "no leader of Men" on the grounds of your imagined (and perhaps miss-educated) views of his polygamy is the epitome of "foolishness". To add insult to injury you state that this victim of brutal neo-colonial oppression is; "currupt as the government he sang about".
This is one of Fela's classic. Fela was a true humanist.He was a fearless fighter. He used his music to critize the ills of the society. He was a thorn in the flesh of successive Nigerian governments. What a shame that after all Fela sang about, Nigeria is still ruled by a bunch of uneductaed gorillas and monkeys, that know nothing about human rights and dignity. I count myself extremely lucky to have watched Fela(BLACK PRESIDENT)on stage at the African Shrine, at pepple street,Ikeja,Lagos.
my brothers was blessed to play with him in Nigeria, FESTEC 1977. Fela blessed both of them with their names Balogun & Anaculapo. Both play upright bass, bass guitar and keys. they also met and stayed with Sun Rah. i consider them ones who walked with giants and so are you.
My favorite Fela tune. Saw him several times: Felt Forum in NYC, small club on Washington Street in Boston, MA, Great Woods in Mansfield, MA; lyrics are great in this one; "if you no talk quick, him go go for shit, him go shit come back...dem say no change for 50 kobo. Fela was amazing. Catch his son Femi if you can.
The Greatest!!! Fela forever! I saw him in concert in Yaounde when I was a kid in the 70's and I'm collecting all his music. A heartfelt Cameroonian salute to the Master. Peace in Africa.
87CamBie. Next time if you don`t understand the music or don´t have any comment to make, just shut up instead of making such disgusting remarks. Or maybe this type of music is just too civilised for you. And there´s realy no point my explaining to you who Fela is.Zombies will never understand.
87CAMBIE may the shrine of our forefathers and the suffering of our people forgive you,for it seem you were born with a golden spoon. you dont know that Fela is our small god,he is the messiah of our time,we the poor listen to him and get consoled and i wonder how strange the world would have been with out him.
Shut up 87Cambie. In the 1970's Fela called the UN disUnited United Nations, aren't they?Even Queen Elizabeth recognizes Fela Anikulapo Kuti has a great musician, intellect and a top black human right activist. You are the racist, Fela a like Bob Marley, Martin Luther King,Nelson Mandela and other great back leaders. Fela is a man who sang about all that is happening in the world today. Long live the Abami Eda !! I hail you my fellow Nigerians, Long live Afro beat !
He's d real African Lion,in d Dangerous Gov't Jungle,,,,,,,i miss d King Big time, Shango Olukoso Fire & Thunder human incarnate, hes not dead he lives in us all.....
shut up u are chatting shit,and dear u call fela a jerk are u mad blad u must be fucking retarded and highly fucked up,idiot,he is trying to say the truth and u are chatting shit
First let me tell you something, Iam dark black from the Ivory coast and not a white racist. I love all black people from anywhere on this earth. Are all white people trapped in Europe or in the USA? Please don't be ignorant, we need to one day decide to go back and work for Africa to be develop or it will never be. Iam giving you the Japanneese example.
my people what are we stii waiting for. think about when we used to leave as Africans compare to emulating the western world. please wake up my people. Fela died for we Africans.Hope he didn't die in vain.
Hello Hello thank you for making this song I like very much Fela Kuti i didn't know him my father discovered to me and this is the song i listened for the first time.. FANTASTIC!! But i don't remember the tittle.; so pleasee could you give me the name??!! Thanks UU!

most of africa is still colonized. who the fuck you think is supporting wars there? africans? or some shitty foreign intelligence agencies, that are the right hand of their governments. Africa is still colonized and America and Europe is exploiting everything there. Africa is more colonized now, then it was before ww2. Virtualy independent, but most of the governments were settled there by help from American and European intelligence services. So don't live in dreams that africa is free.

He never went to America to discover himself. Fela discovered himself in London, England. He went to America for popularity reasons but never had luck with the immigration officers there so he had to return to Nigeria. He didn't learn shit from Americans. Everything he says and plays were inspired by what he saw in Africa.
ballymo85 2 years ago 2
takeitfromyavideo is saying"went through shit not from Americans"but Nigerian gov, that I think, if is correct? Correct me otherwise, I applaude Fela for his music and dedication. I keep listening to his music and who ever have posted this on youtube I congratulate them as well. Merci beaucoup.

Dude, black solidarity movement started in Africa to England before it got to America. Fela was in America yes but he wasn't there to learn shit, he was there to perform. All the things Fela talks about are things he saw in England and Africa. He was radical before he got to America. Do you know how radical his mum was? Chief Mrs Olufumilayo Ransome Kuti. Go figure who she is then you'll know that Fela comes from a Family that fought for the people. America has nothing on him.

You obviously are unfamiliar with his story...go read more about him before "talking shit" as Fela would say. He found himself in America and was influenced by no other than Sandra Isidore an African American activist

What are you saying, he didn't come from a middle class family but his mother was famous and wealthy? Is his mother not part of the family?
His grand-father recorded one of the first recorded live music in Africa, his family was definitely middle class by African standards, his father was a preacher and a school principal which at that time was considered middle class.

@dreamwks according to the then nigerian standard, fela was frm a rich family, though his father was high sch principal, but his mother was the 1st nigerian woman to drive a car. His One brother, a med doctor was also a former minister of health. He himsef got a schorlarship to study in England & later changed to music.He just chosed to live a low profile life.
raymondjegbe 1 year ago
@raymondjegbe well i would say that maybe his family forgot about majority of Nigerians that live poor life, no education, no future. And as educated men, from educated family he was able to do something. Poor can't stand for themselves, they don't have the knowledge neither sources to stand for themselves and he couldn't watch that anymore. That's what we may call Colateral compasion, when you can't be free if you know that someone else is suffering. I wish more people would be that way ....

@Benjaw, the similarity is what these 2 great men preached and lived their lives for with music. Go and listen to Bob Marley's Buffalo Soldier,Redemption Song & Africa unite. You can then relate this to the roots and check my comments below again. Music is a message/spirit/inspiration and not where it came. These men are great irrespective of where they came from or played their music.

Virtually all American music is linked to African influence. The "call and response" format was from the beginning of blues, jazz, spirituals a major influence. Marley said they listened to radio stations out of New Orleans (that great musical melting pot, Congo Square etc.) and listened to all kinds of r&b,jazz etc. You forget, Bob grew up all around people of African descent. He would naturally absorb the rhythms, tones, inflections of African speech, movement, time etc. Marley 100% African

I did specify "African bush," which means a complete lack of modern amenities. I only mentioned the common phrase "we didn't ask for none of this shit" because of the implication "therefore none of it is any worth to us." People who think that way forget that some white people have done some good. They deliberately ignore the white influence on anything good in their life. And they make fundamentally racist statements such as "Thats because white people have no creativity."

@stankology so... thanks to all african descendants; being white, red, yellow, brown or MIXED, ( blessed mix) And, NO, Marley was not 100 % African. His father was white ( and he certainly absorbed part of that culture too) , but, does that matter?

I don't know why anyone would compare Fela and Marley, Marley was a commercial sell out. Fela studied music, was a multi-instrumentalist who also created music. Marley sang mostly about women and love, Fela sang about issues that affected the underprivileged in African and the world as a whole. Fela was the Mother Theresa of music in Africa, coming from a middle-class family, he gave up everything to fight for what he believed in.
dreamwks 2 years ago
look, Marley was a political figure in jamaica, and many politicians of the day tried to coopt his music into their "side" and courted or bullied for his public support. But songs such as "get up, stand up" "no woman no cry" exodus, and many other songs were directly political and describing the plight of the underclass under post-colonial rule. Reggae itself was seen as revolutionary music. So there are indeed similarities between the two, despite the later commercialization/branding of BM.

Meanwhile afikan amerikkkan's were continuing to digest tarzan-esque imagery of the AFrikan Ethos,African Culture and African Civlization in general. And here we had Fela as an ecclectic cross of bob marley,stevie wonder,james brown and coltrane in an authentic African idiom and musical vernacular all his own. AFROBEAT!!

The way they both lived their lives is none of your fucking business or anybody's else for that matter.

There is an AFrikan Proverb that states:
a wise man is perhaps considered a fool in his silence. while a fool proves himself so in his words and deeds.
To denounce the most influential Nigerian Musician as "no leader of Men" on the grounds of your imagined (and perhaps miss-educated) views of his polygamy is the epitome of "foolishness". To add insult to injury you state that this victim of brutal neo-colonial oppression is; "currupt as the government he sang about".

This is one of Fela's classic. Fela was a true humanist.He was a fearless fighter. He used his music to critize the ills of the society. He was a thorn in the flesh of successive Nigerian governments. What a shame that after all Fela sang about, Nigeria is still ruled by a bunch of uneductaed gorillas and monkeys, that know nothing about human rights and dignity. I count myself extremely lucky to have watched Fela(BLACK PRESIDENT)on stage at the African Shrine, at pepple street,Ikeja,Lagos.

my brothers was blessed to play with him in Nigeria, FESTEC 1977. Fela blessed both of them with their names Balogun & Anaculapo. Both play upright bass, bass guitar and keys. they also met and stayed with Sun Rah. i consider them ones who walked with giants and so are you.
