Brings back good memories. First heard in '77 through my late father who lived in Nigeria for about 8 months. Dedicated to the beautiful people of Lagos.

Fela, how talented...

The 1st Fela tune I ever heard, must have been about 5 or 6 but still found it fascinating, this tune probably started it all for or me. I've been a fan ever since. Thanks for uploading this.
