A piece of musical history to be cherished forever.

Fela's life style greatly over shadowed his great music ability. The guy was a genius, a trail blazer

On my last trip to Lagos,I had this track on my Ipod,My Uncle is close to 70yrs old now,He had this grin from ear to ear .asking me where did i find this track..then I let him listen to other tracks like Ololufe,Abiara,Ako ,..It was awesome.

He went on to tell me about Fela and his music. He described Fela as a Phomenal musician....Thanks for sharing ...this is awesome ..Abami Eda himself....
