Not sure of the song name or album, but it's definitely Fela Kuti! You can't go wrong with any of his album, he's amazing...
Check out the documentary about him ''Music is the weapon'' for a great view of what he represents!

Those who diefy him do not do him the justice of giving him his weaknesess and foolisheness as well as his incredible strenght and insight. A man who fought hard for the emancipation of Africa but allowed himself to be conned into the delusion that he was supernaturally empervious to AIDS, and screwed himself into an early grave.

In reality i would like to concor to your saying as we share a similar passion in afrobeat but as a nigerian who lived Fela and was frequent at his house and shrine in my fomative years of rascality and disobedience i question the factuality of the cause of his death, they say what they want to say , dont get me wront, it may be or may not be .
So no asumptions either for or against , in short the man died but his music will never die.I guess thats all that matters.

His music and lyrics are incredibly powerfull examples of composition and political poetry, but listen to "Matress" or "Lady" and you see how consiosness stands up to those lyrics. Both my father and mother knew fela, and can attest to the fact that he could be both beneficent and cruel.

On another note. Fela was a human being above all else. A brilliant artist who redefined modern music, yes, but still just a human with all of our fatal flaws.

Musically speaking, to say that his music was non African music "flavored" with African traits is not at all fair. Even on a basic level, you would have to say that it was West African Music flavored by African music that had 'vacationed' in the Americas for 300 years. Deeper that that, there is no way to accurately tell weather Fela or James Brown influenced more of the other; especially with as much time that each musician spent on the others' continent.
