Can anyone tell me the name of this "wooden stick" sound instrument? cool warm and deep sound so simple but going on for 15 minutes it often creates the great feeling of continuity in some Fela's songs. cheers

I always wondered how long after Fela's death it would take for the world to truly listen. This man was beaten and imprisoned numerous times, by his government, with no aid or intervention. Mother killed. All for speaking his truth in his country. Now all we speak on is who can make "this" music. Music is made by experience. Creation is individual, understanding is universal. Only Fela could have done this. He left it here for us to learn from and enjoy.

@ballymo85 You forget one other major point. The sciences brother Fela dropped in his songs are beyond compare in the west!

@cavaleer are you really ignorant? America, your United States of America is just the product of Europe, Africa, ... You're a blend of all cultures how can you say that Europe, Africa etc. have nothing to do with America. Look at you're buildings, look in musea... How many European influences are there and almost all paintings are from Europe, so why won't you think before you say that America has nothing to do with neither Europe or Africa

LOL, you must be European because only a European would make such a statement as "simple rhythm". A more fitting term would be a steady rhythm or time signature. European rhythms are not complex; they're very straightforward & boring. Changing time signature is hardly complex & usually speaks off the lack of rhythm. Listen to the the rhythm section in any African centered music. The polyrhythms alone would put any European composer to shame.
