@Jthegreat84 but have you checked out his entire opus, he's made so much music plus he inspired many musicians. james brown went to africa with his band to get new musical ideas from this man. or maybe she meant the message in his music and life check out the documentary on fela kuti on youtube this is just a small part of it.
