Ok i can't stress how genius D'Angelo's vocals were with this. It's already my favorite track, but one of my favorite musician/singers on there too? i'm just amazed at how he fuzed American Soul with Nigerian Afrobeat SOOOOO well.
I've been bumping this on the podcast non-stop! D, Femi and Macy are brilliant on vocals. And that Nile Rodgers guitar is hypnotic! And the late, great Roy leading the horns!
Africa for Africans.Japanese have their technology, Europeans have their religion, we(African) have music. Deep-rooted music which no can take away from us coz only us know how to do it. Long live FELI music.

I don't know why. Both are African music, one is just a little further removed from home than the other.

Yep. All that was needed was to connect the dots.
@@uploadvidz4490 this comment right here! not american soul but rather africans of america soul.
I like how they incorporated the original track in this "update." Good work, chilling! 😊
First time hearing this on local jazz radio, Feb 3/ 2024. Saw the Broadway version of Fela . Love it love it love it !!!
I had nooooo idea there was such a remix! God bless these musical geniuses!
word!!!!! i never knew
When I first stumbled across this version, I just couldn't believe that something like this even existed. This is such good music.
I appreciate that they are still jamming to Fela Kuti. An Original is just that.....Original!!! This one is funky and inspired! I love it!

Thank you so much for this info. Rarely can you get these days thats why i would love the cds more. The booklet would hold all that info and more.
Been listening to this continual rotation for _years_ and was not aware the great Mr Rodgers was on this!
Shoutouts to everybody being blessed with this!
Water No Get Enemy w/D'Angelo is beyond magical! #StraightDopeness
red hot riot! one of the best tributes. thank you FELA for making music the feeds the heart and soul as well as the mind and feet!
Fela lives forever because of his classic tunes. Wicked cover!
The beats on this is completely crazy.
Fela lives!
That horn section my God
This bout the mostest beautiful thing I've heard this week
D'Angelo's voice is sick!!!
I like how they incorporated the original track in this "update." Good work, chillun! 😊
IT GETS ALL INTO YOUR SOUL, YOU HAVE TO MOVE WHEN YOU HEAR IT.
Everyrhing is magical...amazing keyboardist
Awesome collab! One of my faves.
This is wonderful. Why haven't I seen it before? I search for Fela songs all the time.
I just ran across this and instantly feel in love❤❤❤.
such a shame that this is not on spotify, amazing stuff
It is on Spotify
i had Fela Kuti's "Black President" and lived to see a son of Africa become the Black President. The true music...
Was he a true B or a member
AJ BROUGHT ME HERE
Roy Hargrove on the horn...rest in paradise

Wow my friend just sent me this. How is it that I never heard this?
i love this. my great soul singer Macy Gray with the best Nigerian musical export Femi Kuti. great song from the legend
Awesome grove!
I like the vibes, enjoying the weekend!
The intro to this track should never have been a separate track. (It's just the same song and there's a bunch of amazing solos)
When D'angelo said 'If you fight am unless you wan die'..I was like whaaat?!!
😅 Even better was the line "Ko s'oun to le şe ko ma l'omi ooo" @2:25 with D'Angelo on falsetto.
What mark was that?
Besides Fela Kuti and D'Angelo don't act like you don't hear Macy Gray!!! She ballin!!!
2020 whose here?
Wow Macy SMASHED IT!!!
What a song...
Africa for Africans.Japanese have their technology, Europeans have their religion, we(African) have music. Deep-rooted music which no can take away from us coz only us know how to do it. Long live FELI music.
TOO HOT TO HANDLE!
SUPERB!!!!
Nice!! I need to learn to play this!

love the tune but the early ending left me shocked lol
cool stuff like it!!
MACY!!
The only taste that the 14 ppl that didn't dig this song have, is what is in their mouths. Killer killer tune.
Brilliant, loving it. Better than the original IMHO :)
You dey craze! Which one you smoke?,,smh!!
Barth It is my opinion. I am allowed that. Something Fela suffered for all is life..... Whether you like or no like........ Have a nice day :)
Absolutely! Carry go, bro! :-)
I wouldn’t say that, but it is Awesome
Nooooo way
Indeed !9
Both this remake and the original makes me want to sign up for the nearest african dance class and shake my ass till there's no more backbone.
Great
Word
I seems to like Femi's own piece to the original by his father.
@BeautelligentDiva79 " shake my ass till there's no more backbone " ...lol nice expression
Here in 2024!
Re-wiiiiind

@rtoriq You can say that again
#questoswreckastow brought me here
ME TOO..
@MasCad thanks, MasCad.....LOL. Just stating what I felt...lol
Friction ..
I used 2 think Macy Gray was WACK AF....And then this happened.
I've never thought she was wack, but I know what you mean! Like me, you're amazed that she could do this!!!
RaeRae Jeru, Nah, I was on some “Who gave her a record deal?”.
Check her song w/saxist David Murray! " Be MY Monster Love! Oh my...!
I prefer fela sorry I can't listen this shit I don't want
Fair attempt, but I’ll still stick with Baba70. Sorry.
Good collabo but should not be compared with the version of the Maestro.... it spoils it.
Please take Macy Gray out.
Jeremy Ford
What!!! Macy Gray is a Fucking Goddess❤🎶👑👑👡
Macy Gray is terrible.. Sheeeesh
Sadly, this is rubbish compared to the original, sickening in my opinion!
The personnel on this track is amazing.. It's definitely the best next thing
