Yellow fever - เพลง
Who still rocking 2024
I was from the beginning, still am, and I have a good feeling that I always will ❤
This song gets me emotional, idk why but i suspect my bottled up emotions, but I love listening to this during the sun rise
☝🏽☝🏽 I do with this ageless song
@@laetitiaatangana9834 nice one you are welcome, are on WhatsApp?
We here
Funny when you listen to Fela no other music sounds good for like 2 or 3 days.
Sun Ra
MF DOOM
Yeah Yeah
Man, I'm doing that for 3 weeks
I just cant listen to other things
Now I can listen another thing. Now I'm listening to Mdou Moctar too
When he changed his surname from Ransome-Kuti to Anikulapo-Kuti ("Anikulapo" in yoruba means "One who has death in his pouch"), he meant his music will never die. Now we know. Watching him live put you into a spell-like trance. God bless you, abami eda!
Only he could select such a name.
I knew Fela for having lived in Lagos from 1972 to 1974. I went to see him live before he moved to Suru Lere. I used to go to his compound when he had a donkey he named Yakubu Gowon! I was a regular at the Shrine. Fela was a monster of contradiction. I can't deny his musical genius!!!
...you sabi well well.
wooow!
He was the unofficial president of Lagos in Nigeria!
KING of AFRICA!
I wish more Indians discovered this song. As a southern Indian Tamil growing up in Mumbai, there was a very uncomfortable inferiority complex in my community revolving around our dark skinned appearance. Many years after Fela, BLM has risen, and Fairness Creams in India have been pulled back. Making the word Fair or Whitening illegal on skin lightening products doesn't mean original sickness is gone.
My support for African culture as a Tamil has only invited racial slurs. One day, I hope we too recover from Yellow Fever.
One Love
Yes!! And it should not be this way! Colourist affects both the Asian and African communities. So wrong! From a fellow African 🙂
Brother - I LOVED your post!
Our inferiority complex about dark skin is a direct result of the white occupation indoctrination in the name of 'education' which continues to this day via 'catholic/private schools' in Bhaarat.
The average educated indian in many cases is whiter than white - I used to be one of them....proud to be as Neo Roman white as possible and ashamed of my own heritage!
I am an Indian, from the foothills of the Himalayas, listening to Afrobeat of Fella Kuti.
@@norzangdawashenghabhutia3184 thats awesome man
Stand strong Vijay!! Respect to you from Nigeria 🇳🇬!
I love being a BLACK WOMAN!
From Africa to the Caribbean everybody should listen to this song. It's so sad to see that millions of our sisters (brothers) bleaching their skin
Heal the Mind. The rest takes care of itself. Imagine the hate. Once you were dark skinned. From the family. The community. The society. The whole goddamn world. The precious dark skin. So hated. But yet envied. By the HATERS! What a paradox. Yet, the hate still lingers. But, me...always loved me DARK skin!
Which is weird... everyone talking about proud to be African or Caribbean but trying to look closer to Europeans as possible, look at all the weave/wigs y'all be wearing.
Black is so beautiful please imbrace your inner beauty ❤
One of the greatest song criticising a social malaise of the African woman(skin bleaching),FELA WAS NOT ONLY A MUSICIAN HE WAS ALSO A PHILOSOPHER,the malaise is still with us today and it is now called "toning"-a more subtle way for abusing the skin.
The sax is soulful...l love this man!
bcp d africain, et noir en général dansent aux rythme de 7 chanson, pourtant ils ne renoncent pas a c decaper la peau à coup de millions
My deepest respect and admiration to Africa and the black people.
Love from Colombia 🇨🇴
🤔🧐
💗
We respect you too our brothers and sisters.
🙏🌈🌎 viva! Conoces a son palenque?
Nice "mix" here. Feels a bit faster? th-cam.com/video/XNU2gKg_ryg/w-d-xo.html
Baba 70 Forever oooo❤🔥
Western musos so obsessed with getting that perfect 4-6 min song to 'make it' on radio. Not understanding that at 4-6 min musos like Fela are just warning up. I would listen to Fela Kuti over 95% of modern radio songs.
Hahaha he warms up for 10 mins.
I bought this LP while assigned to Lagos from 1975 to 1978. Some of the best music ever, hypnotic, just close your eyes, absorb and let yourself move. Never did go to the night club on Ikorodu Rd, but heard a lot about it. He got the powers that be so angry that soldiers threw his mother out of a second story window. Fela Ransome Kuti was not just a really good, prolific musician, he was also an incredibly sharp social critic. He skewered all the crazy malfunctions of Nigerian government and society better than anyone. Yellow fever was the craze to bleach one's skin to look lighter and thus higher class. Think he skewered that affectation pretty well. FRK was very proud to be African.
The last sentence is a killer, yeah he was very much a proud African!
joy joy!
John K. Atchley
Very well put
Asssigned to Lagos huh? Business or Diplomatic Service?
John K. Atchley absolutely. thank you sir
This is the song that put me on to Fela. What a monstrous track
Why did the 70s have sounds like this. Nothing like it was created before or after except for sampling by hip hop groups mostly in early 90s. This proves that it was worldwide and the best part is it was all done with live instruments with very limited electronic input. I wasn't born until the 80s so I didn't live it. But why was the 70s in music such a magical time, can somebody explain? And please leave money out of it, always the lamest justification for things although I know money is important of course. But there was something else.... felt in the soul of so many musicians. From country to funk to disco to classic rock to r & b to reggae to soul to even classical, opera, jazz and early hip hop. What was it? Why did it go away?
The market
Good weed and Fela is the hanswer
💚❤💛 2024 toujours d’actualités Mister FELA is à visionnaire 💥💥💥💥💥fire baby 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Let’s goooo 237
Février 😊
Ok so this is what yellow fever is about, I had to really listen to the lyrics over again bleachin! Oh its real problem in the black community and false hair too!!! Rock on Fela forever!!!
+Lerlene Cork This bleaching is probably mostly black thing, but all over the world all kinds of people take unnecesary plastic surgeons, and that's sad.
BLACK & PROUD!!! Africans Unite!!!
He understood the true African Spirituality...
Proud to be Nigerian! Fela's sound will never die 🇳🇬
Speak the truth with no shame and call out injustice and moral bankruptcy and brutality of corrupt government officials and people’s suffering to spare! God bless fela,,,,
I never regret meeting this man in my life.A gentleman and welcomes everyone.
This is one of the all time great in Africa.... Those who are playing today are just kids... Come and listen the true African rock
I'm glad you like it. Fela is arguably the greatest musician/composer/arranger to come out of Africa. I have more of his songs on my channel.
9:50 got me tearing up, awesome work Fela ❤
discovered fela this year.....there's no turning back!!!
RIP to this legend!
I'm Haitian but Fela is one of my Heroes ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
there 's not but we are all sons of this earth !! I embrace you
Most Haitians are Nigerians of Igbo origin
haitians are our brothers and sister.
AYITI 🇭🇹
Love haitians from Sao Tome and Principe
our African queens pls be proud of your natural skin colour
Yes my friend, I am white but always I am proud for my daughters dark skin as a half cast She is the most beautiful girl !!
dude gtfo
..."half-caste" is a racist term, Μαρινα Κυρατζοπουλου. Peace to you and your family.
BabaStiletto it's not!
...not really an argument, Now now - I strongly suggest you look up the meaning of "caste" within a racial context. Let's have a further exchange when you've done that. Bless up.
I was on a flight to someplace, and clicking through the iPod for the perfect air-travel music. Tried EVERYTHING, and nothing worked. Then I hit on some Fela, and listened the whole trip. It's off of this world.
Who's still listening to this legend of those days in 2020. Loving memories of Abami eda
Me. Trinidad & Tobago.
Greetings Ms Samuel, in answer - a reasonably well-read, middle-aged, bespectacled Anglo-Saxon from North West London.
aho!
Louisville, KY checking in 12-24-2020
Yeah....ever fresh
If baba was to be alive today. I believe this our generation today won't have be so lost in bleaching of their skin 🤷♂️
The TRUTH of an African man. The melody of an African man. Ahh..how wonderful.
I just found out who fela was. Can't wait to listen to this with my 3rd eye 💨💨💨💨
Groovy jazz to satisfy the soul. Excellence is an understatement !!! Wow
the prophet of music
Fela was chanting down bleaching long time.
The most profound thing i found about his music is his originality.
Give this man the Nobel Peace prize. To recognize the amazing work of Fela.
those are Babylon's accolades, human beings such as Fela are the People's Champ, we reward them in our hearts and spirit
@@Pezzone14 agreed wholeheartedly. keep the disgusting nobel committee away from this.
I'm black and proud💪❤
Essa semana eu conheci o filho dele Seun Kuti tocando aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷
Em Porto Alegre, um som uma música fantástica dançante contagiante eu amei 👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Legends never die. Fela’s music will live on for centuries to come. Proud to be African ❤️
Thank you Eden Hazard
Used to dance Fela in a little disco in the middle of the foggy countriside off Milan, i was young in the 1981, and im still in love with his music
It was the music in my youth and I still admiring the black president. Rest In Power black president Fela Anikulapo Kuti
This still puts on a Music Spiritual High! 2022 & The Ancestors [still] movin' through my Soul! 🎶🎶🖤
@James Hama
Blessed & Joyful
Pray the same... 😎

Thank you Fela for bringing my dad so much joy. We'll be playing this in both his and your honour.
African spirits speaking, Fela himself immersed in the spirits, now this is pure spiritual.
My baby introduced me to Fela and I love him.
Love ❤️ from Ghana 🇬🇭. Loving the groove. RIP Papa Fela

Guys.listen to fela lyrics,you get move ,you remember life in the 70s.80s ..life was super sweet then.God almighty will not forgive politicians that has turn our country upside down...what a life?in my childhood days
I bought my first Fela vinyl at a record stall at Limerick's Milk Market and it was "Water No Get Enemy" EP and I've been hooked ever since. Nothing really compares to this type of performance! All the way from Éire 🇮🇪
Doc & John have turned people on to so much good music.
Water No Get Enemy, probably my most favorite of all Fela's songs. Thanks, my Irish Brother
Right on brother and I'm from Dublin
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Fela Kuti! 15th October 2023!
I’m listening to this because of my dads influence. Came back older and I appreciate this
The Harder They Fall brought me here.
Fela's music takes you to a different level.
My mother is seriously down with cancer, lying down, the only song she wants to listen to is fela🤣
🌷🌷🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Yes..! Fela Kuti is the only African voice around early 70's crying against the government injustice around Africa, though i was a kid then, but as i grow i find out that i can't out grow this fela's beats, really miss him but now i take solace in his son Femi who still keeps Fela's legacy aflame,

Thank you....listened to this song yesterday for my first time.
Thanks kindly for uoloading the lyrics
Great
...that bassline, though. Pure murder.
*Pure life
@@starisesun7692 inhibitions aborted :P
Sounds like James Brown
Disaster itself, that bassline
@@knowyourworld93 the bassline hits so hard
We call him by several names "Baba"- meaning father, Abami Eda"- mysterious creature, "Anikulapo" - he has death in his pocket. He was a revolutionary, a Political activist, A rebel loved by many, hated by some. He touched millions of hearts through his music, the originator of the music genre Afro beat. I grew up on this music. My dad would not buy it, because many of the older generation, did not understand the enigma, that was Fela Anikulapo Kuti
Une grande fierté pour l'Africain l'Africain presque on aurait pas imaginé qu'il l' a INVENTE dans les années 70 merci le bon fils d'AFRIC une grande dignité pour les noirs de partout dans le MONDE ....merci .STONE
who believed that this man was a great great prophet, fela kuti,unbeatable legend, nothing like natural beauty,please let's appreciate what God has given us one love my people around the world
This is what we call music.just makes you feel alive much love from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Fela at his best before he was badly beaten by 'Unknown Soldiers'. Baba, though your are gone your music remain evergreen. Okurin meta, sun re o.
Even then, the beating did not slow him down. He remained a thorn in the flesh of the dictators until sickness and death caught up with him.
Ase
And like all of the greats, such as Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Duke Ellington, etc., Fela Kuti still sounds ahead of his time! I had the fortune to be able and witness his son perform (Femi Kuti) in my hometown of Flagstaff. He is also an incredibly talented musician.
Glad to know his legacy lives through his son! 🇳🇬 💚
Yes the sons are doing Great job , listen to seun too he's very versatile a demigod in his own world and its not just the fela sons now its going to the grandson too main Made kuti is a phenomenon germ
Fela is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. He songs arent music, they are stokes of genius! I learn and i get so much from his songs. I learn more about culture. Back then when everything had a meaning and songs were messages...
Janet lagah-bona perfectly said
D.a soo trueee
That saxopone !!!
Fela...omG, how we MISS you!!!!!
Did anyone see that Fela votes into the Hall of Fame? It blew them away!!
I'm Dominican/Kittian....for some reason afro tracks like this always gets my attention.
Fela once said that without Tony Allen there would be no Afrobeat!
Fantastic bassline. It's what makes the song!
...killer bassline - from the gods.
James Brown influence
Your mother can hear bass on yu tube! The rest of us have No Bass. I hate digital shit
it makes the song cause it has the rhythm, the harmony, and almost part of the melody. Its the textural backbone.
New, to me, but DOPE. Turning 40 in a few months, trying to vibe this life out like this for now..
I can relate to this music growing up in the country the villagers brewed an opaque beer fm millet which made them so drunk and they would start singing in their drunken stupor with african drums. These are the sounds Fela brought to the fore. Notice how background singers sing with one voice ie no tenor, alto etc yes that is hw it was done in the village. Long live Fela. One day I hope to travel to Lagos to pay my respects bcuz there will never be another giant like him.
I'm from Newberry SC. I'm a fair skinned woman who is proud to of my African heritage. Fela's music plays to my soul in every aspect. A Legend and Ancestor! We are Proud!
Which country?
Glad you are from Scotland. I want you use the opportunity to inform the British government to let biafrans be i know it's might not be the platform but the gospel needs to be preached i don't care wherever it is my people perished because of the British and today a lots of Nigerians are dying because of the amalgamation the British government the contraption called Nigeria they put together for business sake to steal the resources from biafra land if you truly you all love justice and freedom preach the gospel of truth to them British you take my resources but when i apply for visa into your country I'm refused of it
Olodo, it is south Carolina.

He's making my whole day better. Reaching parts of my soul I never knew were there. Thank you Fela!
I'm here from Netflix and James Samuel but I love these new African Gemz ( new to me ) nuffsaid
Fela forever! I will listen in 2020 if I am still alive. Fela definitely will be.
i sure hope u re still listening ?
2020 I’m here
This is a witness that I didn’t forget you in 2020
My sisters and brothers who plasters there skin with the white cosmetics to look whiter than the snow of Europe!!! Baba you too much jareee.

Welcome brother🇳🇬
@theo Ionescu though your comment is a long way back, see if you will like Ali Farka Toure.
@@lajiraffa thanks for the recommendation brother, it's never too late
When you listening this it doesnt look so long.
I have been in a trance since I discovered Fela's music ...
I grew up sitting on his knee in Lagos clubs. He was a friend of my fathers as was King Sunny Ade.
You're so lucky
Your father must be Rich Rich
Abiodun Adeyemi they were both involved in education.
Nick Hatherly that’s Whatsup bro
you cant buy life - wow on so many levels , thanks , its an interesting situation to image .......
I saw King Sunny Ade do the headline last artist on Sunday night in the early 80's ......musically mesmerising
Excellent composer.
RIP he was the worst nightmare to every dictator in Africa including military rulers
Ha ha ha !!! Lol.
Absolutely true....most especially Mobutu seek of Zaire, who refused Fela a concert tour permission.
Yes ooo
@@yaminhaniyah2979 iùj
Yes! The world needs more Felas...pun intended!
In a 1980 interview Paul McCartney said that this is the best band he'd ever heard
Why is this music just hitting my radar? This is some the best stuff I've heard in a long time. Full on Grooovy.
+Michael Burke I wanna copy and paste your comment. I'm sad for all the 27 years I've lost without this
+Henrique Barbosa He is epic, a legend. He was called "Ebami Eda" (the One Touched by Divine Hand)
+Michael Burke, Check out Mr. Follow Follow and No Agreement. I think you will like them.
Shakara and Beasts of No Nation, two perfect songs.

my dad influenced me into listening to this amazing man's music.. and i thank God i took in his music.. its soo cool and food to my soul lol
