There are some things that words cannot capture. Like the smell of akara or taste of abula. There is no english for eregemiti! This is Magic from Alchemist !
@loko4191141 remmy was good but tony was the glue for afrobeat rhtyhms. tony allen is one of the best drummers of all time even fela said without tony no afrobeat. his ability to syncopate a groove while locked in the pocket all while double kicking the bass drum and keeping the hi hat open is wonderful. lets not add his ability to roll and switch from french grip to matchstick inbetween rolls and you get a master drummer who created at least 40 different drum patterns ( my count)
It's somewhat fortuitous then as this is the first thing I've knowingly heard by Fela Kuti and just happened to chance upon it. By and large I don't like vocals. This reminds me slightly of Miles around the Bitches Brew period if he'd been a little less afraid of melody. This is great but not as good as the Adam and the Ants song of the same name though !

Fela you never die. You are so genuine. Though the tyrant are taking their time to reform. One day they shall hear your eloquent message.
That Lester Bowie trumpet sound.........YES!
The first Fela Kuti song I ever heard, and still a favorite. No lyrics!
Thank you BABA-KUTI for all those wonderful memories of my time at the shrine.

What an evergreen music by an extra-talented music icon, If you are not Anikulapo sure you can't be Fela Kuti.....really Dog dey eat dog.
Good music will always stand the test of time.thank u Baba Kuti
Long Live Afrobeat.Love Live the legend of all time Fela Anikulapo Kuti
Fela Anikulapo Kuti the Onile Orisha of Africa, a great man is our time.
This tune makes my soul smile.
i remember this tune playing in the car radio every morning when i was a kid :)
One of the ONLY two purely instrumental cuts released by the great Fela Anikulapo Kuti. This is Jazz at its best whether "Afro" or "Mainstream".
