    Im a 23 year old Armenian from Virginia Usa and this music touches me down to my ancestral spirits. It brings me away from the southern hillbilly society that i feel i dont belong to and reconnects me with my heavily cultured roots and energies. The world is a happy place which, despite all our pain, is abundant with life.

    I have a fond memory of a time I spent in Sweden back in 2005. I had run out of money one night before my flight back to England, forcing me to spend a night on the streets of Stockholm in -15 degs c weather. Part of the reason I had run out of money is that several days before I had bought two Fela CD's to play on my cdman. At first I tried to stay inside the expansive building of T Centralen where my train the next afternoon would take me to the airport. However at 11pm I and many others, travelers and legit homeless were pushed out into the snow by Police. Closed till morning. The homeless people left the area quickly leaving just a young African man and myself wondering what to do. We struck up a conversation in regards to our situation. I was in inadequate clothing for the weather and he in a worse situation. He had only that afternoon arrived at the airport from Nigeria to stay with his cousin. From the airport he rang his cousin to be told. 'Get a train into the city and I'll meet you in the morning.' So here he was in a tracksuit and trainers fresh from the heat of another continent and the prospect of spending the night on the frozen streets. We decided to move out of the wind and did so as best we could. In the lea I produced my cdman and showed him the CD's I had. He was delighted to find Fela among my selection. We then spent the next four hours dancing to keep warm sharing an earbud each, connected awkwardly by the wire. He tried to teach me how to do some Afrobeat steps and together we passed the hours until a bus station across the road open at around 4am. Inside the warmth we drank coffee and chatted more until around 6am I went to wait for my train to the airport and he went off to meet up with his cousin. I have forgotten his name at this point. Yet I think I shall always remember till my dying day the cold, cold night I danced to Fela's wonderful Afrobeat to stay warm with the Nigerian stranger who may have been one of the nicest people I ever met. :)

    This was Fela's commentary on theocracy and religious politicians in Nigeria. In this song he criticizes the Muslim and Christian elites in Nigeria for telling people to accept poverty and suffering because they will supposedly be rewarded in an "afterlife". This would make a great anti-Boko Haram anthem as they demand people give up everything good in life for fundamentalist Islam.

      Fela Kuti was certainly the originator of many expression in Nigerian Pidgin. He did not create the words, but he gave them different meaning. Even, the Pidgin of modern Afrobeat follows Fela Kuti's mocking pronunciation. Here are some Pidgin expressions Fela Kuti originated:
      Yellow Fever: - the disease of a black person who bleached their skin.
      Zombie: - (mostly military) people who mindlessly follow illegal orders.
      Johnny Just Drop: - a person who is new to an environment, subject, skill, or belief.
      Paddy-Paddy Government: - the practice among those with power or influence, of favouring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs and contracts.
      Lady: - A female who thinks she is too posh or high class.
      Scatter/Scatter: - Disorganization, disorder, disarray, like the mess Nigeria finds itself, politically and economically.
      Power Show: - Shameless and childish abuse of power
      You go hear am: - you will bear the worst part or full impact of a specified thing
      (There are so many expression, and they are now common Pidgin expression)

      ultimately james brown was influenced by the sounds of barrel house music and the black church. jimi hendrix acknowledged his musical influence came from the blues as that is really all jimi played, he was also influenced by little richards boogie woogie style. fela's music sound and groove is a mix of james brown, american jazz and native african juju music. i would add a little jamaican ska but ska was influenced by american rock n roll and motown. black american's gave more to fela than the world will ever realize by way of influences and it goes beyond the music. this i have personally heard him acknowledge only a few years before his death..

    How disturbing is it that it's 2020 and everything he says is still relevant in today's Nigeria.

    Bravo to all of you young people are listen to this Master of a musician, this makes me very proud, that there are not only Justin Bieber or Ariana Grande listeners in this age of 14 years and upward

    O yeeees, good music has no bounds and can never get old. Like this piece. The brother-man has gone to his maker but through music his memory lives on. Peace upon him and may God bless his children.

      Me too. What year was it? 1985? That was the first time I had heard of him. Blew me away.

    When Fela Kuti did this song over 40 years ago, who will imagine that the people of Nigeria and Africa will still be suffering and smiling til date. A failure of leadership by embezzlers masquerading as leaders

    This is the first Fela song I heard. It shook something loose inside me. Exploring his extensive discography and learning about his revolutionary approach to life has been an amazing experience. What an inspirational force for good. Thanks for the upload!
