As a black woman of 44 people don’t understand my love for worldwide jazz often. You see the output of American music nowadays. I’m so grateful for Fela. This is SOUL SPIRITUAL MUSIC!
I would like to start a documentary program/show about all these iconic figures in both music and movie industry including fela himself,Hubert ogunde, Muyideen Alade Alomire, Baba sala, Gbenga Gbenga Adeboye and the likes
Your idea, if you make it, would be another big contribution to restarting Afrikan civilization. We are currently trapped in the worship of foreign things and icons alien to us. We are lost. Your idea is needed urgently.
And there we were all bundled up together around the fire listening to The Tony Michael's Podcast on TH-cam. He was using what 'they' some call foul language. However, trying his very best to teach us anything but absolute fucking nonsense. Free🇵🇸
In 1980 I was living in Ikorodu and went to see Fela perform at the Shrine. Unforgettable. After the show (I was the only white man there) I went to Fela's house. RIP Fela, you were the greatest.
Congratulations. You want a cookie? You people ALWAYS have to inform us of your whiteness as if that makes you special. We don't care! I saw Fela, and I don't have to come here and proclaim my blackness. No one cares!
My children and I broke bread to this music the other day. Afterwards, we danced and danced. The energy was so real! We hugged and danced some more. My adult son had tears in his eyes, he felt it so strongly.
Thanks for love my father fela anikulapo kuti freedom figher baba 70 RIP May bless ur soul my real prophet what talk about everything come true in my country once again Baba 70 RIP
Thats the spirit behind Afrobeats....Its so powerful and why the snowflakes are so scared of it....and unfortunately for them, they cannot hijack it...One love.
You tube made listening to Fela Kuti absolutely miserable with it's constant ads and interruptions. I could only get through 20 minutes before I couldn't take it anymore. I have been listening to Fela since I was in college way back when and one of my favorite tunes to this day is ' ZOMBIE ' !!!!!!!
FELA IS A YORUBA MAN FROM YORUBA NATION IN THE PRESENT UNFORTUNATE COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA. YORUBA NATION AND HER BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE IS ABOUT 17,000 YEARS OLD. THESE PEOPLE ATE PRE-HISTORY
Osmonbi Kajiko I’m from Igbo tribe , I love fela kuti so much. Have you seen the recent drama that happened in Abuja when one of the leader was fainting and waking up due to questions they asked him on how he squandered money at his control. That thing reminds me about fela kuti music and they’re all happening today
@@donbright3227 You are from Ibo ETHNIC Nation. Ibo is not a tribe, educate yourself and stop listening to your enemies narratives. (Pale-Skin- Neanderthal), from Europe.
Osmonbi Kajiko Hausa Igbo and Yoruba are three major tribe in Nigeria. Each can be described as ethnic group or tribe . They’re all the same , anyway thanks for letting me know . I’m writing from Dubai, United Arab Emirates
@@donbright3227 No, let me educate you more on this topic ok YORUBA is a nation long b4 (Ayesu) wS born a.k.a by Europeans (Jesus Christ). YORUBA NATION has about 21 tribes which I will mention few; (1) REMO (2) IJEBU (3) IJEŞA (4) OYO (5) AWORI OF (EKO) (6) ANAGO IN (B.REPUBLIC & TOGO (7) IFE (8) EKITI (9) ONDO (10) KWARA (11) IGBOMINA (12) IBOLO (13) OŞUN (14) ĘGBA (15) YEWA (16) ITŞĘKIRI (17) AKOKO ĘDO IN (EDO STATE) (18) OKUN (KOGI STATE)
Dude, that's the coolest thing I've heard in a while. James Brown, Fela, Curtis Mayfield, Jimmy McGriff and BB King are my top 5. I recommend all of them.
34 year old white American here and I fell in love with Fela's beautiful music and message. I've been listening since 2000 and have had many people follow the musical trail of felas. Peace and love
I saw Fela perform twice in Chicago during the 80s. Amazing and entertaining. It was a treat. i'm 64yo and have fond memories of back them. Stay safe. Greeting from FL.
Listening from Italy 🇮🇹. If fela was a white man he would have been celebrated world wide. He's the greatest African musician and one of the greatest globally.
S/O my father for having an excellent ear for music. He passed away 2011 and that man left me with his taste. By the time I was 11 years old I knew the melodies and lyrics of this masterpiece like the back of my hand. He would often say "Son if the music isn't powerful and doesn't move your soul, why listen to it?. " Rest in Power Dad, Rest In Power legendary Aníkúlápó Kuti✊
Oscars are for cinema. You’re talking about Grammys. As talented as Adela was, those awards aren’t really respectable and Africans shouldn’t chase for that approval.
The likes of JAY-Z, Stevie Wonder and Sir Paul McCartney can project this suggestion. These Iconic stars can see to it that a Post Humour Oscar is awarded to Fela. These 3 great artists knew Fela and understood what he stood for and all his struggles. Fela's children will be so touched should such is awarded to them for their Father's work. Afterall Fela is being recognised globally, at least via Afro Beat.
And they say European classical music is the height of genius. Mozart. Chopin, Beethoven show me how you’d accomplish this. Never. Musical genius comes in a rainbow colour. Go on Fêla. Tell it.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti the Abami Eda himself 👍my Dad will play all kinds of Fela’s music while growing up and i enjoyed every bit of his music, Fela is a realist , a story teller who speaks about true life experiences, a man who fought Nigerian Government with music not minding what the consequences could be , an activist to the core . His kind of music can never fade away it’s an evergreen music . I really appreciate he did made his own music which is an original piece of all kinds .
We called him abami eda. He is phenomenon. That remind me of the time when i cant do without strine at pepple street in ikeja, i am a born fela fan. The originator of afro beats, the prophet himsef.
I'm French. Saw him in concert in Paris in 1984.Been listening to Fela's music for 40 years now... and will never stop. It's my background music when I work late at night . Incredible musical figure and Freedom Hero. Risked many time his life. Music incarnate. He surpasses Bod Marley, Stewie Wonder, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Coltrane and many others brought together. His music makes me feel like I had many lives before this one and that in one of those lives I danced to the sound of this magic music... It gives life to a lot of nostalgic visions but also to visions of hope and of a future in which all human beings cooperate, overcome oppression, and share the world.
There is no simple way to explain Fela's genius - it is an orchestra, it is choral, it is jazz, it is alluring instrumental harmony, it is mesmerising rhythmic energy, it is Afro-beat! It's qualities are unprintable. It is deep in timbre and richness. The more you listen to it the more you discover! This is why it moves the soul! It is Fela! No one else on Earth can do it. He was one of a kind!
The music is different from previous content. Of course, there are recognized influences, therein. The music is ancestral consciousness as transmitted and exhibited by and in the human experience - known as Fela. Is it possible, the artistry of Fela is consistent with expressions of the most ancient ancestors? This truth warrior often wonders whether there is such a reality as split souls. Perhaps, Fela, Peter Tosh and Lucky Dube are split souls. It is conceivably, Fela, Peter Tosh and Lucky Dube shared DNA of several generations of common ancestors.
I always weep whenever l listen to fela song. Music that has deep meaning with messages addressing fundamental issues. Since he left, no one has been able to wear his shoe. Legends is hard to replace
I call on all Africans (blacks) all over the world to invest in the African continent. "Na black man go do am for black man". Liberate your people from the European slavery mindset that's still going on today. " No dey think say oyibo know pass Africa!
May we Europeans (whites) all over the world also liberate from the European slavery mindeset? It has been our oppressors who enslaved Africans - after they made us their servants.
That was the fastest hour and twenty minutes that I recall. Now I know it takes one round of Fela's "Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense" LP to pull a GMC's upper control arm. First time I've heard this.. is beyond incredible.
I FOLLOW & HEARING THIS GUY SINCE 1970 , I AM SIXTY FIVE OLD MAN , AND I THINKING YET , HER MUSIC IS FANTASTIC , I THINK , MAYBE IN OTHER LIFE I WAS AN AFRICAN MAN , I FEEL MANY STRONG THIS MUSIC , SALUTES , PARDON MY ENGLISH
J'ai acheté cet album quand il est sorti, en 1986, mon père et la plupart de mes ami-e-s m'ont regardé bizarrement... Mais je ne l'ai pas regretté, à ce jour, un seul instant !
Greetings, when I first heard Fela Kuti music I didn't understand but the more I was listening then I realize that he was a special person on earth, he had a special spirit that was giving to him by the universe. Long live fela Kuti. Your sista from costa Rica central America. Ache.
There's only one musician like this in a lifetime: Fela; a Nigerian who transcends tribal differences and religion, his music brought everybody together.
Had the privilege to meet Fela in Portland OR in 1991 or 92 & was mesmerized by his warm & calm energy in the green room surrounded by his ladies . He transformed into a beast on stage & looked like a giant in command .Several years later we had the honor to book Femi Kuti & met Seun Kuti at eh Wow Hall , I am blessed to meet him & his children following their dads footsteps.
I travelled from LA to Eugene, OR, just to see FEMI in a crazy concert around 2006....people say he projects half the energy his dad did on stage so, man, if FEMI almost blows up that small place in that 2006 concert (and the dancers...O M G), I cannot imagine what FELA did back in the day.... if I had a time machine, I d use it to see FELA live anywhere in the world....
My best friend was working in Nigeria and saw him live in 1996. He brought back an Album, 1st time I heard it, it totally blew my mind, never forgave him for seeing Fela Live. forever Jealous
Fela Anikulapo Kuti thank you for what you have done to africans, to human race, as a pioneer and example for encouraging people to live a free and spiritiual life, sharing your truth, speaking free in the face of Vagabonds.In.Power... Thanks for your great body and soul moving music arrangements! RESPECT YOU HONEST UPRIGHT MAN!!!
FELA (For Ever Lives Afrobeat), Abami Eda, Baba7070, you will never be forgotten. A true prophet, sadly your prophecies still continue to come true in Nigeria. The people refuse to learn.
From Côte-d’Ivoire, I had the privilège of attending FELA at a concert in ikoyi during my brief stay in Nigeria. This gentleman exudes an indisputable scenic energy. Fela will still mark for centuries the music of the demands of the people.
To be honest Fela was the music president to me I loved even today when he is no more. I am still listening to his music today my Nigerian poet and spiritual teller .
Only a legend like Fela Anikulapo Kuti, can play an instrumental and songs in one album for one straight hours plus and the listeners will not be bored....In fact, you will be sorry whenever the music ends. Rest on in peace,, ancestor Fela.
i accidentally stumbled across Fela Kuti on here. and wowowowowowow! i am blown away by how amazing his music was/is. definitely very beautiful to listen to. This is my 3rd album of his Ive listened to today. love from California.
when i first found out about him 20 some years ago i listened to him every day almost all day - i never got sick of it - it never ceased to amaze me still never does
@@daveleafey9283 GOD bless you. For this comment. Its so On point. I was introduced to fela as a youth & i still Listen to him till yhis day. He was a prophet Ahead of his time! Blessing!
Allez savoir pourquoi ? le 15 octobre 1938 au Nigéria naissait Féla, un génie de la musique ! Investigateur de l'Afro-beat ! Un talent inégalé dans son genre ! Respect Monsieur Kuti.
Before the rising of the Sun on this cold January day, with aching body from the daily & nightly struggles in these northwest suburbs of Chicago, yours truly ( other than those you aleady know & love) lies on his back on the cold concrete slab floor, with wool blankets, other bedding, & pillows for my bed. I listen & learn & love in return.
Its intoxicating. when i listen to Fela, it's like I am in a trance. Nothing has changed since back in the days when I used to watch and listen to him live at the shrine, the memory is just like yesterday. May his soul continue to rest in POWER!!!
and the fact that he speaks realty and future 👐 look at us now.. food trouble water trouble 🎶 petrol trouble 🎶 look pocket monie not there 🎶 suffer for world 🎶🎶🎶
When I was at the age of 20 Fela music was my life can't stay without his music now am 22 his music is a word of wisdom love you fela kuti can't stop playing your music
An absolutely amazing record..has only only get better over the years..."Teacher don't teach me nonsense" is a masterpiece...and the other tracks take it to another level..
There Will be no musician like Fela again in this world and in that which is to come..His like comes once in a century and am so blessed to live to witness the amazing act of this extraordinary human being..Fela is not of this world. He's pure Genius and a music grandmaster. Abemi Eda lives on !!!
Jazz would be bigger in popular culture if more of it were like this. The jazz star should be a thing like the rock star and rap star. There should be jazz musicals. I imagine one listening to this.
As a Cameroonian young man at 37, my surrounding pals find it strange that I indulge in Fela a lot. Only me know what I derive.
Yes i 💪🏽 yeah Mon!
Fela remains the best musician ever, evermore, for life...

Absolutely on the mark!🤗👏🏾
I hope Mr. Bod Marley takes no offense
Yes, transcendental artist Fela....but please sing and dance his praises without taking away from those other amazing artists you mention. Lotta love!
Alain Souchon with the famous song "Allô maman bobo" is far better !

I discovered this fantastic music when I lived in Brazzaville in the seventies, never stopped listening it
Nigeria has always been big on Music. Then and Now!!
From Côte-d’Ivoire, I had the privilège of attending FELA at a concert in ikoyi during my brief stay in Nigeria. This gentleman exudes an indisputable scenic energy. Fela will still mark for centuries the music of the demands of the people.
But he's not a Gentleman
I was there too
@@noahbogue1934 Lol! I see what you did there!
To be honest Fela was the music president to me I loved even today when he is no more. I am still listening to his music today my Nigerian poet and spiritual teller .
Фела - один из величайших музыкантов всех времён! Love from Russia❤
This great music legend of old time Fela Kuti will ever be alive in the mind of most us who knows & cherish his music so much.
Only a legend like Fela Anikulapo Kuti, can play an instrumental and songs in one album for one straight hours plus and the listeners will not be bored....In fact, you will be sorry whenever the music ends. Rest on in peace,, ancestor Fela.
One of my jazz musicians of all time
Fela and that legend Prince; sons of the same ancient African mother.
A legend and a genius!!
TRUST ME
HE WAS TOO GREAT TO BE FORGOTTEN
Just a reminder, we in 2023. Still can't get enough of this masterpiece 🌻. The medicine should be sold in pharmacy.
Pharmacies are there to kill you not to heal you.Fela rules.
Listening to Fela's lyrics, nothing has changed since his demise. Everything he sang about is still happening.
In reality vagabonds are still in power inflicting suppression and imaginalisation
Nothing has changed!!
I don’t know whether you were making a joke or whatever but it was sort of amusing how u wrote that. It’s sad if you are right too
Unfortunately nothing change, Buhari just left Aso rock and another old politician took over, we're just repeating the same error over and over again
i think it too, as i have heard some say, ''the more things change the more they stay the same''
Fela's music is timeless!
From Russia with love❤
Oh, how I can HEAR so many of Fela's influences in 20th and 21st-century soul, R&B, disco, rap, hot mixes, and hip hop.
Old is gold ,Rip kuti number one fun 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬
Fela Kuti, the undisputed King of AfroBeat of all time, your memory lives on till end of time.
i accidentally stumbled across Fela Kuti on here. and wowowowowowow! i am blown away by how amazing his music was/is. definitely very beautiful to listen to. This is my 3rd album of his Ive listened to today. love from California.
when i first found out about him 20 some years ago
i listened to him every day almost all day - i never got sick of it - it never ceased to amaze me

My greatest legend!
Nobody can do it like Fela kuti. His orchestra his trademark is very powerful.
A king will always be a king even in death. You taught Africa and the world through your songs how to be right and just. RIP king of afrobeat.
The Groove on this is utterly infectious. One day I will visit Nigeria and see his sons play this song live! I'm from Sri-Lanka :)
Best of d man s
You should ,the shrine, Lagos state...my first time was mind blowing...
Don't leave it too late brother. Kalakuta Republic!
THANKS VERY MUCH
NIGERIA HAS TO BE BETTER THAN TODAY,A GOOD NATION IS THORN INTO CRIMINALITY GOV
In 1973 I had the opportunity to hear his music at a party in Philadelphia Pennsylvania and I was a total fan…💯
Every time i listen to Fela I realise his legacy willl never die 🤘🏽Uk lockdown fav music 😀
The vibes is like wine.the older it goes the stronger it get..
Very well put.
the baritone sax on Teacher Don't Teach Me Nonsense is out of this world. It stays in your heart long after the song has finished playing.
Maybe with some drugs
Allez savoir pourquoi ? le 15 octobre 1938 au Nigéria naissait Féla, un génie de la musique ! Investigateur de l'Afro-beat ! Un talent inégalé dans son genre ! Respect Monsieur Kuti.
One of the great musical legends our continent has produced . RIP Fela. Keep rockin' it to dem guys up there . See you when I get there my brother .
Watching the great legend in 06/01/2024 from Chicago
Fela Kuti was on a different level as a musician!
Such talent!!!
Back in the day my dad blast this awesomeness in the car,home and I got addicted till today. Hope my kids carry on with it
One of best panafracanists. Some of his songs are like prophety. Thank you papy.
Before the rising of the Sun on this cold January day, with aching body from the daily & nightly struggles in these northwest suburbs of Chicago, yours truly ( other than those you aleady know & love) lies on his back on the cold concrete slab floor, with wool blankets, other bedding, & pillows for my bed. I listen & learn & love in return.
humnnnnnn speechless ......RISE AND SHINE
Much love 🖤
2019, I'm still listening to your prophecy and words of wisdom, You are a great legend indeed, RIP.
That side B of Teacher don't teach me nonsense...is truly awesomely calm, seldom and very reflective. Fela...you came, you sang and you conquered.
We still march to his beat 🇿🇦✌🏾👊🏿
Its intoxicating. when i listen to Fela, it's like I am in a trance. Nothing has changed since back in the days when I used to watch and listen to him live at the shrine, the memory is just like yesterday. May his soul continue to rest in POWER!!!
What makes Fela a musical genius is not the fact he created afro beat but his inimitable musical arrangement. No one does it like Fela and no one can.
and the fact that he speaks realty and future 👐 look at us now.. food trouble water trouble 🎶 petrol trouble 🎶 look pocket monie not there 🎶 suffer for world 🎶🎶🎶
ENOUGH RESPECT FOR SAYING THAT < N IT IS REAL
But what about Mr. Tony Allen? :)
Went last night and saw Femi in Sydney. He does a good job I reckon
He got express himself when he was in there- in the booth.
Shout out and salute 🫡 from the Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 family
Thank you for introducing us to West African music.
THIS , THE SWEETEST MUSIC WE BROUGHT FROM OUR HOMELAND KEMET . GREAT THANKS TO KING FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was at the age of 20 Fela music was my life can't stay without his music now am 22 his music is a word of wisdom love you fela kuti can't stop playing your music
An absolutely amazing record..has only only get better over the years..."Teacher don't teach me nonsense" is a masterpiece...and the other tracks take it to another level..
Really loving Fela Kuti's music. Great musicianship too from the band and singers.
Increase the Peace.
Good
I found Fela tonight and he found my soul....
Where have you been bro !!!
There Will be no musician like Fela again in this world and in that which is to come..His like comes once in a century and am so blessed to live to witness the amazing act of this extraordinary human being..Fela is not of this world. He's pure Genius and a music grandmaster. Abemi Eda lives on !!!
Never
There can be never be another Fela but there can be an OLADS THE VOICE!
WORLD, BRACE YOURSELF!!!
For sure he was a great musician by then
Black man\ black magic
White man / white magic
Systematic racism for thousands of years. Music heals.
Jazz would be bigger in popular culture if more of it were like this. The jazz star should be a thing like the rock star and rap star. There should be jazz musicals. I imagine one listening to this.
You will never never be wiped out in the memory of people. I'm blessed to listen to your songs of wisdom
I have to come back to my Uncle and connect so now and than. Always a feast
The music and its messages relevant till today. Fela lives on…
God bless fela kuti the founder of Afrobeat...
The legend. Fela Kuti is our school, we are learning. Izwe Lethu!! iAfrika!!!
Everywhere should be. Greetingz from Hungary! :)
Mayibuye I Africa
Truer words have never been said about Fela. So succinct. Thank you sir! Fela for ever.
Yessssss
Many years down the line...still no foot big enough to fit your shoes...FELA is an ideology, a vision my children must know. Live ON BABA!!!
Abami Eda, the weird ones come once in a lifetime.
Make sure you always play his record with them
I will always love you 😍 Baba Fela. always the best 👍
