My 1st Fela CD in 1997.I bought it in Zimbabwe. It soothed my soul during a very difficult time. I remember listening to it every day for hours on end. This song saved my soul.
The genesis of Afrobeat that defined the 70s was that heavy funk infusion from the black music scene of the likes of James Brown. That blend of Afrobeat was spectacular as it was heavy rhythm. Then we turn to “second bass “ of the eighties were the Afrobeat was mellower as is d case in this masterpiece
the horn arrangement on this song is wicked. i stand to be corrected, no one in my opinion can arrange horns like baba 70. The way he used his piano to call the horn section to BLOW is just sick. the interplay between his piano and the horns section, walahi can cause wonderfulument. The wonder made me shout just like that
The 'jolly old boi' .. Abami Eleniyan, The Black President.. i am glad to be a 'living disciple' of yours.. you were like Jesus to us back them days.. i can NEVER forget driving you to 'Jazz 38' on Awolowo rd, to Francis Kuboye's joint, as we approached Ikoyi, Mobile Police stopped my Benz, you sat confidently (front passenger seat) as they realised who you are! 😂 treasured n immortalised forever. 🤔 i remain Loyal Baba mi.. Always was & will be.. Sún rè ooo! 🙏🏾 .. ✊🏾😎
Oh my God. What a great legend 💝! This song is the order of the day(2021) in Nigeria now. This is the realest prophecy made by the only prophet made in Nigeria
Anyone who underrates the song does so at their peril because fella had too many songs for different moods, occasion and everyone started their journey with abami at different times in their life.
Fela the only artist every time you listen to one of his tunes you will say this one is the best I mean every single track which means he is simply the BEST
Spot on. And that is just another wing of his uniqueness. A true master of his art. He has weaved a spell over us that will leave us permanently enraptured. The King Lives
It's obviously hard to poi t to Fela's best track or album. You learn new things and enjoy cool vibes and tunes with every tracks. This is a nice Political and Historical Lesson for the youth unborn. Rest On Baba70🙌
In 1966 civil war start to keep Nigeria one I remember the slogan to keep Nigeria one A task dat must be done Dem kill plenty Ibos before di war And more during di war Our leaders start dem show Gowon Divide am into twelve Murtala and Obasanjo den come Divide am into 19 Shagari and Awolowo den won Divide am into more Just like that (Just like that) Just like that (Just like that)
Damnit! Freaking genius Fela... Just imaging the rhymes, the contrast, the irony, the sarcasm that go into that delivery of PROFOUND TRUTH! Fela was more just a musician! It's good he made these songs. I think, somehow, Providence just make him make these documents to help Africa documents it's history. I swear down, without these works, the establishments is sure to distort history or even grossly by negligence and even deliberately.
Desde niño fan del Afrika Beat sp Fela Kuti y su lucha por la igualdad Nigeria y todo el mundo. Gracias a la tecnología libre ahora sabemos más y llegaremos a entendernos sin odio en el corazón. Aislemos a los violentos.
If there is something else i must thank my father for letting grow up to know in life , is AFRO BEAT .my dad plays dis songs endlessly , yet he does smoke or drink , but the intellectuality in the songs .
Akuba Oranyan! Oranyan (or Oranmiyan) was a powerful Yoruba king and god. There is an obelisk representing him in Ile Ife (Nigeria). Fela dropping heavy stuff and heavy rhythms.
Am kenyan born 87 never heard on radio but the beat is similar to what my late dad listen to i think it was Franco'S from zaire lisening to these tune and rhythm from fela i can help but think Africa was and is a country NOT a continet.
John Kabuoro mmmm u this use to be played in late 80s...that time u were a toddler lol utakumbukaje?i was class two that time n guess what my teacher was my neighbour playin his new big radio full blast...we didnt need to hav a radio.. we cud jus listen to his😆😆
Profound political activism with accurate prophetic declaratiions (underground spiritual games). Spiritual games, uhmmm, a mindblowing phenomenon for the select few. Exceptional talent.
U live forever in our heart "ABABI EDA" see wetin dey happen now, the same fucking thiefs and killers r still playing their games on us."GOD HELP OUR NATION" UP 9ja.
I swear bro. That civil war verse truly brought me to tears! We really lucky to have Fela made these records. I wish more people place Fela for consciousness. Nigerians need to understand the importance of Fela's message in ingrain them into their consciousness.
JUST LIKE THAT,YOU UP AND LEAVE...HOLES LEFT IN HEARTS TO GRIEVE... ANOTHER STRONG BLACK WOMAN , RELEASED IN THE WIND TODAY...A TRUE PHENOMENAL WOMAN ,AND I MEAN THAT IN EVERYWAY .. STOOD THROUGH THE TEST OF TIMES, LOST AFTER LOST....YET BEAUTY FROM YOUR FACE, REMAINED RADIANT LIKE A SHINE OF LIP GLOSS. I SEND THIS MESSAGE TO YOU IN THE WIND MORSA.. COULDN'T LET THIS DAY GO BY WITHOUT A NOTE TO YOU..I FELT A NEED TO SEND... BROKEN PROMISES ALL AROUND ...NEVER SEEMED TO KEEP A GOOD WOMAN DOWN. THANKFUL FOR THE TIMES THAT WERE SHARED, MANY GOOD MEALS ON THE TABLE PREPARED...HOMEMADE YEAST ROLLS , SHRIMP GUMBO IN A BIG POT...SERVED UP TO ALL WHO CAME BY AND WAS HUNGRY ,NICE AND HOT.. THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE❣️ THIS ONES FOR YOU

Amen. This song is from the Gods
Fela is the Voice of the African man against All odds dehumanization..GOD help Africa most especially Nigeria the Enemies are within..(People)

My friend Suliman introduced me to Fela Kuti, I am grateful he did
He was sent to open our eyes and prepare us for what is to come , as a teenager then I played his music like crazy. Prophecy 🥠
Keep listening like I have it 9nly gets better,all the lyrical mastery bopping away to the beat, Felas Beat and the Afro beat sound.
This is a very underrated song. In my opinion it's one of Fela's best tracks!
I totally agreed with u
I couldn't agree more. The multi-layered arrangement speaks to his genius. Yeah Yeah!
I agree with you!!!!!
TRUE.
I agree
One word : Masterpiece 🔥💯💯💯💯🎉🔥
Best kamit artist ever. An egyptian maat priest. Spiritual healing music. Strong.

November 13th who's still listening. the Struggle is real.
The only thing is I give thanks to my father Jesus Christ for giving me the opportunity to be a part of the movement
Your oxymoron is quite intriguing, Chief. The message has been effectively conveyed and well understood.🤣
undeniable spiritual healing... Still my best musician
Fela Is A Father Of This Great Nation Nigeria, For Me This Is One Of Fela Best Music.. May Your Soil Rest In Peace.
In 1966 civil war start to keep Nigeria one
I remember the slogan to keep Nigeria one
A task dat must be done
Dem kill plenty Ibos before di war
And more during di war
Our leaders start dem show Gowon
Divide am into twelve
Murtala and Obasanjo den come
Divide am into 19
Shagari and Awolowo den won
Divide am into more
Just like that (Just like that)
Just like that (Just like that)
Damnit! Freaking genius Fela...

Timeless music 25 years ago I don't know what made me play this just fantastic music
The arrangement was top notch👌. One of my favourite Fela Kuti songs❤.
I wasn't surprised when Sir Paul McCartney (Beatles ) said he visited Fela's shrine at Ikeja on many occasions to see his shows
I think all the Beatles went to see him live in Nigeria in the 60s/70s whilst tripping on shrooms, very lucky guys
AMAZING! "In my country... things happen Just Like That!"
TreyPrankz what country
Just like that everywhere all over the globe
This song is a clear message & reminder to young Nigerians, Africa and nation wide...one of fela's best song for me.
Ranks high in my list too
all Nigeria we never forget this great icon musician R l P kuti
Surely one of Legend Fela Kuti's best tracks!
This is my favorite song by Fela
Simply put....GREAT GENIUS PAR EXCELLENCE!!!
SIMPLICITER!!!
''I day see wonderful pass you''. I learnt Nigeria had a Civil War from this song.
It was Africa's first Rwanda!
If there is something else i must thank my father for letting grow up to know in life , is AFRO BEAT .my dad plays dis songs endlessly , yet he does smoke or drink , but the intellectuality in the songs .
MY RELIGION IS FELAISM
Fela the great very special being he was and he lives on
Another wonderful song by Fela. Wao :-)
Dove c é buona musica i commenti di presunti connazionali non mancano mai.
Mi fa piacere.
2018 still the best song, Just Like dat
Akuba Oranyan! Oranyan (or Oranmiyan) was a powerful Yoruba king and god. There is an obelisk representing him in Ile Ife (Nigeria). Fela dropping heavy stuff and heavy rhythms.
Thank you for today's moment in Yoruba history. Akuba Oranyan was Alaafin of Oyo.
Thank you
the tune...i use to hear the radio plays when i was young....late eighties it use to be so much in kenyan one radio n only radio station lol
Am kenyan born 87 never heard on radio but the beat is similar to what my late dad listen to i think it was Franco'S from zaire lisening to these tune and rhythm from fela i can help but think Africa was and is a country NOT a continet.
John Kabuoro mmmm u this use to be played in late 80s...that time u were a toddler lol utakumbukaje?i was class two that time n guess what my teacher was my neighbour playin his new big radio full blast...we didnt need to hav a radio..

Hahaha actually the year should be around 90-93 listen to franco's mamou theres some similarities
The james brown of 🇳🇬 my favorite track...
Profound political activism with accurate prophetic declaratiions (underground spiritual games). Spiritual games, uhmmm, a mindblowing phenomenon for the select few. Exceptional talent.
This is one song that gets me in a trance whenever I listen to it
hyppe Nkosi it’s strenuous not to.
Wonderfulumenty. Akuba, oroyan. One of my best track. Have listen to this track for more than a thousand time. Yet I no dey tire...

This is the reasoning why they made him died young the full secret of Nigeria was in his hands. And he don't send them it was best track.
I swear bro.
That civil war verse truly brought me to tears!
We really lucky to have Fela made these records. I wish more people place Fela for consciousness. Nigerians need to understand the importance of Fela's message in ingrain them into their consciousness.

Fela's the Best!!!
