Yes Maxwell, fela fought the Evil Nigerian military government of that time for all his life!!! Even wealthy people like Abacha respected him, but didn't support him financially or otherwise!!! Live kuti!!! Only fela!!! Rest in peace brother!!! You helped us WAKE!!!! Your energy keeps us MOVING FORWARD!!!!! Your precious MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!
My Dad would always play this when we were younger and I remember singing along in the car, and have been singing it ever since but only just rediscovered it tonight!
MulticolouredFlyFish that’s really cool that you grew up with music like this. That’s something I hope to do with my future kids is show them diverse music, especially from different parts of the world
BlackCreationTV poverty, prostitution, gas flaring, petroleum spillage, government corruption and money laundering, foreign reserve embezzlement (gold bars sold), fuel scarcity, unemployment and inflation outta control, struggling people robbing the poorer and dying roadside beggers. generally, man and animal suffering without much hope... i could go on
Revolution, resistance, blind compliance all begin with recognition of the existing oppressive authority. Until we are willing to look away and live free, accepting the responsibilities, this steady deterioration of the human condition will continue. Every violent revolution in recorded history ends with worse conditions for the people. The revolution must take place in the mind
realmente creo que ellos dos estan por debajo, sobretodo Michael, Fela era todo, musico cantante, politico, subversivo , agitador, grandes letras.The Wailers era una tremenda banda, pero lo de Africa 70 ya es descomunal
I agree with that it is one Fela best but there are other that are equal this music like "Movement of the people no 1", "Who are you re", "Upside down". Men they are numerous men.
Back in the days, Africa is the central of World during ancient Egyptian and Prophet Joseph or Yusuf in the Quran, Bible, Torah.. Pharaoh and Joseph or Yusuf fed the rest of World citizens with Africans food, resources . The Citizens of world including 12 Tribe of Israel came to African to seek Political asylum in Africa during the time of the Pharaoh and Joseph or Yusuf. For example, Abraham or Ibrahim, Sarah, Jesus, Mary, Jacob, Mohammad in the Quran came to Africa continent to seek political asylum amongst Africa citizens. For example, Africa ligistment govt or leadership the Pharaoh was overthrew By European Romans Empire 2000years ago. It was 2000 yrs ago Jesus came to earth. 2 coming of Jesus back to Earth. Africa Citizens or Africa Continent will be back again for good..

I do this for my 3 and 8 year old sons now. I stumbled upon Fela but they will know his name!
That is so cute. May your memories be as sweet as your childhood seem to have been; great music.
Your dad is a Legend
Brilliant song. And quite groovy, too. Thank you Fela, RIP to one of the greats.
I'm a fun of fela i was Born in 1972 Feb 16 so I get the message he was preaching he was prophet I tell you hear He's message
The definition of magnificence in music!
One of the best of Fela's music.
Have only recently discovered Kuti's brilliant music...thanks for posting this one too!
Time will come, time will go, but this music will stick on it the way a scar sticks on a healed skin.
crazy 49 years laters and Nigerian youth and police are still begging causing hold up until they get there money
You have nailed it son
No music in the world can be compared to the songs of MAGIC FELA. rip big man, thanks for leaving your music behind.
Bbc
anna diaspora I agree
At all
The painful thing is all these songs where sang in 70's and in 2020 all the problems are still there.
Those, and more now. Remember when Fela said, "...we fear for the air around us...we fear for the thing we cannot see..."?
@@tommi1864 well said...
Gotta say , Fela’s album cover art is some of the best I’ve ever seen,
Quite agree with you
The master himself let's all go into the under world spiritual world where an earthquake had striked the soil will never be the same again
There is so much meaning in that album cover!
Incredible ain't it? Keep coming back just to look at it

Africa 70 basslines are all killer basslines.

Na real unnecessary begging on Obi mandate mo du to RIP Fela
good tunes.
Columbia, South Carolina - Check.
Can you hear Revolution!? ✊🏿

So spiritual
stand firm Kalakuta
My pride 😤
The beat reminds me of Gentleman's beat played backwards.
The only people that can top Fela music is Bob Marley and Michael Jackson
realmente creo que ellos dos estan por debajo, sobretodo Michael, Fela era todo, musico cantante, politico, subversivo , agitador, grandes letras.The Wailers era una tremenda banda, pero lo de Africa 70 ya es descomunal

I’d have to say this is an amazing album. And anyone know who did the artwork it’s amazing.
I agree with that it is one Fela best but there are other that are equal this music like "Movement of the people no 1", "Who are you re", "Upside down". Men they are numerous men.
Thank you for those recommendations.
