I used to listen to this as a teen and my classmates would ask wtf are you listening to ,I’d give them the earphones and they would say yeah yeah
God Himself crown Fela has king of Afro beat music. Listen carefully to his composition and lyrics. GREAT MUSIC GENIUS.

Decades after his death, Fela lives on.
Fela was an excellent composer and arranger. His dexterity with the piano and sax were superlatively excellent. We miss you and love you. Rest well.
Yeah

VIVA AFRICA!!!
-- Fela Kuti(From "Viva Nigeria")
Great talented artist and composer with genius skills stay blessed and may ur eternal soul rest in peace❤❤❤❤❤
Fella was ahead of his time, and more educated than the military men who catapulted themselves to the national and international stage, with a bloodbath coup. Today, his voice is louder and clearer than his days of torture at the hands of the military. You can kill a man to destroy him. But you can never kill or destroy his ideas. Fela is a tangible example of this philosophical adage. Flea children deserves an apology from OBJ, and all the military leaders after him
Cette musique me donne la chaire de poule bravo à toi mon fan fela kuti un artiste ne meurt jamais
´First record i got from Fela. Blew my mind then. Blows my mind now.
33 years ago, he said Nigeria was all about the friend-know-friend government. Here we are in 2018 and it is the same story! What a man Fela is, or should i say a prophet! 15 billions missing then not missing, very typical Nigeria!
Thank you my brother!
here in russia the same...
@@QuiltyVal I'm a Nigerian but currently live in Russia (Moscow). Russia is far better, at least people enjoy social amenities with good standard of living at affordable level. In Nigeria things are very horrible, only the elites can afford what the masses can afford in Russia.
@@arimiyauolubowale1261 bro) you are in moscow, pls visit other places in russia, moscow is not all of russia
@@QuiltyVal I have heard so too. I would .... So Moscow is just like Abuja where most people visit and feel Nigeria is awesome.
Yep : good job as usual, black President Fela... Continue to rest in perfect peace! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Wait first, how did Fela see so much? How did he see so much of the future?
Nah, he didnt see the future. Our problems have just remained thesame.
Fela was not singing about the future. He was singing about what was happening at the time.
@@mellow4603💯 Sir
Je suis un blanc, français. Je l'ai vu en 1978 à Angers.
J'étais coltranien. Je le suis resté.
Avec lui, car j'ai entendu qu'il étais son héritier...
Comment ne pas pense à Africa Brass ?
The Legend of All times
I’ve alway's wonder if military history and the after affect of those who participated in physical war are taught? Like the long ranges affect on those who never claims PTSD; nor share their experiences? Especially those forgotten, or ignored? Those who fought on two-fronts, the VFWs (with arms) and those on the home-front (the survivors) without arms?
Bill Laswell's version was not Fela's vision. That's all...
Na wayou government we dey ooo
I saw Fela perform in Los Angeles, 1986.
You are one of the few lucky ones to have seen him perform live, some of us were not so lucky. RIP Fela.
Fela was like a prophet; sensed all these mess Nigeria is in now. Only God go save am from this "bad condition", according to Fela Anikolakpo Kuti.
Obasanjo is wayo military crook... 16$ Billions electrification funds crawled away under the Atlantic ocean.... Wayo thief. Arranging master.
Some organ chords, man. Not sure if they are deliberately dissonant. Powerful though....
Na soul enjoymentooo
Bernard Chomba RIP Love you Brother. 😭
baba fela o. me & you no dey the same category. RIP
One day go bi one day...one day go bi one day...those wey dey steal the money for Africa...one day go bi one day...
One day most be one day ' great legend has spoken.
fela is nice man in Nigeria
I am a big fan of Fela on the tenor Saxophone, trumpet, and sometimes on the piano but never his fan on the soprano sax 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
He was one of the greatest things to have come out of Africa.
Wish that Jazz artists could do a tribute album for him just as they did for Bob Marley, Grover Washington, Ray Charles etc. What a delight that'd be.
The Bassline (m.m.d.r: m.d.l:) was one of my favorites as a bassist back then
I don't think he was keen on even the piano too. He was all about the wind instruments.
Cuando leí en el periódico como fue su entierro, lloré , a la altura de su música
Na wetin fela talk still dey happen na wayo government we dey
the music in this is incredible

Nice of baba
revolutionafrikademocratie !!!!!! lovemamafrika!!!
Amazing album.
Army arrangement in 1979 has begotten a twin in 2023, APC ,Thiefnubu and rogueuersor Mahmoud Yakubu and STEALNEC have given us the most shitty chappy election ever. Big shame on them all. Croone on Baba Fela from your grave. The best and greatest African musician ever! The best bun ch of poetic instrumentalists and music philosophers ever come from the shores of Africa !!!.

Yr videos are sooo perfect 🥰 💞 👌 😍 ❤️ ✨️
Abami..........
.......
Let's take a couple of minutes and really think about the level of genius artistic expression it takes for Fela as a composer to be able to use special forms of musical notations to create multiple sets of instructions which each member of his band then applies their individual instruments in other to perform this wonderful piece of musical arrangements, rhythms, pitch, tone, tempo, harmony, and melody that supports the chords. Wow!
Raw talent
I don't know why the Bill Laswell album is considered 'bad'- personally, i think it's a great album, especially the title track :)
Why doesn't he stop sucking off Fela's music and get lost?
i think it's just poorly phrased, they're saying the production is bad, not the content. i can't hear the backing vocals well enough, the brass section is a little sloppy compared to other albums, etc.
In case there's any confusion, this version (in this video) is not the Laswell version--the is the Fela version.
Peoples President 🎉🎉
Real AfroBeat.
Yes, uncle Fela Ransome kuti is an African saxophone legend in Sub-Saharan in 1970s!
I beg your pardon,,, This is FOREVER the best. The special gift to the world by God Almighty.
No one living now or then ever close to equal to Fela, period!
No, his name is Fela Anikulapo Kuti. No more to slave name "Ransom"
🌈🌹💐🌹💐🌹💐🌹👌👌👌🌹❤️❤️❤️🌈
ño!
Great Album
Can someone post the track list?
Water no get enemy, Gentleman, Coffin for head of state, I.T.T, Zombi, Unkown soldier, Music of many colours, Authority Stealing

Is there a definitive version of “Cross Examination” that Fela approved of, rather than the Bill Laswell remix that was on the first edition of the album? Peace.

nor go dey
This is one of the 1st tracks I heard from fela.
+frankorepsw Thanks for going back memory lane from Fela's LP Army Arrangement (y)
I was lucky to see the very first live performance of this song.
@@dansatchkabaka4415 - saw this performed as a precocious 14-year old at the Shrine - it must have been around 1980 or 1981 latest. Halcyon days. Fela **never** performed his songs live once they had been released.
...gotta say, this recording does sound a bit odd - it comes across as rather 'electronic' and not very 'earthy', if you get my meaning.
@@illitrait I believe this is the Bill Laswell mix of this track...
