The entire catalogue, released on Kntting Factory Records, is available on the Fela website (fela.net/), along with documentaries and recorded concerts, CDs and vinyl, tee shirts, posters and many other items.
I love Fela. I have lived in Lagos from 73 to 76 and I used to visit him in his house and at the shrine where he had a bad habit in asking people the next song he should play. And as soon as he noticed me in the crowd he would say NO before I opened my mouth. He knew that I was going to ask for Trouble Sleep (as usual). He hated me for this because he never wanted to play a song that was already recorded. My life in Lagos in those years are unforgettable. I was in my twenties straight from Paris to Yaba. I met there the most wonderful people in the world and unfortunately I have lost tracks of all of them. Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!
wow!
why was it a bad habit? i'm curious.
@@amihogatai8432 As far as I know he didn't like to play live songs that were previously recorded.
That is super cool, but I reckon he may have been upset with that request coz of all the way better songs he had in his repertoire! ;-) (that, yes, didn't mean as much to you personally) Please understand I mean you no personal disrespect. Just trolling! I love everyone who reads this especially YOU!
My favourite is Gentleman
Felas music is forever touching the skin of my soul
Genius. I get cold anytime I listen to this musical arrangement; from the saxophone to the keyboards to the drums, he managed to produce one of the most beautiful and unique sounds out of Africa. On Par with Beethoven music.
Fela Kuti is the best musical artist to emerge from the continent of Africa. He did not compromise on his music and philosophy despite the brutality suffered at the hands of the Nigerian government. He lost his mother a political activist to the brutal regime of the “Zombies” Nigerian army. Abami Eda RIP
Zombies
sorry my brother he is the best to emerge from this Galaxy

Amazing intro. I'm from south africa and I am 23. just want to say that baba Fela moves my soul man
He is a Legend who set the path for the likes of Hugh Masikela
So glad he was prolific...I cannot get enough of his music!!!!
I listened Fela for the first time 1972 and now at 64 years old still get the same emotional filling I felt back then amazing!
@Fela Kuti Dear Kuti family, I am writing on July 1, 2023. This masterpiece of rhythm is in its golden year!!! Sounds FANTASTIC AT 50!!!! Be blessed!!!
Nigeria's greatest son, Fela. Way before his time. Genius with a good heart for righteousness . R. I. P. My brother.
Been jamming a lot of fela lately and man this right here while toking up a fat joint is badass
Spectacular intro to this track..what a man, what a band!
Fela lyrics is pure and honest. He was a free man. he said things exactly the way they ought to be, He his honest, and very fearless

I am a rebel. This man is my total hero. A very powerful message using the arts. don fok os aroun mon...we watching u. Remain an Africa man! For gods sake. Thank God for Fela!! My papa/brother/hero.
FELA .. my youth, my mature, my present, my future ! THANKS for all the friends you gave me with your music !
From the first listen... He spoke to my soul
Fela is a gentle man but know one like fela in this Nigeria.like 2pac in USA
Fela and DaGrin are just like 2pac.
The saxophone play is so legendary even Jcole sampled it to make his apology song to Nas.
I just realized it while listening to the intro,Fela made generational music
The intro is just insane!!!
The best intro ever
Yesterday I finally saw this album for sale in person for the first time in my life and just about lost it I just couldn't bite the price tag
Fela for life
He is indeed the sun of the soil my beautiful continent my pride my joy. Where else could you get this connoisseur if not in Africa
in a virtual world where the truth will still be stifled, subdued and propagandised, this music is more relevant and at the same time more accessible than ever. Share the music, share the truth and share the love. Those who are not zombie will sing and share with us. FELA IS STILL WITH US. ALL of US. In his music, his message and his SPIRT, He never left :)) Today I type a message to someone Ive never met but have found something in common with. He gave us something to share but its not ours to keep. Share this and the message will be heard by the ears that need to hear it. So many do these days! Peace Fam!
his music make sense so much today, just listen to colonial mentality the ting way black no good foreign things they like no be so
Peace 🕊️
Africa power !! El ritmo y la danza la poesia viva de nuestra esencia como seres esta en las mujeres y hombres de esta tierra castigada por la injusticia!
Great ans strong music, great and strong man, no one can replace him. Thank you Mister FELA
As a man in his early fifties from a working class family I cannot say that I had Fell Kuti heard many times, but years, and I mean decades, later I can hear Blue Note as well as west Africa rhythms & instrumentation. Just trying to say this is soul music no matter where you came from.
I LOOOVE Fela sooo much!!! Smh I listen to his music religiously EVERYday. I wish I had the chance to meet him. Now I found this UA-cam channel just today! What a treat! I'm on a cloud. Thank you so much for this FELA channel.
Smh means shake my head
Very good Africans music 🎶 🎵 👌
Bernard Chomba RIP my friend. X

Bella musica.
A friend started playing this tonight, loved it, seems kinda jazzy, not sure what it is, lol. I really like it!
It's Afrobeat! and I'm pretty sure the term was actually first coined by Fela Kuti himself
It is Afro Beat, Lyrics are song in what we call Nigerian Pidgin English
Love this album, honestly If it wasn't for GTA 4 having truth Don die and zombie, I don't think I would have ever heard of him
Let Nas Down By J. Cole
That keyboard growl at 12:41.....
Un génie.

Lord Eric sugumugu brought fela to London

22:53 MY FUCKING FAVORITE IGBEEEEEEE
You go your way / the Jah-Jah Way! ! ! ! I didn't know Fela was Rastafarian ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! :)))))
😁😁😁😁 "The ję ję way", mean going your way minding your own business. Yoruba word.
🖤🖤🖤
I grew up with Fela's"Gentleman" . I just listened to it on this Android phone, something is missing! Where is that "thumbing Base" in Gentleman that shakes up the whole room to the extent that one starts dancing immediately without knowing it??!
How do you expect to 'find' the bass on a Android phone!
Use a headphone next time
Serenay Sarıkaya dan gelenler 🖐️

Because of my affiliation with Fela's music in my school days, I was calling "Black President"
