I saw Fela perform many times, and I always felt I was watching a musical genius. This group has done a really good job
I saw him 1990 Philadelphia. Unforgettable…. had to be at least 10 ppl onstage if not more
I think I know your background
@@JJJJJVVVVVLLLLL You're both so blessed
(I'm kinda jealous of our president, too... short after he was elected, he was honored with an invitation to see Femi perform at the Shrine...)
i would love to see them once
Singer's attitude, charisma, dance moves... pure perfection *-*
Parece 90% cubana. En Cuba nadir la miraría más de 10000 veces.... : )
Brilliant ... Never seen any cover (by a non African) like this - the energy, passion and emotions poured into every bit of the production was tailored. Goosebumps all over me ... Massive well done guys - more than impressed!!!
Look for Abayomy Afrobeat Orchestra my brother, its a band from Rio de Janeiro that started as a Fela Day tribute from musicians!
They still host annually a Fela Day meeting around the city, but the band developed many original songs that are just incredible like Fela's.
Kalakuta lives!!!
Yuri VS can never be like fela’s don’t even bring shit all as those u talking about are all inspired by the great 👍 man himself...
Yep...totally agree..brilliant! Francisca Riquelme is mesmerizing...Love da juju 'mon! Never saw Fela "Live" but I got to see Sunny Ade a few times...these Chilean musicians are TIGHT
Don't let their looks fool you, they may look non African, but this group is from Chile, South America. Chile and most of South America is known for having West African slaves (their descendants still live there today) and some of them in this band (not all) might have some African ancestry in them, especially the female lead singer (I know a mixed person when I see one), this is probably why they feel comfortable doing Afro-beat music in which Fela Kuti influence them while taking on African cultures, because they know their history, but music is music no matter what race is doing it.
latin americans have the passion
OMG, this was so spirit lifting and enjoyable. You will never think this was performed by Non-Africans. Long live Fela. Let music keep uniting us all. We are just one people.
Chisom Enyioko we are all African!!
For me as a black person, when i see white people or non african people enjoying our songs, feels up with happiness.
David Simpson I'm from Colombia and two years ago felt in love of AfroBeat forever
resurface our African descent :)
+David Simpson thanks man, and thanks for your people and music too
Hello! I am from Argentine. I dont not speak english languaje but i want see for you this words. I love the all song, the union beetwenn all the people too, your black music is beatifull and join all spirit on the world. I love my around country named Uruguay with more people black and descendent of the black generation, Uruguay is the master for me, they is learning this wonder music and your letter are very important for union of the peoples in the latinamerican nations.
afro music and afrodance are the bestest :D
I wish Fela was around to see what his music is doing in the world. Bravo guys, this is amazing!
Fela is around brother. He lives on through his music. I agree that this is amazing. I was blessed enough to see this band three times in ten days when they toured thru No. California in August 2016. They are brilliant players, showmen and very kind and friendly people!
This is the power of music...
Anengiyefa+Fela was involved with magic when he was alive. I feel his mighty presence on the other side. Sure Seun and others do too
superbe.
Honestly my bro...how i wish he was still living to see d impact of his music in d world over...a legend indeed...tears well up my face.
Nigeria 🇳🇬 is beyond blessed seeing what our music 🎵 is capable of worldwide...
Comot for ya. Most you say that
Are you gay?
🤣 which one na you own?
Fela and his legacy should be classified as World Heritage of Humanity ❤❤❤
From Paris with love
So many positive comments beyond racism (very unusual in these times) make me as happy as this music. Love the dancing too. Fela's spirit conquering the world and uniting people.
Newen significa energía en el idioma Mapuche de los pueblos originarios del sur de Nuestraamerica. El Afrobeat viene del corazón del África. Es un concentrado de raiz cultural. Grandes Afrobeat Latinoamérica en la casa!. Desde Venezuela un abrazo!
Gracias por la explicación hermano🙌
Viva Abya Ayla!
¡Viva Latinoamérica!✊🏻
Oh my God,which language is that?
BUENA EXPLICACIÓN MI PANA
As an African and fan of fela, I'm truly impressed with this band's channeling of Fela!
something really cool & hip is happening in Chile where these young musicians have been bringing real musicianship back by discovering afrobeat roots rebellion music & incorporating it w/indigenous culture & regional concerns---quite inspiring & energetic w/the tony allen style drumming--african & latin percussion---great horn section w/killer solos---nice harmonies---& Fran Ri's awesome voice & stage presence--the best front woman currently on the scene
YES!
Pow he said it all 100% and yes miss Fran is the best out there today im sure hands down
Oh xes, I see them in Germany this summer… great show!!❤
Newen is a dynamic band that brings fire to AfroBeat...big up to the lead vocals she killed it💕she is full of fire🤗🎉💐
J’adore 👍
I am impressed. They gave it their own interpretation without deviating so much from the original. Just the thought of doing Fela in itself is a herculean task to undertake, and in my opinion they did justice to the song.
Pink floid
Respect when I see other cultures enjoying fela's afrobeat,one love👍🏿
Before hearing this beautiful tune, I was perplexed and overwhelmed by the harshness of life. Listening to it reenergizes me and restores my hope. I must say that African music is both spiritual and natural.
My drug: this version of Upside Down - and the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen or heard- I LOVE YOU!!!!!
Brava, from California! Discovering Fela Kuti is best things that ever happened to me. I love hearing his music blend with the musical flavors of different regions of the world. Newen Afrobeat is one of the very best!
This is lovely. The energy is very infectious. Kudos to all the band members especially the lead singer and the guy on the keyboard. They were all taken over by the spirit of African beat described by Fela as " The Underground Spiritual Game"
South America singing and dancing on African beat, it's just marvelous , love the this cover of Afrobeat !
Good job. I was lucky to see Fela Kuti's live performances. His band was big like an orchestra. It takes this many people to cover his song.
Es increíble el nivel de músicos que tenemos en chile, absolutamente de exportación y que parece que para los medios de comunicación de mi país no existiera...y que vergüenza.. pero así es el chile de hoy.
This is incredible. The energy is just out the roof. Fela would of been proud!
"MY name is Fela Anikulapo Kuti I have death In my pouch, you see they can't kill me, I can't die" Fela you are still very much alive in my soul and the world
Aceschap we don’t understand what he was trying to say then, was disappointed when they later killed him but now I know what he meant ...... Fela lives on
fela music is like Egyptology, this generation is now discovering his music from 50 years ago, 🙈🙉🙊🗣
Long live Abami Eda!One of African finest.Baba rest in peace.
OMG!!!! They killed that. She put me in a trance with her singing and beautiful dancing too!
They really got the picture right ...another new dimension of the afrobeat music.....Big up from Senegal!!!!
I am soooo here for the beautiful music and comments!!! Long Live Baba Fela through his music... a beautiful gift shared among many! I am so proud to be an Original Woman!! AfroBeat Yes!
Na true o. Baba will forever be around because of his music.
LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS !!! NIGERIA HAS THE MOST PERFECT MUSIC IN THE WORLD ! :) I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE SINGER - Great presence ! ! ! ! !
Escuchando esta música y viendo bailar a esa mujer es como si estuviera en el cielo.
Wow! loving the energy. Shout out to his mentor, Sandra Izsadore...the vocalist on the original "upside down", and the so called "mother of Afrobeat".
Good stuff, great stuff.... One love from Lagos Nigeria, Fela's stumping ground!
You guys create such a groove, and you're all into it, and I'm drawn right in
Nothing and I mean NOTHING brings people together as music. Regardless of whatever definition that may seemingly separate us.
So very true.
I had a history teacher who said that Elvis Presley did more to end bigotry and any politician. Elvis loved black people and nearly always showcased them in his shows. That was guys and gals.
I think Food does the same thing as music. MITB (Zappa) FITB (Me)
@@TiempoNuevo-ew7ty Yes but Blacks musically were years before Elvis. Look at Glenn Miller. Also sports (Robinson) help to integrate us. But the largest integrator was the military.
@gritt orisen Yep, some get to go back to privilege, and some go back to 2nd class when the lights go down.
Got that James Brown groove to it. All love from Augusta, GA!
Pure joy. Not for listening with the ears but for feeling it with the soul
Zombie de Fela Katie es irrepetible. Me acuerdo cuando estaba joven y bailaba como loco esta música. Yo la gocé y bastante. Gracias oh Eterno, gracias a ti oh el Innombrable por permitirme oír esta música con los oídos del corazón.
También tienen una versión de "Zombie" impresionante. He tenido la suerte de escucharla en vivo
That song got him into a lot of trouble.
Race never crossed my mind. Good is good, and they are great.
U say race i say universal music music is universal so.....!!!!? Enjoy peace and love for Madagascar
Race should cross your mind. Give credit where it is due. This is original Black music of universal class. Race shouldn't cross your mind only when issues like crime are raised.
Big lie.
Music is music, black as I am. I love what I heard, music transcends race, it is a medium for peace.
Well said
i'm still waiting on this other race humans keep mentioning ...i thought we had all the base covered ...
Latinoamérica and Africa have a lot in common. Lots of africans came to Latinoamérica as slaves during the European colonization. Both, native americans and africans got punished and slaved by them. Then we started fucking each other and created new races. Interesting huh?!
@@quasi-human3456 here you go, there's plenty of them, racism depends on this definition otherwise it wouldn't be possible (and hopefully it will cease to exist in future!): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_(human_categorization)
Greetings@@peternewman9214 ..My question was more on he rhetorical side )...Nonetheless the point is. All humans regardless of appearance are from the same race ...the basis you experience has more to do with the social upbringing..
Damn, definitely the best Fela cover assembly I've seen - wasn't expecting that. Normally people try but miss the beats, or try to 'innovate' in a way that shows they don't understand the source material.
Seems like you all legit get it - props.
Results of hard endless rehearsal. You can see the outcome of that effort. Bless them.
Con música como esta no hace falta ninguna medicina, es un orgasmo acústico, bravo.
Thank you for embracing our Fela, President Black People Nation. This is a wonderful rendition.
WOW Absalutely fantastic and mindblowing performances of Fela's music well done Newen Afrobeat... Big up to the 'Modern African Art Movement! (MAAM).
No entiendo por qué no los había escuchado hasta ahora, excelentes músicos, precisión,energía, puro ritmo.La cagó. Merecen ser más conocidos!!!
For me as a purple person I'm jusst loving this music. Don't stop playing.Don't stop. Keep playing. Playing.
Just couldn't hold my tears. Flashing my Mind back to all the messages the late Legend Fela kuti sent so far...and here is a beautiful lady sending more messages to the world. I love you so much beautiful lady...you really take my mind off my worries for the moment. If not Afrobeat then nothing...
8:01 - Ufffff...... La Voz! La Luz... La Arte... La poesía y Musica de Fela... y estas espaldas LINDAS! mejor vídeo que miré hoy
concuerdo, esa espalda es una obra de arte!
bloody hell!!!! Profoundly remarkable stuff!!! on a scale of one to ten, i will give it a 100!
adebayo adeniran
So it's lol off the scale😂😁💯
Hahaha...fancy seeing your comment on here...fela's last son!!!

They called him names. but his music is enduring.. Baba Fela. the only one. Kuti the prophet.. Big up to all those who are reproducing these great and unique master pieces.

Lucky are those who are there to record it, and we who can return to appreciate the moment! gracie, and happy 2024 all :-) buona fortuna! UPDATE: why can't one keep Clicking LIKE ? :-)))
Fela is truly alive here. Kudos to this wonderful team.
Saw them live at Hannover's Masala Festival tonight. Absolutely brilliant!

After all, where you're from does not matter!
Your skin color doesn't matter either!
All that matters is that much you have contributed to humanity.
Fela lives on!
One love from Nigeria!
Beautiful thing it is, to watch the power of good music bringing so many different people together races, ages just everything.
Damn!!! Beautiful is this!! #felakuti lives on :-) Power to Chile!!! Power to Nigeria
Love you all. Welldone!!!
It's hard to imagine music of the western hemisphere without Africa.
It's hard to imagine the music influences worldwide without all the instruments of the "western hemisphere". You obviously haven't got a clue about some of the music that was around in the 1930's 1940's unfortunately.
@@Equalizer5: What should have been "obvious" to anyone -except you?- is that my short simple statement was only acknowledging one of the contributors to what I referred to as "music of the western hemisphere". Smart people know what they don't know but you "obviously" know all about p craig! lol
@@pcraig1383 Yes, obviously, and use of English language and inferences as well.
Equalizer music of the 1930s and 1940s? You’re trying to say swing had no African influence? Jazz uses western instruments sure but without black people it just straight up would not exist at all.
Edit: for clarification, I’m just assuming you’re talking about swing, because the 30s and 40s was the swing era. It was popular the the time, and it was invented by and popularized by black people
Omg im a white girl n u people are amazing.I love ur music n it has helped lift me up so much.
Many Blessings to you all and Thank you
Believe in your dream, be yourself, stand for justice and truth, the world will rise with you for eternity. Fela lives on. God bless this band and humanity. One love. THIS IS MUSIC AT ITS BEST!!!
Replayed multiple times! Can't resist the groove.
yes, i accidentally got addicted by giving it one listen, now there is no turning back.
@@robertaccornero7172 What country you in?
Maravilloso, emocionante, llena el alma y el corazón se agita, es en ese momento exacto cuánto te das cuenta que algo en ti traspaso tus tejidos y te enamoras, gracias de todo corazón, saludos desde Concepción.
WOW!!!!! TI AMO, Newen Afrobeat ! ! ! YOU GUYS ARE PHENOMENAL ! ! ! ! LOVIN IT ! ! ! JAH BLESS! ! ! FELA KUTI WOULD BE PLEASED - I see him smiling down from heaven. :)
Poco conocidos para ser una gran agrupación musical !...mucho regetón y poca cultura !
Felicitaciones son magníficos !
THIS PEOPLE, IS MUSIC: RAW, MAGICAL!!! Kuti, incredible, true intellectual and musical royalty.
locura total!!!...me encanta esa mina...personalidad pura!!!...buenisimo!!!
Cómo se llama ella?
@@anahijeje Fran Ri instagram.com/fran_ri/
Excelentes músicos, excelentes cantantes y el inconfundible Ritmo Africano, brillante ejecución, la mención especial para la vocalista y bailarina,(ES INCREIBLE) Felicidades a tod@s.
The spirit of the Legendary Fela Kuti hovering over modern music...Long live the KING OF AFRO JAZZ/ AFROBEAT! Thank for exporting Nigeria to the world.
Love this group so much. The rhythmic excitement in their performances is jaw breaking. Love u guys... Love u for reping and keeping the Fella legacies alive... Madly in love with the lead singer. Will marry her is I see her right now... 😘 ❤️
music knows no race and color it is a universal language. if the leaders of the world fail to unite people. I shall not lose hope because music will bring all human family together.
This horn section is DEADLY, I need to see Newen Afrobeat, so badass!
Like father like son. Fela Anikulapo Kuti was just like this boy. I have to sincerely admire these artists, who can play afrobeat just like Africans. It's amazing
I found this group by accident on youtube. and im so happy for my mistake I love there music. I cant wait to see them live . i will alway support them
this music never makes meaning to me all this while except enjoying it grooves(17yrs past) finally I feel like crying. this song has a deep meaning in it lyrics, american man, China man, Russia man all have their names and culture to support their growth. but African man we still lives in psychological slavery that's why everything is upsidedown.
this remix make me understand what fela wants from us africans in general. the whites men who most of their system is near to perfect also is reminded to not let lose of the good things they have achieved. fela u live on in our heart.
awo taiwo This a sell out! !we should've kept it home base
And to think this groove was composed about 1972/76
YES!
This band truly gave justice to the original. The music, the groove. the energy is just right. Carry on!
I listen to this every day with my morning coffee. I know I should be meditating on something or the other but there is something about this rhythm that wakes me better than the strongest espresso.
one love black,white,pink,purple,red,indian man chinese man lets come together so beautiful colourful world thanks to God almighty jah bless
Yes Chris yes
Que genia y hermosa es Fran Ri (Francisca Riquelme) !!! Gran Artista !!! Cuando necesito levantar el ánimo Newen Afrobeat es mi medicina !!
This is just a HUGE "Wow!" moment in music!!! If you don't start moving to this, you might be dead!
I no fit shout ooh
See level, organisation, fluency, coordination, ensemble.
Fela lives on.
Love you guys.
Una too much.
The afrobeat seeds are all over the world. Love from Portugal.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS CRAZY!!!! Too authentic, it's scary.... Wow
BRAVOOOOOO DIOS MIO QUE RYTMOOO QUÉ ENERGIA FULL Y QUÉ CANTANTE ERES FUEGO Y AGUA Y MAS AUN BENDICIONES A TODOS GRACIAS FELA AQUI ESTA 🙏🙏
just stumbled on this rendition of fela's 'upside down' and i am having goose bumps. long live Fela long live Nigeria.
Amazing band and amazing song!!! Afrobeat is liveeee!!
Amazing! I didn't want it stop! The woman singing is mesmerizing. 😎
Need a lot energy too.
I first heard Fela Kuti's music on a holiday in Greece in 1985. I was immediately excited. It's nice that this band saves his music from oblivion.
Fantastic summer tunes, still, 2022 and we need so much more of this! Our universe is music, our Earth, our lives, it is the driving force of life right from the first pulsation from the first plant.
So glad I found this, thanks once again You Tube algorithms for changing my direstions and helping me find so much fine music!
Hope these folks are still rockin' on, such uplifting tune! Thank you OP!
From the costume, face painting, the Ginger Baker percussionist, the clarinet player and the very sexy lead vocalist who knows how to dance. You guys are beyond impressive. I hope you would be invited to perform live at the presidential inauguration ceremony at Abuja.
And this woman spoke the nigerian broken english properly 👍👍👍
David Simpson Not quite, she spoke like Sandra in the original. Interestingly though, the response from the rest of the band, sounded more natural. I guess they just imitated the original without realizing that Sandra's pidgin was unnatural.
timio
Love.
+David Simpson That sounds like latin-american pronunsiation for me.
+bostikforever i believe this band is called antibalas, they are from new york, and they pretty much worshiped fela while he was alive and they are the only band that can recreate a Fela number like the oga himself
+v Jay This is not AntiBalas.
I believe they are called (as seen on the title of this channel) 'Newen Afrobeat'
Beautiful! I can't believe it!!! They're all great, musicians, singer, thanks from Algeria.
Cant get enough of this ,still watching after years of listening...Thank you ❤ Manchester England...
There is only one race in the world, human race.
These guys have just reconfirmed it.
And music is its language.
I'm still dancing brother. I love how the artist are really enjoying the groove.
Then go tell it to the ones who created racism,🤔
😑
There is only TWO raceS in the world. The musician race, and the listener race.
Music is wonderful. I feel the vibe From Cameroon
Fela The Greatest!!!!!!!
These guys are really good, they play it perfectly and they even appreciate Afrobeat and Fela more than us. That guy on the keyboard/piano is a genius.
It's not very often that I like a cover better than the original....but I do with this one!!
Long life to King Fela!!! Muy BUENA versión, qué ritmo, joder!!!!
Fela Kuti es Dios...Newen Afrobeat son sus hijos chilenos ...Brillante versión
Music breaks down barriers that divide humanity. More of this!! Let’s enjoy and embrace each other’s culture and music.
Grandes , se siente el mensaje de vuestra musica, FELA debe estar orgulloso de uds ,hay espiritu en su trabajo, las mejores vibraciones para uds!!!
Gracias
