Fela's songs are always current and relevant.

Listened to Viva Nigeria during the June 12 crisis and it seemed it was composed for that moment in time.

Listened to Army Arrangement during the 2007 elections . . . Wow!

Listen to Movement Against Second Slavery today (with Boko Haram and religious bigotry around) . . . Stunning!

Story told by Hugh Masekela on the BBC

South African jazz musician Hugh Masekela had not seen his good friend Fela Anikulapo-Kuti for many years, so when he came to perform in Nigeria, he took the opportunity to visit his friend & the following conversation ensued.

Hugh: I heard you got married to 27 women, where are they? I want to see them.

Fela: (Hisses) I divorced them.

Hugh: You divorced them? Why?

Fela: My girlfriends were jealous

Usually, I don't like the way people throw insults on this forum but in your case, I will make an exception. You Sir, are truly a first class buffoon with the I.Q of a diseased rat and the mentality of an area tout. Your father should have used a condom.

My favorite Fela quote from his song Coffin for head of state "Obasanjo dey there, with big fat stomach, Yar'adua dey there, with neck like Ostrich".

Fela lives on in my mind, an artiste but a social crusader, a lover of justice!

My favorite lyric...Fela don talk since make we open our eyes but we no wake at all, RIP tha Holy Prophet FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI
My people self dey fear too much. We fear for the thing we no see, we fear for the air around us, we fear to fight for freedom, we fear to fight for liberty, we fear to fight for justice, we fear to fight for happiness, we always get reason to fear. We no want die, we no want wound, we no want quench, we no want go... I get one child, Mama dey for house, Papa dey for house, I want build house, I don build house, I no want quench, I want enjoy, I no want go. So policeman go slap your face, you no go talk. Army man go whip your yansh, you go dey look like donkey. Rhodesia dey do them own, our leaders dey yab for nothing. South Africa dey do them own... Them be Sorrow, Tears, and Blood, dem regulagar trade mark

That murderfucker u guys are responding to could be obj himself or his evil offspring,maybe his rapper grandson.

The only people that hate Fela in nigeria are the pronounced evil ones,i.e,the politicians ,rogue enterprenuers(dem mko,otedola type)and the very deluded.

Nice one

I know you are a leftist and into all that African consciousness, so I want to share something with you.

You know Berlin has a lot of left-leaning hippies, socialists, and anarchists.

There are a few underground clubs, chronic-smoking joints very close to the Berlin wall and in some other places, that sometimes play Fela all night.

Because they are illegal (and also because chronic smokers have a habit of forgetting where they partied the night before grin grin grin), they are not always fixed.

If you haven't been yet, you may want to. But don't go alone. grin But then again, they may not even exist anymore. Haven't been there in a couple of years.
