Omoluabi16: He most certainly was, I was taught here in the U.S that James Brown had a huge influence on Fela Kuti but Bootsy Collins, the bassists says it was Fela Kuti that influenced the James Brown band. Fela was traditional African music and he used talking horns and mixed it with African American Jazz but Fela was way ahead of the sophistication of Jazz. Fela was an traditional African musician, liberator, thinker, intellectual, and very creative. When James Brown toured Nigeria in 1970, bassist William 'Bootsy' Collins recalls, '[Fela] had a club in Lagos, and we came to the club and they were treating us like kings. We were telling them they're the funkiest cats we ever heard in our life. I mean, this is the James Brown band, but we were totally wiped out! That was one trip I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.'" For the full text of the interview, click here. "The Big Fela" ** In another interview, Bootsy also stated, "I thought THEY were the greatest, period. Even before I got into James Brown's band, the James Brown band was number one to me. But once I got there and saw Fela and them, then I had second thoughts about it....when I heard these cats, it was like another dimension... a deeper feel to me...it was like, 'Man, this is IT. We gotta try to be like this!' [laughs]..." (Excerpted from Jaybabcock.com[b][/b] 1 Like 1 Share |

NovusHomo:Tell me what other means he would have used during the reign of a staunch military dictator? And secondly answer me if his music didn't send the right message and made an impact. And thirdly can u kindly in your vast knowledge of the things he should have done, mainly seeing from the angle you're coming from (he should have led a protest with arm bearing youths and go to the government house to shoot and chase the president out) shey?.... Lol too much American movies. Kindly give constructive answers to the questions above please. 1 Like |

Ranchhoddas: There so much to tell but don't have the energy you live within the same vicinity of someone like fela you know there is bound to be issues From Atinuke olabanji street ikeja to Gbemsola street close to Airport hotel down to Ipodo to his former shrine now computer village Fela was not a good influence in the area. His name was synonymous to irresponsibility When parents say to their child this omo fela it connotes gangsterism, Indian hemp smoker, thief and a prostitute. The electrician he killed went to work in his house one thing led to another he asked his boys to gag him he used electric cable flogged the boy in the process he died. This was big issue back them but some how his brother was minister of health, olikoye ransome kuti under the military back then used his influence to get him off the hook Fela was formerly Fela ransome kuti, he changed it to anikulapo kuti He had a famous bouncer Anigboro I stop here no more 1 Like |

free2ryhme:Thanks for the enlightenment EGBON, however what later happened to his twenty seven wives and which part of the village was his base? I like historical facts, so please pardon me. The said electrician while I was a small boy, I was told he pilfered and fela abhors stealing of any form. Thanks 1 Like |
