The sole creator of Afrobeat, Fela Anikulakpo Kuti died on the 2nd day of August, 1997. The Panafrican Legend stood for a lot of values that would keep his personality, sound, perspective and prophesies relevant throughout history and posterity. With smash hits like "Suffering and smiling", "Water no get enemy" Fela put this country on the map with tours in Catalonia to London and most of Africa. The musical icon laid down the path to what we Afrobeat stars are now enjoying today. His legacy leaves on as a lot of artistes like Beyonce, Kanye, Nas, Burnaboy, Wizkid have all cited him as a major influence. Beyond the music was also very controversial for his take on The Women, Marriage, Politics, African Identity, Religion etc. Below is a video of him talking about African Identity

Children of this generation should not copy or learn anything from him. rather, they should channel all their strenght towards serving God through praise and worship. No man will ever make heaven without Jesus

Classic.

The medley from the horns, and that awesome solo performance from the late Baba YS (Yinusa Akinnibosun) makes it a timeless classic.

One thing Fela n Burna share is that they both Cocky and a little Arrogant
