Tohsynetita1:Don't get it wrong. Fela is a dramatist. He's theatrical. He captures the attention of his audience by fussing sultry lyrics as a method to drive key themes. |

[quote author=naptu2 post=97154944][/quote]For the first time in a very long while. I found someone on nairaland worthy of accolades . What you just wrote is a quora piece. they are not worthy to lie on the streets of nairaland but am glad you did because i would have never believed there is hope for Nigerian music enthusiasts. Accolades once again sir. |

Vieybazz:Lagbaja schooled with music? Fela had a degree in music from Trinity College, London. He was a master composer and arranger. |

I remember when this song was released. I immediately rushed to my keyboard. "I must play that refrain by all means possible". Many leaders as you see demFela Anikulapo-Kuti - Beast Of No Nation live at the Zenith in Paris in 1984. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0BhNPiq78k |

One of the things that fascinated me about Fela's music and which constantly makes me eager to play his songs is that I hear something new and interesting every time I hear it. There's always a new line to play, always a new play on words to discover. It's so fascinating. |

From the comments have seen thus far, I think Seun needs to put age restrictions on NL, Its obvious most of u don't evn knw lagbaja was among fela band n that aside how do u morons listen to music, yet most morons re saying rubbish...in case y'all don't knw fela created his own style of music Afrobeat n was accepted generally, over 20 foreign musicians have sample his beats....with regards to his lyrics mehn! I'm disappointed in these kids no wonder y'all idolised wizkid,davido, olamide etc....when u digest junk,u'd spit junk out also...u guys shld go back n listen to his lyrics wit open mind then y'all would realise he was a lyrical prophet |

By the way, Orlando Julius did not create Afrobeat. The co-creators of Afrobeat were Fela Anikulapo-Kuti and Tony Allen. Orlando Julius originally played traditional Yoruba styles, then he switched to highlife in the 1960s. That's where he first found fame. This song was one of his biggest hits. Orlando Julius - Jagua Nana (1965). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6D8uJqnexQ He then travelled to the US where he played funk music with people like Hugh Masekela and James Brown. That's what he was doing in the 1970s. Fela had already created and switched to Afrobeat by the mid-1970s. Orlando Julius only switched to Afrobeat when he came back to Nigeria c1979 and discovered that it was popular here. That's when he released songs like Dance Afrobeat. I remember when this song was released because I was pleased that someone else was also playing afrobeat. It was on heavy rotation on Lagos Television. Orlando Julius - Dance Afrobeat (1983). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bC6TRRMwgs You can hear the obvious Fela influence in the song. Orlando Julius also influenced Fela in the 1960s, but he didn't create afrobeat. |

Some people mentioned the beginning of Army Arrangement and said that Fela lacked focus because it was meant to be a political song but he was singing about X-rated things. Someone else said that he might have done that because of weed. This is another example of what I wrote earlier. These people do not understand the context of the song. Fela usually performed his songs at Shrine for many years before releasing them as albums. He immediately stopped playing a song at Shrine after releasing it. People that regularly attended Shrine knew all of Fela's songs, even the songs that were never released as albums or singles. Now the question is, what usually happened at Shrine? You'll easily understand the beginning of Army Arrangement if you know what usually happens at Shrine. I posted this on November 7th. naptu2: naptu2: naptu2:I posted these in 2017 naptu2: naptu2: naptu2: naptu2:I'm off to search for my other posts that contain Fela's Yabbis. |

NewDelhi:it's very obvious that don't understand anything about music for you to call Fela's beats rythmless......... If great music producers like swissbeatz, timberland, Pdiddy and even JayZ could sample his music..... Who r u to tag it rythmless....By the way, lagbaja u r talking about learned from him.... He played in his band |

There are 4 absolute super legends of African music that blazed the trail for Africans on the world stage. They are Fela Anikulapo-Kuti of Nigeria, Hugh Masekela of South Africa, Manu Dibango of Cameroon and Mariam Makeba of South Africa. This post is about two of them. naptu2:Masekela released this song after Fela's death. "There will never be another Fela". naptu2: |

NewDelhi:I've never seen a more stupid person in my life, you sound so childish and extremely foolish with your comprehension of Fela's music. I guess you're writing this silly post with your free 20mb daily from MTN. Why won't you spill sh!t from your mouth. Useless baboon. |
| Re: Who Produced Better Music Between Lagbaja And Fela by Nobody: 12:40pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
Don't ever compare the two abeg.You can actually like lagbaja without insulting Fela. Because your small lizard Brain cannot comprehend his kind of lyrics and what he sings doesn't make it useless. Don't worry boy, I was once like you but when you grow up a little.. You'd understand life better and learn to celebrate a genius and not a mediocre. Useless baboon |
| Re: Who Produced Better Music Between Lagbaja And Fela by Nobody: 12:42pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
NewDelhi:Fela's song is not for animals like you sir! |
| Re: Who Produced Better Music Between Lagbaja And Fela by Nobody: 12:47pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
Lagbaja is great Fela is greater.. Only someone with a great mind can comprehend and assimilate the kind of Fela's music. Not the poor minded troglodytes we have on this post commenting and spewing trash |

The OP must be a cow for thinking about this.. This is an insult to Fela's legacy.. I'm livid right now. Even the people that moved this disgusting post to the front page are all equally nuts |

In just a few days time it will be exactly 37 years since this happened. I woke up and there was another coup. We did what we always do on coup mornings, we scanned all the stations. NTA2 Channel 5 was off the air, but NTA Channel 10 was showing this. Fela Anikulapo-Kuti - Pansa Pansa (live in Berlin in 1978). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr8oRpA2SpE |

Now let's go waaaay back to the afro-jazz era. Back before the politics. These are the Lagos songs. Fela Ransome-Kuti and his Koola Lobitos - Oni Dodo (1968). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufwUcZ5ycXI |
| Re: Who Produced Better Music Between Lagbaja And Fela by naptu2: 2:37pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
This is a beautiful short song from the 1969 Los Angeles sessions. Viva Africa This is brother Fela Ransome Kuti https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omp36v4Fxbo |
| Re: Who Produced Better Music Between Lagbaja And Fela by naptu2: 2:50pm On Dec 18, 2020 |
This is one of my favourites (because of the lyrics and the rhythm). Fela Anikulapo-Kuti - Monday Morning in Lagos (1975). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Enb8Z4kgkVw |
