Fela Kuti, born as Olufela Ransome Kuti was a Nigerian music maestro and the pioneer of Afrobeat. "Faces of Africa" brings you the story of one of Africa's music legends and his influence through music.
Mohammed Ali talked some shit about African and why the honorable Mohammed made them wear suits. I was sad and embarrassed when I heard the tape. Then I lost the 100% respect.

The fact that I, an Irishman 🇮🇪 living in Mexico 🇲🇽 , has loved the music of Fela since I first came across Afrobeat in the late 1990s (while I was living in Italy 🇮🇹 !) speaks to me about universality of music. Fela Kuti should be as well known and appreciated as Bob Marley or James Brown. Shakara oloje! Lots of love and respect to the people of Nigeria. ✊🏼 🇳🇬

While Fela Kuti is often credited as the pioneer of Afrobeat, it is true that Geraldo Pino, a Sierra Leonean-Nigerian musician, also played a significant role in the development of the genre. In fact, Pino is often referred to as the "Godfather of Afro-Pop" due to his influence on the sound. Pino's music was characterized by a fusion of traditional African rhythms with Western pop and funk music, which laid the foundation for what we now know as Afrobeat. He rose to prominence in the 1960s and 1970s, and his music was particularly popular in West Africa. While Fela Kuti is often credited as the most prominent figure in the development of Afrobeat, it is important to recognize the contributions of other artists, including Geraldo Pino. The genre has been shaped by a range of musicians and influences, and its history is complex and multifaceted.

Fela, was a man of conviction, visioner and philosopher. His conviction virtue can be seen, when he opted to study Music instead of Medicine that is parents wanted.

I am a lover of good music and this man " Fela kuti is the Maximum Master" a phenomenon in that subject. The most important thing are the messages that he left us opening our brains hypnotized by the system and personally I think the same as him, that's why you can count on me to free us from the slavery to which we are subdued. 8 years ago I wrote a book called "Slave monkeys poorly educated by Israel" which talks about us as a society.

Desmond Ampofo I was once told Fela had an unbelievable love for Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. I didn't know why until today. Africa first mindset Nkrumah had can't be replicated.

With everything that was said here. What I understand is that Africa must be Africa. Africanisim, cultures, tolerating other peoples views with respect and dignity. There are diversity everywhere and people must respect boundaries.

@@naletsanaele sowore has an history of activism from his university days. he runs an independent news agency that also exposes the corruption in the Nigerian elite. he ran for the last presidential election but lost. currently he's in jail held without any justification by the Nigerian DSS under the order of buhari, the same military president that jailed fela... the same demonic leader is ruling again as a democratic president. I don't know why nigerians voted him. suffering and smiling under fulani tyrany rule.
