fela's lyrics are both comedic and educative

[@knightandlord]

You could listen to this with your eyes closed and not tell it was a cover. It's so well done. Im Nigerian and I love the love & recognition Fela gets for pioneering Afrobeat. It doesn't get better than this. Well done guys.

Thank you so much. It was a lot of work to rewrite his music and play it faithfully and in the same spirit!
