I'm a South African boy from the Zulu clan who just found out about the Legendary Fela Kuti and I have to say, he probably has to be the best musician ever. He managed to touch hearts with his sound under horrifying times. He still touches my heart and I'm only 22 years of age. His music is something I will be proud to passing on to my children. May his soul rest in power

In 1972 us kids in New Zealand were listening to UK-based Osibisa - but when I hear FELA I suddenly understood where the Osibisa sound came from. Terrific music. Fela Kuti is the pioneer. Victor, I hope your future opens up bright for you.

It is so sad that Africans and Nigerians especially do not recognise their Legends and Heros. But we are proud to erect statues of Foreigners and name our important streets after them. While Fela is still not even given the status that befits him. Fela is still the best ambassador to have come out of Nigeria. The Nigerian youths have not forgotten and will never forget you Baba Fela Anikulapo ransomkuti because you still are a great source of inspiration and an Idol. You were there for the oppressed and down troden, that is still going on today in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. One day, we will name our best after you. Continue to rest in peace.

A fervent lesson in musical reproduction . Do not go to the studio or laboratory and jumble up some fabrication or concoction in a hurry . It would not last the test of time . Of course you have to have talent . Which is the first and paramount requisite for excellence in all branches of the arts . Since its release in 1973, when l was about 14 years old, l have been thrilled by this exilarating album, sides A and B . Now at 61 years of age, the effect still outstandingly revererberates all over my body and soul with a chilling shiver and great sensation. The sound and instrumental arrangement high in measure, sonorous rendition on the alto 🎷 solo by FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI himself, juicy rhythm guitar, and of course, deep bass, rounded up by tight percussion mix of african and standard 🥁 drum sets . Just irresistible to your feet . LADY .

The alto sax solo was by a great saxophonist named IGO CHICO, Conrad Sunkiojack, man. Fela couldn't do that. His feelings on sax were like his aggressive opposition to oppression, very harsh, ear-grating stuff. Chico - Lord bless his departed soul - was the master of subtle melody on sax. Respect to Chico!

I remember when my dad first brought this album home. I had it on repeat when he was out and I was supposed to be doing homework. He had it on repeat when he was home. He's long passed and I have it in my possession. It's still on repeat. From the mother and father of Afrobeat... Fela Kuti. Thank you 2 both of my warrior fathers for this timeless gift.✊🏾✊🏾

But as I got listening I began to get more and more out of what he's still saying today through his musical works and activism and through that of Mr. Fela, Jr's. musical works and activism. I wish all here and in Fela Kuti Music World well. ✌💖

He is celebrated by many as the greatest of his genre of musical style.....I first heard him on Afropop radio, and once was all it took, to get me into his music in a big way... (I am a "white" guy BTW) Bob Marley was the superstar of Reggae largely because of the British promotional push to get his music to the people in a commercially money making way........and Bob Marley was like the spokesman for the Rastafari religion, which is also a BIG reason why he was the big star he was ....and of course, the smoking of Herb is so very popular among all the youth , who , mostly are the ones that flock to concerts and buy records......so Fella never talks about smoking Herb in his songs, whereas Bob and Peter Tosh did.....A LOT......which pushed up his popularity too.....Plus, Bob Marley happened to be a genius song writer, able to fit together melody and lyrics so perfect that only "God" could try and do better.....I think people just need to want to expand their minds in order to get into some kinds of music that they never heard before...If they only listen to one type of music.......then they are missing out on a lot........Commercially speaking, Fella's music is not something you just hear on the radio at all.....Radio only wants the 2 or 3 minute songs that are popular "hits" ....and never allowed to venture beyond that..ONLY alternative radio stations like the one I heard Fella on, dare to expand the bounds of the norm.....If people are not interested in alternatives, they will never hear anything different...SAD BUT TRUE.....So Bob will always be more popular than Fella.....among the general population......

from Wiki: (summary, yes they were black, but often sent to fight Native Peoples) Buffalo Soldiers originally were members of the 10th Cavalry Regiment of the United States Army, formed on September 21, 1866, at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This nickname was given to the Black Cavalry by Native American tribes who fought in the Indian Wars. The term eventually became synonymous with all of the African American regiments formed in 1866: Although several African American regiments were raised during the Civil War as part of the Union Army (including the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and the many United States Colored Troops Regiments), the "Buffalo Soldiers" were established by Congress as the first peacetime all-black regiments in the regular U.S. Army.[1] ... In the last decade, the employment of the Buffalo Soldiers by the United States Army in the Indian Wars has led some to call for the critical reappraisal of the African American regiments. In this viewpoint[46] the Buffalo Soldiers were used as mere shock troops or accessories to the forcefully expansionist goals of the U.S. government at the expense of the Native Americans and other minorities.[46][47]

Both Fela and Hugh travelled to Ghana around 1967 and joined a band called Hedzolleh. That is where they both learnt the style that is called Afrobeat today. Afrobeat originated from Ghana, from the Highlife genre.
