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

[@kiwiduncan]

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!

This song titled Lady brings back fond memories way back in1978 when i was in high school. This song was the opening song at our variety show and the girls and boys dressed in african atire streamed into the school hall dancing. I fell in love with this song and it would play in our household. We even nicknamed my young sister Lady as she danced to it very well. Love Fela.

I was in my senior year in 1978 and you're right Fela was very popular among teenagers then, and the track was released in 1973 when I was a freshman. It stayed at the top of the Afrobeat songs chart since its inception, and it still swinging today
