Fela Kuti - Roforofo fight

[@derekkamm1759]

I DJ'd a party in the street of Goiás Velho Brazil back in 2010, and closed the set with this one, one of the greatest moments I ever had playing out

[@olajideakande8019]

Fela is something else!. This particular track is simply amazing!. Forever lives afrobeat!.

[@mistergee6729]

This word: "excellence" was created for this GREAT ARTIST. the Guys like him make Africa grow up !!!

[@TobyGraham]

Tony Allen joins Fela in Heaven. God is now totally jamming to this tune. RIP guys, this is one of the most important tracks in my life

[@felakuti4335]

Just can't get enough of this incredible piece of Original Afro-beat. Fela you're the Best of the Best.

[@peteg3596]

Definitely the best afro beat, miles ahead

[@erictalkington5674]

@@peteg3596 I know, could you imagine how much of a tragedy it would've been if Fela had decided not to follow his dreams and passions and just got a regular job and never messed with music? Thankfully people like him and Miles Davis and Jerry Garcia and BB King and Curtis Mayfield and James Brown and so many others followed their passions and dreams.

[@domingoscarinci9415]

PURE AFRO-BEAT

[@sunlight2305]

I first heard this masterpiece in the Eighties. It was/is on a cassette tape compilation that a friend made for me. I clearly remember its impact. Something brought me to check it out on KZbin. HERE WE GO AGAIN!

[@babakayy]

Here from anonymous Twitter post and this song perfectly fits the situation 😂😂

Fela Kuti, a true definition of a mad genius.

[@patodonnell5359]

Jesus ! Never heard of this cat til yesterday. Blown away!

[@Ivanselectsongs]

obligatory: "when you think you've heard all of Fela's best songs..."

[@domingoscarinci9415]

FELA KUTI UN RITMO BIEN AFRICANO, IMPRESCINDIBLE PARA CUALQUIER DISCOTECA.

[@erictalkington5674]

Damn, this is one of my favorite Fela tracks EVER! I love about 2 min in to about 4 or 5 min in so much. The whole song is great but I love that intense jamming.

[@erictalkington5674]

I found the part I was thinking of, from 4:45-5:00 there is a peak in the music that I wish so much they would've done something live or just kept that peak going as long as possible. It's one of my favorite parts of any song ever.

[@jeshun7071]

Awesome Afro beat, Afro Funk, Afro Jazz all thrown into the melting pot for full effect, from Nigeria's finest, from the 1975 album Music Of Fela

[@TripVIST]

Damn!! This song is amazing!!!!

[@JediJide2]

This is some serious lesson of the real Afro Beat. Mind fucking blown. The Horns!!! The quality of the production. Wow!!!

[@sorieaiah2155]

This song reminds me of Bra combor's Matadi at lumley street in Freetiwn- Sierra Leone in the mid 70s.

[@WulfusBoof]

Incredible energy.

The man of music. Fela.

[@bashkanabe5173]

Who can boast of knowing 50% Fela songs?

[@olukayodenathan9132]

I know at least 95%

[@nicholasndege2892]

Hilarious like hell: If your friend and another person are standing in the mud exchanging insults, beg your friend to quit, otherwise soon they shall be rolling in the mud and you wouldn't tell 'who is who from who' ...they go look like twins.., if you try to help your friend Roforofo go rub on your nyash..

[@tommyhawke9677]

Maybe I missunderstand you… nothing hilarious only a gift of a track in it's rhythmic brilliance.

[@erictalkington5674]

While I don't disagree, check out Jimmy McGriff, Curtis Mayfield, BB King and James Brown especially James from about 1967-1976ish the JB's years. Their own solo stuff he did too just JB's is incredible too. You may, already know some of them, but if not check them out, they are amazing.
