[@sureshvijay1994]

I wish more Indians discovered this song. As a southern Indian Tamil growing up in Mumbai, there was a very uncomfortable inferiority complex in my community revolving around our dark skinned appearance. Many years after Fela, BLM has risen, and Fairness Creams in India have been pulled back. Making the word Fair or Whitening illegal on skin lightening products doesn't mean original sickness is gone. My support for African culture as a Tamil has only invited racial slurs. One day, I hope we too recover from Yellow Fever. One Love

[@quinnb3109]

Yes!! And it should not be this way! Colourist affects both the Asian and African communities. So wrong! From a fellow African 🙂

[@AnaamSings]

Brother - I LOVED your post! Our inferiority complex about dark skin is a direct result of the white occupation indoctrination in the name of 'education' which continues to this day via 'catholic/private schools' in Bhaarat. The average educated indian in many cases is whiter than white - I used to be one of them....proud to be as Neo Roman white as possible and ashamed of my own heritage!

When he changed his surname from Ransome-Kuti to Anikulapo-Kuti ("Anikulapo" in yoruba means "One who has death in his pouch"), he meant his music will never die. Now we know. Watching him live put you into a spell-like trance. God bless you, abami eda!

I knew Fela for having lived in Lagos from 1972 to 1974. I went to see him live before he moved to Suru Lere. I used to go to his compound when he had a donkey he named Yakubu Gowon! I was a regular at the Shrine. Fela was a monster of contradiction. I can't deny his musical genius!!!

I bought this LP while assigned to Lagos from 1975 to 1978. Some of the best music ever, hypnotic, just close your eyes, absorb and let yourself move. Never did go to the night club on Ikorodu Rd, but heard a lot about it. He got the powers that be so angry that soldiers threw his mother out of a second story window. Fela Ransome Kuti was not just a really good, prolific musician, he was also an incredibly sharp social critic. He skewered all the crazy malfunctions of Nigerian government and society better than anyone. Yellow fever was the craze to bleach one's skin to look lighter and thus higher class. Think he skewered that affectation pretty well. FRK was very proud to be African.

Why did the 70s have sounds like this. Nothing like it was created before or after except for sampling by hip hop groups mostly in early 90s. This proves that it was worldwide and the best part is it was all done with live instruments with very limited electronic input. I wasn't born until the 80s so I didn't live it. But why was the 70s in music such a magical time, can somebody explain? And please leave money out of it, always the lamest justification for things although I know money is important of course. But there was something else.... felt in the soul of so many musicians. From country to funk to disco to classic rock to r & b to reggae to soul to even classical, opera, jazz and early hip hop. What was it? Why did it go away?

The 60s and 70s were magical in every sense of life and not just in music because there was human purity! After those times we became the artificial people we are now, you are the reason that we can no longer do something the same or better...!

[@Mythical444]

It was before corporate greed took over and musicians had a lot more creative freedom to produce the music they wanted. Commercialization of music didn’t really come into play until the late 70’s where disco was popular, that’s when music started to sound the same and it just became about having fun and an over abundance of love songs. Motown was a love song factory as well in the 1960’s but Berry Gordy the CEO of Motown allowed musicans to speak about more conscious topics which he hesitated at first because he thought the songs wouldn’t sell well. He was reluctant to allow Marvin Gaye to produce the What’s Goin On album but he eventually gave him the green light to do it.

This song was about the skin-bleaching fad that Fela was opposed to. I feel this way about tattoos-can't wait till that trend passes.

[@snyderjohnson7841]

I am here in 2021 and it still sounds so fresh and yummy. RIP LEGEND of all times #Fela

[@bernardsaibu4137]

I am Ghanaian-American.Even Fela dint win a grammy with such authenticity,instrument understanding,cultural context,voice ttl[for those who get it], despite his global popularity-withoit aids----yet narcissistic kids think they are entitled to a popularity genre that can be bought.Well

[@adaora9417]

I used to hear this as a kid growing up. still amazing to hear !!!

[@tosinadeyemi7485]

+Adaora Nnakwe same here babes

[@chikezieonyema3735]

+Adaora Nnakwe Same for me. I grew up listening to all sorts of Fela music. Never knew these songs came decades before I was born

[@scriplinque]

Yellow Fever got that James Brown, JBs, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins feel, but there's that distinctive ethereal, warm Nigerian groove in every melody and set deep in the pocket . Rhythm section is tight like the head of a snare drum. Horns accent the beat and draw the ear into movement. You feel the beat in your feet n chest. This is definitely "On the One!"

[@GG-eq3lq]

Proud to be Nigerian! Fela's sound will never die 🇳🇬

[@roberttruitt6903]

Music of the righteous
