Fela Kuti - Yellow Fever

[@chronicledchronicles2104]

Elder Fela set the bar so high and there is no need to try to surpass it.... Baba Anikulapo Kuti Abami Eda is the king.... Case closed....

[@insight360_]

No one dares to surpass it, the standard was highly defined.

[@williambrown8654]

I'm a American black, I see why we weren't privilege to hear this Man!!!his MUSIC WOULD HAVE CAUSED PROBLEMS FOR AMERICAN RACIST, GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER

[@williambrown8654]

Whytes are genuis at deprivation for black folks

[@MRSZ5440]

What are you talking about he came to America back in the late 1969 talked to James Brown and a lot of other black musicians and got books, the message to the black man by the N.O.I on the black panther party among other black authors books check his history we always gave Fela Kuti respect and some of our horn players even where on one of his albums if I'm not mistaken It could be argued that this was part of his inspiration to return to Nigeria and keep his music rooted in African rhythms and his lyrics focused on African social issues. Fela travelled to America in 1969 at the tail-end of the Civil Rights Movement.

[@hakeemfowomola7222]

The INSTRUMENTAL... Before the verses start... is a masterpiece!

[@marcelosandovallopez8780]

and in the verses too, totally masterpiece

[@Villlella]

Sim uma orquestra africana original!

[@bentoure8151]

Correct! An absolute master class on all fronts 😮

[@andyaragon8633]

another awesome masterpiece from fela's gory days! i love how the groove starts and then builds for a full 7 minutes before his vocal even starts. then, fela's incomparable voice and call and response backup vocals carry the song to full burn! no other african musician comes close to the power of fela's music and his influence remains strong now. really love this tune!

[@henochpanzou5407]

the President of black power man !! Greatness Fela Kuti

[@JustMarkavalli]

Never Thought Bleaching was such a big issue in his time , same thing still going on what a shame.............we should be proud of our melanin.

[@lefthandedspanner]

these creams are used all over Asia and the Middle East as well, and yet Europeans and Americans can't get enough fake tan - seems nobody is happy with their natural tone these days

[@MonMonAg-95]

Colorism was, is, and will always be a big issue!

[@pastorshadre50]

Fela was a legend period! He stands in a class of his own. A genius original, and very African.

[@loop-fm5dx]

Some African Women/Men don't understand the essence of their skin colour. Be proud of your culture and show it off to the world!!!

[@marsiana1097]

..."na lie you no fine"... 😂😂😂. So straight to the point !

Just like that Mr. President Rest In Power. Thanks that we had the opportunity to admire you. In Douala 1972 and Bonn Germany August 1988. I came back from Africa last week with malaria and by dancing on the rythm of the present tune I'm healed. The artist never dy.

[@andreasschneider6600]

A girl once told me to stop this masterpiece before it was over while being in a driving car in Croatia. Needless to say there is no more contact...

[@momarniang6670]

Compared to others , A black woman is still attractive at the age of 50 due the melanine. Proudly black

[@TheTranceCartel]

I love it when racism is upvoted because it's considered positive

[@TUNDEOJEJINMI]

Wonderful music by the King of Afrobeats. Nostalgic.

[@andreafrailis8324]

one of my favorite fela s song!! what a genius he was

[@akinsolaabayomi9007]

I like the part Fela said, "foolish, you go die, foolish". That is true, we all know the consequence of skin bleaching as it causes skin cancer, kidney problems, etc., yet some people still take to this unhealthy practice.

[@thatdudebonzo]

Funny how the other channel has almost 5 mil views and Felas only got a couple hundred. Proof that someone is always profiting off your hard work. Love to all my Nigerian brothers and queens. We love you guys.

Amazing I love that this is an anti-bleaching song! Especially for the time. I hate black women from all over bleaching themselves because the idea that light or yellow is prettier. Dead wrong! The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice.
