My Top 5 musicians of all time include Fela (of course) James Brown, Jimmy McGriff, Curtis Mayfield and BB King, with Hendrix as a very close 6th.

[@mishacknthane1060]

im from South Africa i have never seen such a musician, in a transgressive mood, leaving no holy cows he confronted dictators lampooned their followers assume a supreme role as the spokesperson of the downtrodden, when violence was intensified against him, he reciprocated no through violence but through songs like zombie, oh heaven knows can nature produce another fela even if it could be for the last time so that he could witness buhari in old age trying to lead a young dynamic nation

[@mishacknthane1060]

[@mosesngobeni9852]

[@Libratv]

What a way to start my morning. I say thank you from the city of Ibadan.

[@oluggbal3005]

Thank you Stephen...speechless .....im just blown away!!!

[@erictalkington5674]

Got to be one of, if not the baddest dude of all time! I can't believe that in all the years I've known of fela, I haven't once ran across a single person I've met who had ever even heard of Fela. Makes me feel like I'm part of a very exclusive club of cool people.

[@danieladetuyi3583]

The Greatest FELA!!!!❤️🌹😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

[@femiakinola9263]

You given me Chills with THE Enigma..Big Blind Country.. It's indeed a rarity..ANIKULAPO for EVER!!!

[@ej2333]

Wow! It would be great to go to Nigeria and find an original Fela record.

[@michaellerner3764]

Man, that's a real insight into Fela"s efforts frustrations and musical reach. Wonder, met Fela with Najite 1990s in Los Angeles and produced a one off show in San Diego

Great Work! Happy 80th Posthumous Bornday, to Fela Anikulapo-kuti,TODAY 15/10/2018. No wonder President E.Macron of France visited Femi kuti's [Fela FIRST Son] AFRO-BEAT Music Centre The New Afrika Shrine in July 2018. A Nostalgic return for the 41year old Macron,after his earlier visits to the Ancestral Base of AFRO-BEAT, when he had worked in the French Embassy in Nigeria in 2003 for a while...Fela's Catch phrase 'Yeeah! yeah! is a Good Note Today. ReeSpect!

[@NeptuneReturnz]

LLKJ' Africa.Unity.? Macron is a shit.

[@Africa1000]

@@NeptuneReturnz I agree. A typically deluded African brother who simply isn't on the same political wavelength as the great Fela himself who would have seen through Macron in an instant. “LLKJ Africa Unity“ fails to understand that Macron is the very antithesis of what Fela stood for. Big sigh... The struggle continues!

[@AAde-or3qz]

Got to respect the art of collecting. Fela becomes an addiction when his music bites you.

[@owiygul3]

Fela Forever!

[@mishacknthane1060]

he was global icon, the chief priest if he can't tell the truth he would rather remain silent but he could not remain silent when democracy was caricatured the rule of law flouted.

[@ej2333]

Are there still original records of Zombie, or were they destroyed during the Raid?

[@aarondixon7]

GREAT!!!

[@MuzikJunky]

Nice Dual 1229 you got there! Peace.

[@Alkubelan]

Rite On, Thank You Abiola!!!!!!

[@yaminhaniyah2979]

No one reaches the heights seeking out rarities. How come these people always comes out after someone has died being a talented artist. What are they saying, that they bought the publishing rights now a days. And when?

[@basetsanamolemane8729]
