There is no simple way to explain Fela's genius - it is an orchestra, it is choral, it is jazz, it is alluring instrumental harmony, it is mesmerising rhythmic energy, it is Afro-beat! It's qualities are unprintable. It is deep in timbre and richness. The more you listen to it the more you discover! This is why it moves the soul! It is Fela! No one else on Earth can do it. He was one of a kind!

[@MlilwanaOsanku]

The music is different from previous content. Of course, there are recognized influences, therein. The music is ancestral consciousness as transmitted and exhibited by and in the human experience - known as Fela. Is it possible, the artistry of Fela is consistent with expressions of the most ancient ancestors? This truth warrior often wonders whether there is such a reality as split souls. Perhaps, Fela, Peter Tosh and Lucky Dube are split souls. It is conceivably, Fela, Peter Tosh and Lucky Dube shared DNA of several generations of common ancestors.

Incredible musical figure and Freedom Hero. Risked many time his life. Music incarnate. He surpasses Bod Marley, Stewie Wonder, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, Coltrane and many others brought together. His music makes me feel like I had many lives before this one and that in one of those lives I danced to the sound of this magic music...

There is something about the music of Fela Kuti... it often feels like the weary and restorative road home. A reminder to give body, heart, and mind a reset. Breathe. Move. Surrender. Play. Juicy. It's good medicine.
