opposite people is one of fela's classic hits,the number was well composed and arranged by the abami eda himself,a very good music that will always up your mood anytime any day... opposite people

[@kalakuta_mentality]

You summed it all up!

[@Nikannosneb]

Opposite People was one of Fela's greats and one of the complex grooves for any drummer. The drummer here did justice to it. Kudos team. The drummer will make late Tony Allen (Fela's legendary drummer) turn in his grave.

[@kalakuta_mentality]

Our drummer is a very fan of Tony! He worked a lot to adopt the exact groove! Thanks for noticing and writing it! your comment means a lot to him

[@hrhprincessmoradeun]

As someone who grew up with Fela's Afrobeat Vibes, a Regular at the Shrine who had the Honour to conduct an Exclusive TV Interview with the Legend himself...I have to give your Band High Royal Salute and Massive KUDOS for a most Beautiful Rendition of 'Opposite People' 🙌🏾👑👑🙌🏾...Oh Wow, I can hear Abami himself saying "Everybody Say Yeah Yeah!" from the Great Beyond! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💃🏽🕺🏾🎼😊🤘🏾😎🎵...

[@kalakuta_mentality]

Massive thank you, it's unreal for us that someone who has experienced Fela's afrobeat in real life appreciates our interpretation. It means a lot to us!! Question: Do you know if there are videos of Fela and Africa 70 somewhere? (Apart from the live in Berlin and some black and white excerpts)

[@yvesligot7885]

Maxance Dell'Orefice has an AMAZING charisma.

[@uncensored2282]

this is true afrobeats; you cannot not dance. the genius of fela

[@kalakuta_mentality]

Thank you!

[@marlonking8830]

Afrobeat is universal . . . thank you Kalakuta Mentality. I'd love to attend one of your live shows anywhere.

[@Tosnel]

Me too

[@kalakuta_mentality]

Thanks Marlon and Tosan, we will play this summer in Switzerland, maybe around the world on day!

[@eugeneadede6910]

This is great!!

[@marlonking8830]

I'm so eternally lucky to have stumbled onto this beautiful tribute to Fela. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheodoreDorado]

Absolutely outstanding performance of an equally sacred and groovy powerful genre piece--one that ALWAYS needs revisited, explored, adapted, and performed. Fantastic personal touches. I wish some persons realized how bafadd this truly is and how much time and effort it likely took to prepare and practice, rather than just leaving some unsolicited comment about the body of the member they personally find attractive. Anyway, ya'll killed it. Exceptional work 👉😎👉

[@kalakuta_mentality]

It was a very big job to get there, yes! We had to analyze Fela's music in depth, then rewrite the complete scores, and finally rehearse! It's a lot of fun now to do gigs and make people happy by playing Fela's afrobeat! We are very happy that at least one person realizes the work behind...

[@samnamo5156]

Goosebumps all over me right here in Abuja!

[@kalakuta_mentality]

Cheers from Morges!

She's Well Fit Innit🤪🥰😍🤩 Seriously Great Talent All Around!

[@williepard]

I’m kinda fond of the gal in the orange cap, but each to his own. Bottom line, this band does great service to Fela’s original…almost as good as Newen Afrobeat.

✨👏👏👏🌈

[@OssahMan]

The tempo is too fast, but a great cover. I love it.

[@kooshikoo6442]

Really good version, and the trumpet solo was awesome! My only complaint is that they chose this song that has been played by too many bands already.

[@kalakuta_mentality]

Just because it's been played by a lot of bands doesn't mean it's not a great song :)! But stay tuned, we're playing all the best tracks from Africa 70', new videos are coming soon!

[@claricestarling6510]

Yes or this may be th first hearing for some young peeps o This type of rhythm an be introducing they to to the brilliance of fela kuti🐾💞

[@koris6145]

There's absolutely nothing wrong, that's the beautiful of Afrobeat and music. In fact I absolutely love it.

[@randallgibson4598]

trumpet solo nailed it sax solo tries too hard to sound like fela buddy do your own thing

[@odimarioehimare4251]
