Live kuti!!! Only fela!!! Rest in peace brother!!! You helped us WAKE!!!! Your energy keeps us MOVING FORWARD!!!!! Your precious MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!

[@Multicolouredflyfish]

My Dad would always play this when we were younger and I remember singing along in the car, and have been singing it ever since but only just rediscovered it tonight!

[@ms-iz9ye]

MulticolouredFlyFish that’s really cool that you grew up with music like this. That’s something I hope to do with my future kids is show them diverse music, especially from different parts of the world

[@copazetik]

I do this for my 3 and 8 year old sons now. I stumbled upon Fela but they will know his name!

[@romzaish]

The painful thing is all these songs where sang in 70's and in 2020 all the problems are still there.

[@tommi1864]

Those, and more now. Remember when Fela said, "...we fear for the air around us...we fear for the thing we cannot see..."?

[@nanao.292]

Pity it doesnt change for the whole 16 minutes.

[@illitrait]

...open your mind - you might get it some day.

[@MilesBreuer]

Africa 70 basslines are all killer basslines.

[@DubIsTheFoundation]

actually it does change, listen close to the first minute.... :)

[@MindDepth]

Can you hear Revolution!? ✊🏿

[@tommi1864]

Revolution, resistance, blind compliance all begin with recognition of the existing oppressive authority. Until we are willing to look away and live free, accepting the responsibilities, this steady deterioration of the human condition will continue. Every violent revolution in recorded history ends with worse conditions for the people. The revolution must take place in the mind

The only people that can top Fela music is Bob Marley and Michael Jackson

[@andreswz3297]

realmente creo que ellos dos estan por debajo, sobretodo Michael, Fela era todo, musico cantante, politico, subversivo , agitador, grandes letras.The Wailers era una tremenda banda, pero lo de Africa 70 ya es descomunal
