- This is a rare footage of the late great Afrobeat legend, FELA KUTI & EGYPT 80 getting down to another Underground Spiritual Game/Sound, "BEASTS OF NO NATION!
Enjoy! - Hudba
Fela's music and message pierce my brain. This music makes me groove, think, move, share and makes me think.
Questioning authority, a world wide theme. I can dig it here in California.
peace to you all.
people before profits
THE BUILD UP OF THIS MUSIC IS SUPER GREAT...MISS U SO MUCH FELA!
I love you my black brother. You are a global hero with balls of steel! Andrew Terrazas
OMG fela kuti is alive ! alive in our heart
nigeria in everywere
words can't describe the genius of this song therefore i won't use them to.... An open mind is all that is needed by everyone
thanks for posting this. I don't know why people (or one psycho person) is complaining - fuzzy Fela is better than no Fela at all. keep it coming
Fela was renowned for more than "his style of music", he renowned for defending freedom of true human expression. His "music style" was only a by-product of his Black African roots as well as the message and the way he chose to deliver the message.
Solomon Capulet I share your sentiments . Maybe they never saw the Legend in the flesh , a man of shortish stature whose personality was so awesome it made him look like a giant. Perhaps they were not privileged to behold his piercing ,defiant yet loving eyes, the eyes of a of a man born before his time. Maybe they never saw his strut, the walk of a man who knows exactly where he is going. Yes maybe they never beheld our beloved, our blessed Fela.
Being listening to Fela since 1993
I was only 14 and ever since still listening and I believe I collected his entire discography
I love this music. It had changed my musical life. God save Kuti
This rythm here is sweeeeeeeeeeet man!!!! can't get enough of it!!!!!!!!!
It´s My favorite song the Fela genius. One of the most important representant of african culture. Thanks for this vídeo. I´m waiting for ages to this wonderful experience. Great!
I hope somebody somewhere is listening. That intro part to this song was completely edited out of the CD and thus Bests O No Nation is sefving an incomplete exhibit on CD. Why anyone would edit that part out, probably ignorant of how crucial it is to the song (not even mentioning it deeply hypnotizing import) I will never understand.
Not born there, but I lived there before and saw FELA perform numerous times at the Africa Shrine.
i just love this start off, the base guitar the piano, the drums, complexly beautiful
You be like the kind person whey FELA yapped for his "JEIN-JEIN" tune.
"J'EHIN-J'EHIN"
This tune is called, "J'ehin-J'ehin"
Which in broken English means, "Chop-Teeth, Chop-Teeth"
Somebody who eats, eats his teeth...
And only a fool can eat his teeth..."
As part of my work as a Black African ancient & recent history researcher, writer, preserver, my work is not only limited to the damages of colonialism on Black African peoples and their environments. My work equally focuses on studying Black psychological state and attempting to assess the damage. You still have a chance to break away from deeply conditioned negativity called "Nigerian Sentiment"; if you want. Else, further depths of the damages of this "Nigerian Sentiment" will be revealed.
zookat your video art is so wonderful and always great! it is such a pleasure to see and READ your footages. I love them all, the ones I have seen. thank you for letting us see your great gift!
The first 30 seconds..nostalgia!!

evad:
Thanks for the thanks!
Glad you liked it. I wished the quality was better.
MASTERY.

Looks like you dig this a lot.
So just for you, I will soon post another FELA performance of "TEACHER DON'T TEACH ME NONSENSE" from the same concert. "EVERYBODY SAY, YEAH-YEAH!"
Legends never die
Greatest
That video went thru a stage of converting it from PAL to NTSC format. That caused some of the fuzziness and wobbles. Sorry, that's the best quality that I have to offer. If more people keep complaining rather than enjoy or appreciate the effort to share this, I will take it offline.
Tres bien, merci!
mystical
@Cellotron not this person. I try to experience the genius of Fela's music every day of my life. Baba will live forever through these great tunes!
True.....
The perfect entertainer
Thanks for your support, Jurnalyst... that "keycha" person nah true Shenshema or "Opposite People" o!
"Yeah-Yeah"
I see & hear ya...
Songs of "Sorrows Tears & Blood," "Confusion Break Bone," "Everything Scatter"... lyrics that expose and highlight corruption, misrule and injustice. But earlier in his career especially with KOOLA LOBITOS, FELA did pen a few love songs... like the classic "Ololufe Mi" (LOVER), "My Baby Don't Love Me" and later "Beautiful Dancer" to mention a few...
zoombie
Anyone who speaks truths "most people already know" is not spouting "so-called truths", it is actually telling of the truth. Just because people may know the truth doesn't make something less truthful because someone you don't like said it.
In addition to spewing random epithets, there was nothing "soft spot" about what I've learned about this Nigerian Sentiment Nigerians often destroy themselves with.
Legend
Many Nigerians whom I've had conversations with call it "Nigerian Sentiment". In fact, when one digs deep to discover the reason for such hate, it is usually based on ignorant and unfounded accusation like the ones you made, born out of envy, jealousy or a combination of both.
Mary Slessor is just one example of countless examples of the Euro-Western contribution in manipulation and undermining the Black Africa's psychological state (what you now call "mindset of the nigerian"). In clarity, just like you, many Black Africans erroneously think they can change their situation without confronting and correcting historical errors head on. I can tell you this is virtually impossible. I continue to study Nigeria's colonial history and the damages is still very evident.
It was posted last night in 3-parts.
Look for them under my ID.
KERE-KEKE-JI-KEKE.... Yaaaaaaaaaah....
KEJI-KEKE.... Yaaaaah.....
I don't have that and I seriously doubt if any such video exists.
A standard for critical thinking.
what are you talking about? it is not posted. i want the Fela Version, not the Red Riot Version (which is basically a cover). Post the link here if you think it is "all ready" posted
Thank you o jare... Nah one "Shenshema/Opposite People" wan make I vex take the thing down. I would had offered a better video if I had it.
ABAMI FOREVER.
Soji Odukogbe!
7olusegun, I sincerely hope you made a genuine error in spelling "Rust" instead of "Rest". The letter 'U' on the keyboard is four key away, how does one make such a mistake? If it wasn't a mistake, you should know that the universe ways of sending forces of misfortune to certain, selected individuals.
7olusegun ,quite a thoughtful reply.However this tradition stems from the simple reason that the dead are unable to defend themselves thus denied a fair hearing. I agree that Fela's views on the invincibility of Africans to the to AIDS was misguided but this would imply the imposibility of him contemplating or accepting he had it . A man of Fela's integrity does not deal in lies. Read Soyinka's death and the Kings Horseman and you will understand to an extent what Fela was really about.
@SuperQueenofAfrica :Yes oooo..lol... : - winks
abeg thank god better brother don start to dey talk correct thing. ive been saying for years we black people nigerians, caribbeans afro hispanic and afro american are ashamed of being black we no go prosper until we learn
Like a TONY ALLEN's song, "Psycho On The Bus"
I think we got one here now! (-:
You are now BLOCKed here. Keep it up and I will banish you from ALL my posts.
@keychaoodotcom You don come again? I banished you under your old ID "keychautadotcome" when you started to insult people on posts here, "Ms. Etiquette??" Have you turned a new leaf? Looks like the other account was closed down for abuse, and you opened another one?
7olusegun, pick up some books by Cheikh Anta Diop, C.L.R. James, Yosef ben Jochannan, Dr. John Henrick Clarke, Ivan Van Sertima, Theophile Obenga and from there you will discover everything I said was for your own benefit.
You can also search and find many video lectures of these great minds on CZcams. Re-education is the only way to free yourself of the negative mindset you obviously don't like very much but can't help being controlled by.
one veto vote is equal to 92 or more or more, which kind sense be that? na animal sense
In your erroneous charge the Fela "inadvertently help spread the scourge of AIDS", you provided to proof to anything you saying. I personally know of no women he married who charged Fela with having HIV or getting such disease from him. In fact, Fela has children and all of them are perfectly healthy. Do you know any of his children who have HIV?
7olusegun, you're absolutely wrong.
Fela didn't have to claim anything. People claimed and he accepted. Fela merely attempted to communicate his views through his music with the hopes that people would listen. Just like anything else, it is all an attempt, a gamble to open peoples eyes. If people connect with the message, the messenger is remembered. It is funny how you're trying to intellectualize illogical statements you made earlier while holding your baseless grudges on Fela.
7olusegun you amaze me. What makes Christianity superior to the African indigenous religions or can you prove the truth and validity of yours over and above them or any other world religion like Islam or Hinduism for example. What is so great about yours when you have to bath in and drink the blood of your saviour .What makes yours so great when you live every second of your life in fear of a great demon you call satan ever ready to claim your soul for eternal damnation.
De psycho still dey ride de bus, eh??
I think you have some issues. You better go get help before your keyboard gets injured! A good keyboard is a terrible thing to waste!
7olusegun I have only one thing to say to you . Please tell me you are not of the Yoruba race in particular because if you are not aware I will tell you other cultures and races the world over also have the decency and good sense not to speak ill of the dead. My brother its not done. please dont reply you have defiled this comments section enough.
When Ethiopia granted Bob Marley's family permission to have Marley's body re-buried in Ethiopia because that's where Bob Marley always wanted to be buried, the U.S. and other Euro-Western nations rejected with weird aggression? Why? Did they not want for people to see the evidence that Bob Marley was actually shot and didn't die of any toe or leg cancer?
Making allegation and being a media gullible individual is easy, but thinking on your own and looking beyond your nose is more rewarding.
Finally, you falsely attempted to cast some of my statements as "soft spot" instead of what they actually are (undiluted truth). I am not surprised you have a hard time dealing with it. You don't want to admit you are wrong. Ever since I started researching this thing called "Nigerian Sentiment" I've realized the best way to deal with is by speaking undiluted truths and pointing out all illogical expressions like the ones you've made.
7olusegun, perhaps you didn't read/grasp what I wrote properly. I said "genuine error", not "sincere 'mistakes'". They are not the same thing; therefore, your response was completely off and illogical. In fact, you offended "the dead man" twice.
If you intended to be witty in your response and intend to be so in the future, make you grasp basic concepts.
Thanks bud... that was weird. That psycho person now posts under the "keychaoodotcom" CZcams ID.
Checkout that ID for a few laughs. (-:
Look out for some more rare Fela clips in the near future. "Yeah-Yeah"
7olusegun, I told you you would be frustrated if you continued to respond aimlessly and now you're becoming even more illogical as anger finds you increasingly attractive. Next, all your commonsense may go out the window and you'll resort to pure insults. Most Nigerians I've met and dealt with are usually humble, very smart, hard working, God fearing individuals who pray for and have high hopes for their motherland. Most Black Africans from Nigeria are good people.
10 years ago you delivered this message as at age 18 now i understand.
And you keep getting the point wrong. Fans can be fan, there are countless Black men and women whose eyes where opened by the awesome truth he spoke. But you keep working to degrade the man's timeless message as if his sole purpose was to create some music style. You maybe Nigerian judging from your screen name and I've notice how vehement certain Nigerians can be on their own kind.
what is your problem Olusegun I sense beef here or hypocrisy or holier than thou . What do you have with Aids . Live your own life and live Fela alone . Every one of your posts is about what you expected from Fela . he was living his life and not your expectations of how he should live his life . He died of Aids so what. WE celebarate his music his guts and his courage . we know about his excesses so dont educate us abeg .
Oh, oh... I see that you got a ID makeover.
(keychautadotcome vs. keychaoodotcom)
I blocked you before and will block you again if you don't stop posting those silly gibberish here.
The negative base you have is not a good foundation for logic. If one was to follow you view we would have new English words for saying "Good morning" everyday.
7olusegun, again, you make absolutely no sense. Your attempts to gain logical edge over me without challenging your deep flaws will only lead you to frustrations. As I said before, as part of my studies as to why Black Africans can't work with each other to build their nations (mostly as a result of colonialism and the by-products of post-colonialism), I focused on Nigerians, Ghanaian, Kenyans and others.
You might be a permanently damaged individual and possibly can't see it.
Further more, your idea of "soft spot" makes no sense just like all your other illogical word spinning. Where your logic really falls short is the fact you don't realize that new generations are born and the same messages need to repeated. This is how people, cultures and traditions survive. Therefore, telling the truth is always "Meaninful talking" no matter how many people know.
As an example of how illogical you've become (disregarding your insults), you asked:
"What has colonialism excuse got to do with a nation's development?" (in relations to Black Africans)
Colonialism and post colonialism played a major role why there is a lack of development in Africa because the colonial dictators looted, destroyed and rewrote a great portions of your history as Black African. You allowed your anger and frustration to blind you resulting in the elementary question you asked.
You're obviously bent to selling the idea that Fela somehow contributed to the ills of your homeland. The problem is, you can't see just how poisonous you are. Individuals like you multiplied by a few thousands and putting in position to run a government will gives you clear idea of why Nigeria and other Black African nations have had a difficult time developing.
Rather than pressuring yourself and continue responding aimlessly, you should focus on fixing you and let go of your hate for Fela.
