We spent very happy times when FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI came in KAMERUN in the middle 70's. We even tried to sing this particulary song during school music shows, using our own words n mostly in our dialect
I f you want a party jam music this is it!Fela at his best.You cannot just listen to this peoce without moving.Fela was just too much in this peice.Excellent rendition.FOGO FOGO EBENI!
Adeolu Akinsanya, Victor Olaiya, Uwaifor, Rex Lawson were rocking the scene back then in Lagos before Fela Ransome-Kuti came into the scene...and it was like lightening!! RIP Chief Priest!!!!
Opened my mouth, sang jeun ko ku sang na fight o sang who are you re sang alu jon jon ki jon I've incurred debt bought different alcoholic beverages( beer, stout, ogogoro, whisky) we drank now my pocket is empty started breaking bottles because we are having a good time each bottle is worth 6 pence (sisi sisi) the debt you want me to incur I have incurred hope you have heard. Essentially the above is the gist of this song
Baba Kuti was simply making reference to the ingrates of this world that you spent time, money and energy on. And now that you're broke, they wouldn't show appreciation for your good deeds towards them in the past when you had money. And now that you can no longer feed them with "freesbies", they became disruptive, threatening, destructive and posed danger to your livelihood/ well-being etc. .
Original afro beat. He was a creative and an entertaining musician. His music cut across all ages. I hope his music continues to reap dividends like other dead musicians in "civilized" societies.
Hot dammmmmmmnnnnn!!!! R.I.P Great Comrade and Son of Africa. You are FOREVER with us. The previously uniformed are now in civvies...and still robbing us blind. But, Baba, the M.O.P is growing stronger with each passing day. By God's grace, we shall overcome. R.I.P
This song was ad-libbed live at the original Afro-Spot later called Kakadu when a fight broke out while Fela's band was playing. In those days the breweries charged deposits for drink bottles. They were smashing bottles and this was Fela's response to those ingrates who didn't appreciate the music and would rather fight over some woman. You can google Bodederek for more info.
A very groovy Afrobeat tune... Yeah-Yeah! Mo ra beer, t'emu... Mo ra Stout-u, t'emu... Mo ra whi-si-ky, t'en-sha! Mo r'ogogoro, t'en-sha-para! Mo r'ogogoro, t'en-sha-bora! Mo r'oguro, t'en-fi-w'enu Mo w'apomi, apomi gbe! Mo w'apomi, apomi gbe!
I like the beat of this song. It has some small guitar chords thown in for rhythm,....my friend "idris" introduced me to fela kuti's music and this is the only song that I like so far. the way that the song ended with everything coming together is the peak for me. the girl on the cover is also nice......Im going to go home and see if I can do the rhythm guitar on this song or at least learn it by ear.
emu te mu te fi da gbese si won lorun, ni mo fe ko , lese yi o, we put our mouth for song, we sing alu jon jon ki jon, then fela sing na fight, also chop and quench

This is the kind of groove we can no longer find, not even with Seun and the Egypt 80.
Oooh yes the 👑 King 👍
Tony Allen was on Drums ;)

I've incurred debt
bought different alcoholic beverages( beer, stout, ogogoro, whisky)
we drank
now my pocket is empty
started breaking bottles because we are having a good time
each bottle is worth 6 pence (sisi sisi)
the debt you want me to incur I have incurred
hope you have heard.

more of tjhis plz.. pace
This music of his here only makes sense by absorbing the picture of the goddess on the cover.

Yours is an indisputable fact. Overheard my brother and friends discuss it back then. Kudos.
i share the same views with almost everyone who commented
Oh so nice..

a medley of songs leading to fogo fogo , which means break bottle , break bottle, people got high at kalakuta and was being merry....
WIKKED TUNE.......DON'T TEST
respect!!
Nowdays the mayority of afrobeat bands don't have nothing to say. Just showing skills, but not single word, like an endless egotrip.
Fine________
