me, I used to listen to Fela Kuti on my walkman along brighton seafront - back in the day :-)
I am Cuban and have been listening to Fela since the 70’s...Need I say, more?
I listened to him in 80 th ans after .and see him at the french humanity fest in 1985 or 86
@@alainclement9244Same as italian, and we listen him in some disco too
Gilberto Perez: : "...Need I say more?..." No! You have said everything there is to say! I too have been enjoying his music since the 70's. Need I say more? Once again thanks for Cuban support in our struggle against apartheid in South Africa! Muchos Gratias! Hombro con hombro...mano con mano...!

Im african and im just learning about Fela Kuti. This means i spent 25 years of my life not really existing. His music is so good
philip bangura right!!!
Wow nice line about just starting to exist..really deep lol
Welcome to music, Africa, constructive criticism and life. ✌️
philip bangura ..wow.what..he was popular all over Africa, especially West Coast if Africa. I was a child. ,we used to dance ..( I think he is Yoruba).
lovelle sokan He is undoubtedly yoruba to the bone, and a pan African to the core.
Mother Africa ♥️ lots of love to the birthplace of drums, to the birthplace of mankind, to the birthplace of this legend 🇳🇬. Lots of love from Istanbul 🇹🇷
Living God is the greatest.
🎉🎉
respect to Istanbul, thank you!
The king of Afro beat. This was recently used in the superb film ‘Queen &Slim’
Yes! Yes! Yes! That is why I am here - got reminded of this classic. Much Love from South Africa!!
King of music not just afrobeat...even Bob Marley listened to him
That was burna boy too he remade this song
Reporting all the way from the streets of Soweto. Shakara......
Love from Nigeria.. wizkid sang a song titled Soweto baby💞💞❤️
Le king de la musique nigériane du temp(année 70 environ) Fela kuti repose très en paix.l instrumental vrai du temps.
Love from sth equator 💚
My mom was just telling me how her and her friends used to dance to this back in Nigeria in the 70’s with their Afros and mini dresses. Haha ❤️❤️
Fela Forever
Same in Paris...Mom told me about it, dancing with girlfriends, in mini skirts too! Aha!
I probably danced with her at the Star Hotel in Accra, Ghana. Kuti was awesome.
Used to!!? I bet she’s still grooving to the beat!❤
I listened to him from when I was 18. I am 70 now.❤❤❤
What a legend. In the 80s in my hometown in Limpopo (SA) this guy was huge. One of my school mates was even named Shakara. Rest easy big man!
Fela was light years ahead of his time musically and politically. He lives on.
He was in his own world its as if he knew he was going to be this big after he was gine
Reliving my days as a young foreign PhD student in the early 70s at the University of Ibadan (UI). Just before the time of Fela's concert at UI there had been a student protest and the police had stormed the campus. Many students fled. Some challenged the police and threw home made bombs. The big day for the concert arrived. We took our seats early as we'd been told the place would be jam packed and that Fela, typically, did not arrive early. We sat for hours waiting. Then the bandsmen turned up and took their position on the stage. They spent an inordinate amount of time tuning their instruments. Everyone in the hall grew impatient and began to hurl insults at them. Some threw objects. Then hours later, Fela arrived. The minute he started to play, all was forgiven. We got up from our seats and started to dance. It was electric!! Right bang in the middle of the song the music stopped. We wondered what happened. The lights were still on. Then Fela looked around, from right to left and said "Look at you...foolish students. You see police you run. You see Fela you throw stone!". Before anyone could say a thing, he continued to sing and.. well.. .everyone returned to dancing.
Such a gifted musician. RIP Fela.
Those were the days of the oil boom. Nigeria rocked. We pray for the peace of that fascinating country.
...thank you for this remarkable testimony of a truly remarkable episode with one who can only be described as a true legend. It is important for those who were there to tell those who weren't. Fela forever.
What an interesting tale!
Thanks for sharing your story.
I envy you, because you were born when the word hasn't entered much madness. I mean, look at my generation. Wonder what will become of the children born by 2050.
Lucky you Brother!
This was the soundtrack to my childhood. Cookouts, Weddings, Roadtrips, everything....
You had a great childhood.
plenty respect for the man who dared and fought all the governments of oppression.
Fela, rest in peace.
I'am black I'am proud.
Thank you Fela.
Proud to be an African. Thank you Baba.
Not black, but thankful to know his music for over 30 years. Right on 🎶
I'm not black, but equally proud. thanks Fela-. Proud has no color. Miss you.
I regret not visiting the shrine to see him in person when He was alive. Our Parents did not want us to become like him, Radical, Hemp smoking, Crazy head with all the Women around him, Always fighting the oppressive Governments when I was growing up. He went to my high school, I was soo close but soo far from him then. Now I wish I disobeyed my Parents for once when I was growing up. True Legend.
You missed bro. Fela na Abami Eda.
My high school was about 400 metres away from the shrine in the 70s. And even though we were too young at the time to go in....we always had fun hanging around the gate and just soak in the spiritual atmosphere. We got into a lot of trouble though....because we had to skip school lessons sometimes😜😜😜😜😜. It was FUN.
J'ai 67ans je l'ai vu au shrine, cool,décontracté, charismatique , débattre politique, musique ; la conscience africaine déterminée.
I grew up in Ikeja close to shrine and my primary school Springfield nursery and primary school was just 5 mins walk.
I was close to his shrine but told to stay far away from it. He was to parents bad behavioural influence but now I know he need those behaviour in order to fight oppression which our parents where suffering and smiling
@@hassanlawal5579 which school is that please
I'm glad Fela Kuti is finally getting the recognition that he so deserves, as the father of afrobeat receiving flowers from around the world as the musical genius he is/was, he was the True African Giant.
My greatest African musical legend. He is great in my home country of South Africa. Im 70yrs now and have been playing since I was a teenagers. May his soul rest in POWER!
Who is listening with me in this 2019.
If you does let me get some like and comments. RIP fela kuti. Such a hero
He sure is the king of afrobeat
Na we dey here nothing dey happen
Here I am, absolutely fan of this amazing man! :) May he rest in peace! ❤️
This here my friend, is the one of the origins of what we now call Afrobeat. The sure don't make them like they used to...
👏🎺🎷🇳🇬🎤👆👍❤️.
Fela was such a revolutionary musician who was far ahead of his contemporaries. Just like Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and the other early post-independent African leaders, only posterity will understand what they really meant. Their good deeds can never be wished away.
They live forever in our minds. They are Legends and our own prophets because their message will haunt us until we do something about what they were preaching to us.
Sankara
Every Shakara man get Shakara Woman. 😂😂😂😂 Fela our Legend ❤🙏🏾
South Africa appreciates, continue to Rest In Peace Fela the Legend ❤️
Blessed memory,Fela Anikulapo Kuti passed away @ 59 August 2nd 1997 gr8 prophet born October 15th 1938. Never a Messiah like him big loss not only to Nigeria but d world. There's no1 on dis earth as pure minded n spoke d truth always as Baba King of Kalakuta Fela 1 &only African Black Presido. 2 young then actually to meet/see him life but still thank God Baba livs on having to listen to his music best of d best, fearless lion. T'd make me n many, lots more happy(ier) if Nigeria cld ve a film documentary, staged etc wit his fams etc. Dis gr8 man of Africa neva been 4gotten, yet must b tot in sculs to many generations n t'll giv more Black men/wo vis-a-vis more courage n understandings to fight 4 wat's right, dia rights, sanity n freedoms to all humans. Liv free n Let liv freely.

Rip Baba Fela Anikulapo Kuti...........Abamieda
Sun reo Omo Oodua 9ja Yoruba African rere.....
Some said he was deluded, others were indifferent but if you ask me, i say he was a prophet, are we not suffering and smiling? Abami eda forever! 🙌
How can a song be so perfect.
Ryan Terwilliger, because it’d dared stray along the least taken roads.
Ancestors chose him to communicate to the world, plain and simple!
Right
Ryan Terwilliger
My bro Ryan, you the hit nail squarely on the head. African Gods May never forgive the world and Nigerians for not celebrating this immortal.
Fella warned Nigerians about Buhari repeatedly (As Animal in human skin) and we didn’t listen. Look at us now.....
O2 we celebrate fela every year in Nigeria... We call the celebration *Felabration*
This joint is one of the funkiest grooviest pieces of music I ever heard in my goddamn life. This nasty ass ensemble of notes and instruments just weaves and waves into my soul and butters me with dance and coolness. What a hidden gem. MY MIND IS BLOWN
yes man
Mine too! He was a musical genius! We knew that. But still...A prophet is not known in his land!
It sure is🎉
I was born in West Cameroon in a coast town called Victoria I was around 6 years old when this LP came out the back Side of the plate was another big Song entitled Lady, I can still remember the back postal with all the half necked girls in the form of 70 and king 👑 Delay was just with his under pants, it was a big deal back then, the guy was ahead of his time, May his soul rest in perfect peace, Ambazonia for ever.
I'm Liberian and my Ghanaian uncle used to rock this album back in the day. 70's
I can listen to nothing but Fela these days. ✌🏿 Peace and love from South Africa
The architect of African music at work !! 😊👑❤
The most influential musician in Africa a real contemporary griot, i had the opportunity to pay my respect to him when i visited his shrine and that of Femi ,took photos by his tomb there is an african proverb that when a great tree fall Lizards stays there so is FELA there were still some ladies by the shrine, it was one of the greatest moment of my life: RIP LEGEND😂😂😂😂😂
Great souvenirs from the 70s and 80s. Fella never dies. his spirit is always high. Drop likes if u love Fela the greatest of all times
Happy birthday to you BABA FELA....your children, Nigerian youths don tire to suffer and smile BABA,we taking a revolution no.....
This is an amazing song by Fela who used to be my amazing nextdoor neighbor when I was in fashion school in Lagos, Nigeria.BIG RESPECTS, YOU'RE AN AMAZING MAN!!
Really? You lived with a legend!!
@@chukwudicollins2931 Not with, next door to.
Toyin st? Ikeja
You're so lucky.... Please tell us how he was.... I know he never wore any clothes 😂😂❤️ but what else
2019, I listened fela songs and I said to myself our problems in Nigeria and African as a whole did just start today politics, Wow, it's being a long time. May God bless you fela for letting us know the truth. You are indeed a true legend. RIP.
When I was in university at IFE now called OAU, Fela used to come regularly to give lectures especially during the Student’s Union week.
In the evening he will then do a concert where he always played new materials.
When I then moved to London I had the pleasure of attending the 2 of his last concerts he held.
I feel honoured having met him in person and even having a picture with him closest to a selfie in those days.
The 70s when trumpets sounded like elephants in an African jungle. Music has undergone some transformations as all these trumpets hv been replaced by keyboards nowadays. Thx to my cousin, the late Fred, for introducing me to Fela in 1979.
"Trumpets sounded like elephants..." Thanx Pure poetry.
Rest in peace big BROTHER may grant a peace in his kingdom .
Beautiful appreciation ❤️🎶🐘
@@Lux8conFrances ❤️
The only man in africa. I will fight with him to the end.
Here on the North Coast of Colombia nicknamed him the Shakalao. Tremendous song that danced on the north coast of our country in the 70s
Thanks +Jaime Tejeda for the testimony. It is important for us, Africans on the continent, to know that you, our sisters and brothers in South America, remain connected.
@@LimKaamen well said
Que viva Colombia!
What does Shakalao mean?
@@ZuluPoet It sounds like it's their take on the title word/ refrain "Shakara oloje ni"... the "R" can sound to some ppl like an "L" : so it becomes "Shakala oloje ni" ...then if you are singing along but don't know tha language u might stop after the first "o" as it gets hazy after that ... so you get "Shakalao ..."
The legend,The greatest. I named my son Kuti b'cause of the love of his craft.
this piece is famous for its title and lyrics
but honestly, Fela didnt have to say a word...the instrumental is already such a monument....
that Sax.....
Cartagena,Colombia Presente!!!
Hello to my Palenqueros people I love you ! From Congo
wepa!
Fela didn't bring the Africa to the world.
Fela brought and still brings the world to Africa.
Music is STILL the weapon.
Sharpen your minds and be ready.
now i see why dad had so many Fela records back then.....a great Legend
I'm a youngster and I love this music

@@mishacknthane1060 Okay ill copy your number... HE is a great musician
Fela was far ahead of time like many revolutionaries of time we don't know or understand and appreciate their talents until the almighty Allah take them heaven through darkness before we acknowledge their greatness. Rip brother and may God almighty grabt you peace, amen 🙏😭
This is NOT Afropop. This masterpiece genre Fela invented is known as AFROBEAT - the Afropop of today sampled a lot of his gems but that's where the similarities end.
Who is listening to the legend in May 2020 like ME?
Me, in November 2020. Paris
J'ai 64 ans et j'ai grandi avec la musique de Fela, le Roi de l Afrobeat
This is one of the best tracks ever recorded
I was always aware of Fela. I never paid attention till I played him by accident o radio and cut the song half way. It was too long. A caller immediately said Nooo MR DJ u don’t do that. That’s Fela my man please let him play. I said Oh! From there I played two more songs and damn it!!! I had to research more about this man. Now am hooked to this joint!!!
I 2023 nd cant help to marvel how much of a musical genius Fela was.
still listening all the way from Nairobi, Kenya!!!!
Doctor : Sorry you have to live just 5 minutes
Patient : I have to listen Fela..but it takes around 13 minutes
God : Ok you can live again until the end of Shakara....👍👍

My doctor asked me if I knew about Fela Kuti when he saw that my name was Shakara. So glad he did! This is everything!
Oh, that's so cute!
I wonder if he was Yoruba, because the AA name 'Shakara' is very different to the Yoruba word and meaning. Beautiful story
Beautiful 😍 name!
My dad killed the sound system in the car because of this song
LOL!!
An excellent song to die for...as a sound system. Fela would approve
😆
My martial arts instructor put me on to Fela when I was like 19. Been listening ever since.
Fela had Vision, Purpose, Craft and Class of Monumental Distinction

Wow, if you sell those you will make a killing. Don't auction them though 😂
This is a lit track... Fela has soo many gems not to mention Tony Allen is the unforgettable drummer of Fela they may not be with us sure but the music is with us thats what makes it special because they both left behind good work... RIP to Tony Allen (the Drummer) and RIP to Fela...
There will never be another Fela. Rip Baba🕊️
