I remember first hearing Fela Kuti so long ago, my memory plays trix on me, but I think it was 1980/81 or so, when I was 15/16, and the song colonial mentality, and I have never forgotten it, even though I have never heard it again. I am now 41. I believe you when you say he was a shaman or another wave length. That was some powerful music. He deserves to be celebrated along with the likes of Bob Marley, Roy Ayers and many others. Thank you!

Fela for president! For those who don't know where to start I can recommend "The best best of Fela Kuti. The Black President" which most of the songs mentioned in the post (except for Colonial mentality). Great post! Fela for president!

I knew nothing about his music until now. Thanks for the exposure. You guys keep doing what you are doing. Music is the weapon! Unfortunately some of today's artists have self-inflicted wounds from it. Excellent write up (or should I say Right UP). I knew nothing about his music until now. Thanks for the exposure.
