Customer Reviews

sum him up......analyse.........you just can't
fela is one of the very few musicians who refuse to be silenced... even the nigerian govt. could'nt, sadly baba has left us but the legend of his music lives on..... when I was much younger i had the one in a lifetime opportunity to visit his shrine at Ikeja, Lagos.......brilliant, breathtaking, soul warming music, I even got grounded for going because I was but a young girl then and young nigerian girls should not be caught at Fela shrines back home ....but then again I never regretted it he is great, outspoken a proper basket mouth, you have to be nigerian or understand the language to decipher some of what he says but someone with a true appreciation of highlife and its main men would love this......truly nigerian,......thruthful and sometimes saddening....what shall we do without him....well done amazon for feauturing him in your collection..for there is trully noone like Baba himself.

The sound, the lyrics -- just too deep!
Fela Kuti is simply too much! His music is among the absolute best I know. The combination of his powerful messages and moving instrumentals are beyond description.

earthy african rythm
I judge this one of Fela's late classics a new mood which he seemed to express after his release from in imprisonment in 1985. Typical of his late work, the energy which typified his best known songs gave way to very thoughtful and highly sophisticated compositions with strong political messages expressing the state of a nation flirting with anarchy
