This could be my favorite song he made and yet it makes me feel somewhat sick to listen to it. I love you FELA. Please Protect his children and grandchildren.

the power the message the sense the love of life the music the drum the dance of beloved FELA continues to inspire and awake and lead us out of the darkness populated by the insane the corrupt greedy the bad rich the pundits the parasites and the destroyers of all that is beautiful true free and good. i was born in surrey england but FELA LIVES in my hearts.... lets go people.

i have been always there,every friday with my elder brother,i was once a born again christian,but fela open my eyes to see the reality.its amazing,the earth miss fela

this man single handedly said the truth about evrything , both the country, nija, colonialists, and greedy politicians , abuse of power . fela remains the greatest african icon of all time , he represents the rebel they cudnt destroy ,make his legacy forever remain like the burning flame of time , shine understanding into the closed minds of all africans under oppresion in every form of life ...

WAS EXPOSED TO AND INFLUENCED BY THIS ICON FROM THE AGE OF 16 BACK IN 71 FELA will never be forgotten by America/Naijah off spring Long Live the rythum of Nigerian Funk

LIVED IN LAGOS DURING THIS PERIOD,CAN YOU BELIEVE THE GOOD SHAPE THIS WOMEN WERE?REMEMBER THIS WAS IN THE 70S.THEY WAY AHEAD OF ALL OF US.THEY WERE GENIUSES.PIONEERS THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE.

The work and genius of Fela is still relevant even in today's world. May he still continue to inspire us from Ikole Orun. Praise! Praises! Praises!

Long Live The Legend... Fela u Represent the People...And a True African u Were... Omo Iya Aje!

This isn't the 70s. This is actually 1990! The song was recorded in June 1989 with O.D.O.O. back when my parents met him. It came out as a single and video in 1990.

xixfunch I was a regular at the shrine's second incarnation at Ikeja Lagos. .walking down Pepple Street where the Club was located was like going into another dimension . A place where you had the inalienable right to be yourself. Hell you could dance down the full length of the street and no one would give you a glance . The very air of the place smelt of freedom. And when Fela held court once procedings began in the club it was like i had died and gone to paradise.

bro you couldn't be more wrong. saw this video at least 5 years before 1990. Still have it on VHS

blessed memory fela,ur legendry will always b remembered 4ever,may ur gentle soul rest in peace.amen

@01chidi Is it Irony that everything he predicted is happening. I wsh he was given a chance to rule Nigeria for once because he has the right recipe for success to rule nigeria and am sure when we have one good leader all african leader will follow suit. Boy how miss him but his music lives on. Long live abami eda, omo iya aje, black president.

long live the great Fela

I love Fela

WOW...classic!!!

hes still a legend

Pafuka like most words in broken english can mean many things depending on the context, it can mean all the things the other users have stated, but more appropriately 'wen sumtin don pafuka' it means that thing has gone 'haywire' or 'broken down'.

Long live Baba 70

Haha 3:05 looked like Fela wanted to slap one of his band members. Such a perfectionist!

❤️🕊️

Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was a HIV/AIDS denialists. At the age of 58 he died in 1997 of a disease he claimed didn't exist. Fela's older brother, Professor Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, had served as the country's health minister and launched Nigeria's much-lauded early AIDS program.
