Don’t ask if anyone is here in 2024, we never left 🤝🏽🙌🏽

Speaking as a 26 year old white boy in Kentucky, true music like this sails over the false walls that separate us. Truly, the fierceness of the spirit has been lost, my friends. Thank you for this sanctuary.

Who's still enjoying this masterpiece in 2020? They don't make them like Fela Kuti any more!!!

I'm a South African boy from the Zulu clan who just found out about the Legendary Fela Kuti and I have to say, he probably has to be the best musician ever. He managed to touch hearts with his sound under horrifying times. He still touches my heart and I'm only 22 years of age. His music is something I will be proud to passing on to my children. May his soul rest in power

As an African woman, Fela made me proud! I'm a WOMAN!

The first Yoruba person to actually challenge Nigerian government without seeking foreign supports or running away. O seun omo Akin!!!

Missing my dad who died 20 years ago, this was the music he loved and played in our home!

Nigerian legend proud to be Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

I am from Bosnia, who cares, it is 2020. who cares. Do I feel this? Yes! That’s why I am here.

I'm a south african man who has been raised constantly being exposed to fela. I will forever cherish his music ❤️🇿🇦🎶🙏2020

Greetings... a Guatemalan native here. I had the blessing of finding his music in 1996 and 25+ years later this music sounds even better after many years more under my belt.

the man who invented the whole genre. LEGEND!!

This song has me so emotional because I can imagine during his time with so much British influence how African women would have tried acting white and how Africans in general look down on their culture till today. I’m glad he spoke against it

I cant believe all my life I've been missing out on such BRILLIANT music. Better late than never

Arguably Africa's greatest musician

Growing up in the city of Lagos in the 90s, I always wondered at the mind this departed legend had that he could withstand soldiers' harassment, oppression, and torture just because of singing. He is indeed a prophet who foretells present-day conditions. African isn't yet free.

A song made in the 70’s still attacking issues of today. What a legend RIP Fela Kuti

i saw him in amsterdam in the 80s i paid my respect on his tumb in Lagos in the 90s i am crying listening to him in paris in October 2018 he make me fight against injustice in Ghana and the whole world where the word INJUSTICE means something in the 80s,90s and 20s i never tell the finish RIP MR.FELA

Long live Fela Kutism, freedom fighter and an independent mind.

!!!Tony Allen!!!..."your heart still beats in Heaven as your drumbeats still heats up our haven"...love eternal...Tony Allen 12/08/40 - 30/04/20

This song cemented fela as an unapologetic African man.

Shout out to those still listening to Fela in 2023

I've heard fela's lady for the first time in spring 1977. I was "bewitched" by its rhythm. I'm now 65 years old, and I listen to it usualy, especially the l'on version.

I just discovered his music 3 days ago. I'm about to go on a journey

It is so sad that Africans and Nigerians especially do not recognise their Legends and Heros. But we are proud to erect statues of Foreigners and name our important streets after them. While Fela is still not even given the status that befits him. Fela is still the best ambassador to have come out of Nigeria. The Nigerian youths have not forgotten and will never forget you Baba Fela Anikulapo ransomkuti because you still are a great source of inspiration and an Idol. You were there for the oppressed and down troden, that is still going on today in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. One day, we will name our best after you. Continue to rest in peace.

I am Cameroonian i like Fela Kuti this beautiful song

The Godfather of AFROBEATS!!💪🏾💪🏾

I cannot believe this track! I was born in 1980 and this song was done in 1972 some 47 years ago and still rocks! This Fela Kuti song is the torch bearer of Afro jazz. Beautiful song eternally in our ears

Baba na Baba 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 the only truthful man in Nigeria 😢 continue to rest in the lord Jesus Christ Amen 🙏😭

Cameroonian here all the way from Dallas-USA.... can't get enough of this. OMG this is REAL music that makes 14 minutes feel like 4 minutes. Long Live the F.R. of Nigeria !!!

Great music never goes stale. Like old wine, the older it gets, the sweeter!

That tenor saxophone solo by the late Ugo Chico Okwechime was a banger

Death is at its weakest when faced with this level of spiritual greatness, because Fela continues to live and inspire. Fela is us.

fela was ahead of his time and thats why Nigerian politicians, military and police could not understand him. First heard this song 1979 kitwe chimwemwe Zambia. still playing it in 2017. love sound of those elephants (trumpets).

All the way from South Africa, KZN rural. I was introduced to Fela's music by a Zimbabwean friend of mine. Nigeria 🇳🇬 you should be proud, this man inspired a generation. Shout out to the legendary 🙌🏿 🙏🏿 👊🏿💪🏿

Fela was blessed with great drummers, great bass players, great women backers....but we are all blessed by him.

This album ,SHAKARA" was how the love of Afro Beat started.

I'm a typical African woman and proud of my heritage.

I'm from Kenya and I have always loved this song....it's 46 years since it was released....still this good in 2018

Fela was so powerful, they couldn't contain him. His music spoke to the oppressed, inspired and the awakened. l love Fela and his music!

My father died in 2013 and i found a DC of Fela. After listening, i understand now why my father was a fan . Great music, great artist

I remember when my dad first brought this album home. I had it on repeat when he was out and I was supposed to be doing homework. He had it on repeat when he was home. He's long passed and I have it in my possession. It's still on repeat. From the mother and father of Afrobeat... Fela Kuti. Thank you 2 both of my warrior fathers for this timeless gift.✊🏾✊🏾

True artistic genius. He really was the real deal. This music will live on forever because it has meaning and feeling in its DNA. Brilliant stuff.

Haaa seventies Africa was legendary Fela kuti. Manu dibango, Salif Keita Dr Nico kasanda Victor Olaiya, Osibisa, grand kalle, Hugh Masekela, Franco luambo, Miriam Makeba, Tabuley Rochereau, Africando, The list goes one. Timeless classics, organic at best ❤️❤️🎶👍🏿let's celebrate our legends

For me, this is freedom fighter who should be listened to forever.

Spirit of afrobeat will transcend generations

How can these Nigerian presidents be so cruel to felakuti who exposed the wrong things they did. Even to the extent of neutralizing his mother. Thunder fire on their souls.

Absolutely brilliant...still a masterpiece in 2023

This song came out when i was 20. I am 65. Lucky il found it. Great song.

As a kid, I used to find his music so boring. Until I grew up to understand the LYRICS. I love Fela Kuti. He's still I and my uncle's favorite 🖤🖤🖤

Till this day I still haven't found the better musician...

Fela Kuti - Lady Lyrics If you call am woman African woman no go 'gree She go say, she go say, "I be lady, oh" She go say, "I be lady, oh" She go say, "I be lady" She go say, "I no be woman" She go say, "Market woman na woman" She go say, "I be lady" I want tell you about lady I want tell you about lady I want tell you about lady She go say him equal to man She go say him get power like man She go say anything man do himself fit do I never tell you finish I never tell you finish I never tell you finish I never tell you finish I never tell you She go want take cigar before anybody She go want make you open door for am She go want make man wash plate For am, for kitchen She want salute man She go, sit down for chair She want salute man She go, sit down for chair She want sit down For table before anybody She want sit down For table before anybody She want a piece of meat Before anybody She want a piece of meat Before anybody Call am for dance She go dance lady dance Call am for dance She go dance lady dance African woman go dance She go dance the fire dance African woman go dance She go dance the fire dance She know him man na master She go cook for am She go do anything he say But lady, no be so But lady, no be so But lady, no be so But lady, no be so Lady na master Lady na master

Fela was an innovator, a beautiful mind with a horn or a keyboard. The rest is all noise. Lady tells a beautiful story about the importance of what is in a name. I recently greeted a woman - I mean a lady - in Nigeria as M'am, and she immediately retorted that "Who is m'am?" I remembered Fela and smiled.

Nigeria Government please do something for Fela Kuti memories

It is Fela music, that l felt in love with my husband and Nigeria food. Today l still do. Thank you Fela for your music.

When i was a teenager, i used to party hard off of this in Kenya night clubs (1900 & the garden) in 1975 and i still love this jam. U GO SAY I B LADY O

This world needs more Fela's! Greetings from Germany and Turkey!

Growing up In Nigeria as a Teenager I listened to Fela with My Older Brothers, Now in my 50's I am still enjoying the songs and my Teenage Son has discovered it. I can see his children enjoying it one day. Truly everlasting.

South African fluggle horn player Hugh Masakela does a KILLER cover of this Fela classic.

This song titled Lady brings back fond memories way back in1978 when i was in high school. This song was the opening song at our variety show and the girls and boys dressed in african atire streamed into the school hall dancing. I fell in love with this song and it would play in our household. We even nicknamed my young sister Lady as she danced to it very well. Love Fela.

A fervent lesson in musical reproduction . Do not go to the studio or laboratory and jumble up some fabrication or concoction in a hurry . It would not last the test of time . Of course you have to have talent . Which is the first and paramount requisite for excellence in all branches of the arts . Since its release in 1973, when l was about 14 years old, l have been thrilled by this exilarating album, sides A and B . Now at 61 years of age, the effect still outstandingly revererberates all over my body and soul with a chilling shiver and great sensation. The sound and instrumental arrangement high in measure, sonorous rendition on the alto 🎷 solo by FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI himself, juicy rhythm guitar, and of course, deep bass, rounded up by tight percussion mix of african and standard 🥁 drum sets . Just irresistible to your feet . LADY .

Great musician. Rest In Perfect Peace Fella. We miss you. Sierra Leone and USA.

My dad was a lover of Fela music..Rip Dad 😢😢

I get goose bumps whenever I listen to this song which is almost every day! Makes me proud to be an African American!

As a cameroonian, nigerian musicians are great! But Fela is the one..Still wonder on his Skills, and how Nigeria government wont do something for his memories and give some value to the Shrine!! Go Slow as he sang! Even Macron recognize whether not in public am sure he do listen Fela's magic home... Fela Anikulapo was a Genius!! Baba Legend!

The best of all generation. Mrs KUTI be blessed for the legacy 🕺🏿🕺🏿🕺🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

Am from Kenya East Africa I remember my brother used to sing this song,I liked the English

Fela,Manu,Okousun,Dr Nico,Louga,que sais-je encore.On ne peut pas les nombres,ces sommités africaines de la musîque.Il faut simplement dire : Merci Seigneur de nous avoir donne de si bonnes choses.

This is what we call music

I used to date an Igbo dude who LOVED Fela. He introduced me to him. Thank god for that guy...

Where I live, in BCN, we still must have so much to do... It is a shame. Almost 50 years of Franco it is the reason. Bless you!

Fela is just more than a legend truly.

Respect to an African King! Love and light from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 to Naija, Africa and the world.

This entire album stayed on rotation in my home growing up in the 70s and is still on heavy rotation of my daughter, nephews and nieces in my home today. Yeah Yeah!!

I am a lady , with a dose of an African woman Mr. Fela… Rest in peace great one..

Fela was simply brilliant, a master musician, and messenger, activist, his message is so relevant today...much love from Kenya 🇰🇪

This dude made my childhood back in Enugu. His story and music is firmly woven into my existence. God blessed us with this incredible human.

Listening from Nairobi. Fela Kuti was way ahead of his time....ageless music.

Remember being at the Shrine in Lagos and being hypnotized by FELA playing live on stage and his LADIES do that dance! Great times!

The One and only One no doubt about it, being from Cameroon! Long live Fela....

Fela philosophy could have made Africa world power, best in any productive, he's a winner right from birth. Music inspiring the death soul to live again. I Love you kuti

This is what you call hot buttered African music

Currently listening from South Africa, pretoria my home .

McCartney 3 2 1 introduced me to Fela. Amazed to discover this now in 2021! Music is the best 🙌

I remind when i was 5 Y.O. i use to sang this song everytime. It was in 90s. I was in Douala Cameroon. And now i Still listen in 2018 in PARIS. I love fella and Nigeria. I am happy that in Cameroon we have both frenchspoken and englispoken people. And i pray for all my country people who suffering in north West and south ouest Cameroon. God please have a mercy.

We still have this album at home. Had it since 1973. Love me some Fela!!

Since u left us no one could wear ur shoe, continue to rest the greatest icon of our time. The prophet.

I remember Fela in University of Lagos Fela's Night at the Auditorium and it was full of fun and all my four years in school I always attend this special occasion. Music missed with punch lines from his fantastic wits

One of the most beautiful song ever done. Fela transcends into the trusthfullness of his lyrics. Réal trip to our higher consciouness.

From cameroon this song is superb

Masterpiece from a wonderful soul ever graced the African scene!!!

This is love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪 I love Fela's work, he was gifted.

So many great, fantastic songs. And it's great that his sons Femi and Seun are carrying on the tradition. This, Zombie, Coffin for Head of State, ITT, Gentleman ..... My god what a Force!!! My life has been blessed for having had a chance to listen to him. God bless you, Fela.

Hello. I 1st started getting hip to Mr. Fela through my dear sister from California. At 1st I was shocked by his lyrics and musical style. But as I got listening I began to get more and more out of what he's still saying today through his musical works and activism and through that of Mr. Fela, Jr's. musical works and activism. I wish all here and in Fela Kuti Music World well. ✌💖

There can never be another FELA,let's celebrate this great iconic personality by subscribing and listening to his philosophical and satirical music that will outlive generations. His prophetic YABUS is what my country is experiencing now as a passing phase, I salute his vision

Back in 2021 to enjoy this legendary artist. Yeah yeah! 😀. Those guitars....oh my gosh! 😀 🎵🎶📣

Fela continues to be one of the great influence of African Music.

The Black President is right up there with any great who created superb music....love you Fela

Fela Kuti was an African artist immensed in his passion & a bravado who spoke his mind. RIP Fela.
