Fela Kuti - Yellow Fever (Edit) (Official Audio)

Listen to the edit here: felakuti.lnk.to...
More info here: www.felakuti.com
Fela deplored the fashion among African women for skin-whitening creams, an example of the post-colonial inferiority complex he believed was holding back the country's development. The song addresses the fashion much as 1973’s “Gentleman” berated African men for adopting European suits and ties. Fela explains that if you catch an “original” fever such as jaundice, you will suffer but, with luck, survive, and your symptoms will fade away. But if you catch an “artificial” (self-inflicted) fever, such as the craze for skin bleaching: “Artificial catch you… na your money go do am for you, you go pass yellow, you go catch moustache for face, you got get your double colour, your yansch go black like coal, you self go think say you dey fine (but) who say you dey fine?” Whitening creams make you look sick on the outside, says Fela, and are symptomatic of being sick inside, too.

Come on pas vibrer sur la dimension surhumaine, folklore révolte intérieure d'une soumission par l'État qui était en place...

It's weird to hear fela's voice 5 seconds after the beginning .. 😅😅

[@four2311]

@@four2311 of course, that's why i said it was weird.

[@13AustinPrince]

I like the idea of an edited version but dropping this song's horn riff, one of Fela Anikulapo's best, is a tragedy

[@ndimilaalbert6671]

FelaKuti is the real Talent, the real deal (All the way from Tanzania 🇹🇿)

[@stondaf]

I'm sure that if Fela and his mother were still alive, they would have united enough Nigerians to protest against the corrupt government.
They are needed now more than ever!

Lol the Nigerian government would shoot them again.
