During the early ’70s, the Nigerian government and their cronies in the police department consistently raided Fela’s communal family compound “The Kalakuta Republic”, viewing it as both a social and political threat. In 1974, the police once again invaded Fela’s compound, this time planting a joint on the artist, who promptly swallowed it, destroying any evidence of illegal activity. Fela was arrested and was held in jail until he could produce a “sample” in order for the evidence to be recovered. Due to some miraculous help from other prisoners, Fela’s “sample” came back completely clean, and he was released without charges.

The great thing about legends and their classics, you can almost find something in them no matter your day or mindset per se. They stand like waypoints in the stream of time

In Spanish, regarding such unique art creations, we sometimes say that there's "duende" (elf) present in the creation.
Duende, or elf, as a metaphor or symbol of the magic behing masterful art creations.
