When I was a small boy I use to hear his on the radio every where in Nigeria but then I don't know the meaning because I was in primary school then now that am, older I now understand, fela is a great star .
I was lucky enough to go to a Fela concert in Santa Cruz, CA in the early 80’s. Amazing music, wonderful show, fantastic dancing on stage and in the audience.
I wasn't born when our culture was duelly demonstrate. But at least watching this is my greatest pleasure and I'm feeling the original sound of what music genre is.
I was born in 1978 , in Rhodesia ,currently known as Zimbabwe.This is precisely when this concert was held in Germany🇩🇪.I’m 45 yrs old this year 2024 and truly relate to Fela Kuti , this man was a musical genius and political scientist,original Nigerian Bad Boy 😅 kudos Fela ! RIP .Your music is forever. Retweet this in the year 3000 🕺
I’m watching the King of afro beat on June 6, 2024. RIP Fela Anikulapo Kuti, our only true prophet. You came to set us free from foreign cultural interference and from internal colonizers, but we misunderstood you. Now you are resurrected in our minds forever.
I'm emeka from mbaise in imo state. In case you are watching this sensational performance of the greatest Afrobeat musician Fela in the year 2090. I watched it over and over on July 9, 2024. 😊
Today is August 28 2023 and I am still listening to the song of the greatest artiste of Africa (Nigeria) fela anikulapo don’t forget to like this in 2060 thanks
My parents grooved to Fela’s music at Kadadu Nite Club in Lagos in the 70s. My brothers and I snuck to Fela’s Shrine in the 90's to listen to gbedu. Sorrow turned into joy when I went to bury my eldest brother in London. Fela's "Water No Get Enemy" was playing as the casket was lead into the church. A die-hard fan of Abami Eda, he had it, as part of his dying wish, to listen to Fela in death. 2:20 to 2:50 is a testament that Fela’s music will always remain relevant in any society. For those struggling to understand the relevance of this great icon, start from 10:04 to 10:20. Fela can't help you if you don't get it. Anikulapo lives forever!
So sad😪. One time I was travelling on a bus and Fela's music comes on on the radio and a middle-aged woman yells at the driver to turn it off, she said Fela's music is demonic.
I happen to watch this in Lagos Nigeria,all that this man sang was like a prophecy,all come to this were one knowns that music is a message, not what there are singing now.,may his soul rest in peace.
Watching this from federal university of technology minna Nigeria on July 8th,2024 after Spain won France in Euro2024. In case you’re watching in the future just know we love you and hope peace is in the world by then.
Just like many of the instrumentalists, the singer and the audience here. In a few years to come many of us will not be on earth anymore. Follow God's way. Love yourself and others. Make sure to make a meaning out of your life while you can ..❤❤❤ this comment was made on 5th December 2023 by 1:15pm on my palor chair
I never appointed myself to be a spokesperson of anyone I'm an African stick to your Jesus, I reject with contempt your condescending attitude and your intrusion into the affairs that had nothing to do with. Fela was an Africanist who believed in our ancestors way of doing things.
Bible and church is exact opposite of real Jesus. Christianity has caused all problems especially places like Africa, Phillipines It's slavery. It's FEAR GUILT USED TO CONTROL "PROFIT"POWER ITS A BUSINESS USING JESUS NAME TO PROFIT🤮 ITS INLY FEAR GUILT OTHERWISE IT DOES NOT EXIST THIS FORM OF SLAVERY. MUSLIM JEW IS SAME. HEAVEN HELL REEL MEANING IS FEAR GUILT TO CONTROL PROFIT THATS ALL. THE STORIES ARE LIES. THE DESIGN IS TO "KEEP IN A FEAR GUILT LOOP"FROM BIRTH TO DEATH. THATS WHY THEY TRY TRAP KIDS AS YOUNG AS POSSSIBLE. ITS DESIGNED BY 10000 DIRTY OLD CHILD SEX ABUSERS Over 2000 YRS. THEY WANT ALL THE KIDS,LIKE ORPHAGES🤮SCHOOLS,Hospital ETC ETC THIS EVIL CORRUPT BUSINESS ACTING AS RELIGION CAUSES POVERTY ALL OVER EARTH. IT TARGETS POOR VUNERABLE PPL,VILLAGE,COUNTRY ETC IT CAUSE SEVERE POVERTY. ITS THE MOST EVIL FORM OF SLAVERY NO ONE GETS ANYTHING EVER. THEY JUST ALL USED SLAVES.TAKEN MONEY EACH WEEK. IN BETWEEN TSKING MONEY IS THE FEAR GUILT LOOP SEE HOW ITS DESIGNED. EARN MONEY ALL WEEK BUT IN A FEAR GUILT LOOP. SO GIVE MONEY SUNDAY. WORK OUT HOW MOCH MONET AFRICA HAS GIVEN THE THE MOST EVIL CORRUPT BUSINESS ON EARTH OVER LAST 1YR,5YR,10 yr,50yr,100 yr. How many kids starving every day. Look ppl in congo. Look at Phillipines ppl eating garbage in the slums. All brainwashed. Everyone suffers. Church doesn't help anyone.nits design is to take. If they come to help somewhere. It's because evil ways. "To gain numbers,to gain more slaves. It's all a trap. Create more puppets/slaves Nothing worse than pope,Vatican. See all that in Nigeria. Miners compensation, and a big corruption thing.catholic church act like they helped or saved. IT WAS ALL A SET UP, PLANNED BY VATICAN. ALL NEW FAKE, PAID PPL TO TALK,ACT. CAATHOLIC LAWYERS, LEADERS ALL PAID TO MAKE IT HAPPEN, ALL ACTED OUT TO FOOL AFRICA POPULATION. ALL TO GAIN NUMBERS PLANNED LING BEFORE IN EUROPE ALL THE MONEY PPL GIVE CHURCH GIES TO EUROPE. ONLY RICH PPL ARE THE EVIL PRIESTS, FAKE PREACHERS. THEY ALL PAID BY COMMISSION. GAIN MORE NUMBERS GET PAID MORE. ALL EVIL AS HELL "JOSHUA" ETC ALL TRAINED ACTORS.THEY CHOOSE LOTS LIKE THIS ALL OVER EARTH. THEY PAID TO ACT, FOOL PPL. THEY JUST EVIL BUSINESSMEN/ GANGSTERS. ALL EXACT OPPOSITE OF JESUS.NPPL SOOO STUPID TO BELIEVE ANY OF IT. ITS JUST FEAR. FEAR OF LIFE.THEY ALL TRAINED TO WASTE LIFE. PPL NEED TO WAKE UP. STOP BEING SLAVES TO THIS EVIL SYSTEM. MAFIA cartels, gangs all use fear guilt to control, profit, power. Church just trillion times worse. Ppl think religion but really it's hell on earth, pure hell. Aparteid Sth africa etc all that evil stuff, INVADERS. ITS ALL CHRISTIANITY. SAME ALL OVER EARTH. THE SPANISH FRENCH PORTUGUESE ETC INVADERS. NOTHING CHANGED. YOU STILL ALL SLAVES BUT NO NEED TO SHACKLE. THEY DO AS TOLD, TRAINED SLAVES, EVEN GIVE THE ENEMY MONEY, WORK N GIVE MONEY TO ENEMY. OBLIVIOUS
Hello to the guys who will be here 100 years from now. I’m Ekeke Chidera Patriarch. A student doctor now but soon to be the best Doctor in Nigeria. I am watching this on the 28th of June 2024 for the one thousandth time haha. Fela is a sensation, you get to know his music once and it never leaves your body, it’s really spiritual. Have a good time guys 😊🎉
so lovely that time was given to introduce those instrumentalists who make fela music so distinct and evergreen. its a way to encourage and get the best from people working behind the scene of successful projects. amazing music
In case you see this video 3000 thousand years to come, just know that I watched from Delta State warri, in my hostel in college of education warri. Kuti is a great revolutionist.
I watched this today being the 8th of May 2024. And if you are watching this you have a unique taste for music. This Man made music out if Tin Air. I liked how they introduced the band and their instrumenta Class 🎉🎉
Omo thus Oyinbo's dey enjoy ooo, see performance wey dem dey use enrich their lives. Omo I feel 50years younger listening to this concert. Thanks for uploading.
When i watch this concert, i realize how musical concerts has deteriorated in Nigeria. When shall we have a big band like this again. This is a band that is driven and backed by an ideology of political and social emancipation. Fela, Rest in peace
I saw performance of Fela Kuti & Positive Force in Sarajevo on 22 July 2023, it was marvelous!🎷🎺🥁🎸ruclips.net/video/UsCpLTENZhM/видео.htmlsi=K_EletArKi1m0eXl
Greatest of all times,(GOAT)! african ...and human pride! Thanks Africa for giving birth to such priceless gift!all what he prophetized for Africa and this world has been unfortunately come to facts! Not only a great artist but so smart , subtil and visionary person, having love and care for Africa so deeprooted in his heart!!! how can we forget you? RIP GOAT and thanks for all!
The man that brought Afro beat into the mainstream. He is a legend and always going to be because he never perform for money or material things, but the suffering Africans.
Africa need emancipation. We have suffered a lot. Thank you Fela kuti. My name is Comr. Ozone Layer. I watched this show on 9th May 2024. Incase you come across this prophetic show again in 2100, please remember and pray for Africa and Biafra
August 2024, legends never die. Activist for African mental liberation and advocate for freedom. Fela came, he saw, fought and still fighting for the Africa and her descents. His voice and ideology will always be heard. Long live Fela Kuti
In case you are watching this on the 18 October 2023 Wednesday on my bed with my lovely wife. What he said since 1978 is manifesting now. The Great legend.
Fela es lo máximo incluído q.e.d nigueria jamás tendrá un esponente como este músico inolvidable icluso hoy 24/3/24 todavía lo recuerdo co mis 62 a 63 x cumpliruy buena música Fela el único jamás olvidado x generaciones que conosen música es don donado x dios. Descansa en paz Fela
The legend, created the most organized music in history, in. Combination of both local and foreign instruments and created great harmony. Rest on legend.
Today is the 4th of June, 2024 at exactly 10:50 PM and deeply immersed in boundless musical genius of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, the man who can never die. What a talent! What a gift! What a man!
Rest in peace, Fela! So refreshing listening to this Legend today. I was privileged to have listened to one of his speeches at the University of Ife in the early 1980's.
Baba 70. Africa Legend. May God redress all our problems in Nigeria. All what Fela sang is happening now. Sleep on great singer. I play all ur album virtually every day.
There was a Baltimore Afrobeat Orchestra back in the day that recreated this vibe for a while back in the early 2000s...not on this level, of course. This is one of the greatest RUclips videos of all time.
I Always feel excited anytime i watch him make me to remember my 1st Physical Encounter with him in 1988 @ his Original African Shrine resident in Ikeja, Lagos - Nigeria . Fela Anikulapo-kuti will continue to LIVE LONG. I will Always celebrate you my HERO.
This music was before my birth but now I'm. Man watching it today on 24th March 2024 and the message communicated is still truth up to date. Fela is an Iconic legend.
I am truly blessed to have met him on several occasions and spoken to him in person when he was Brussels over four decades ago rest in peace baba Fela always ❤
Fela Ransom Kuti was a creative genius and original artist and musician. He was a brilliant musician and originator. He left us at the climax of his popularity and creativity. His brand of music remained original. Best wishes from Igonikon Jack.
Fella was the greatest of all in the whole African world, music, tradition, culture and everything you can think of. He was born before his time to show wicked arrogant leaders and rulers in the continent of Africa especially the Nigeria governments to be a model of civilization in Africa where civilization first started and exploded to the rest of the world. Thank God his son Suen Kuti had picked up his father Fella's mantle of same music tradition and continued on his father's footsteps for the project of peace equality and love for others.
Musical inpiration for the many - Super tight rhythm and horn sections. Plus, the dancers were exotically driven. Big Ups to Fela Kuti and the African 70 for an extraordinary performance.
@@2methylethel the lady dancers towards the end of the video carried an exotic feel to the performance. Even though those were his wives, story has it that Fela married to save them from persecution. Still, sort of reminded me of performing at a burlesque party many years ago.
I saw Fela Ransome Kuti & his BIG'Ol brass band in a lil’NYC club ‘90 or ‘91. Saw his son Fela jr pay tribute to his Pops, in San Francisco, 30yrs LATER 👑🪘🎷🥁🎺🎸🎹📯🎤🫱🏿🫲🏻🇳🇬
If my generation ever come across this, know that I lived on to watch this on 20th November 2023! At this time, things are very hard and only a few of us are trying to change the narrative. Be good and the gods of Africa will never stop protecting you❤
Ogbomoso man watching from Newark, New Jersey, United States 06/18/2024. Fela was absolutely incredible and indescribable. I can't believe this is 46 years ago. What a legendary man he was! Abami Eda, rest on sir!
Watching from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is 11:50pm, December 2023. What a nice way to close out 2023. Master piece, Original, Master genius. I am a fan of Fela from time immemorial. I watched you LIVE in University of Ife, Ile-Ife in 1989. Listen to your songs and music all the time. You live forever . May you never die. Everything you have said are as true or truer now than when you said and spoke about them. Great souls like you never die. I wish you are around today to witness what is happening in our country and Africa in general but I know you are watching and smiling from above. You were ahead of your time. Baba Fela.

When I was a small boy I use to hear his on the radio every where in Nigeria but then I don't know the meaning because I was in primary school then now that am, older I now understand, fela is a great star .
I was lucky enough to go to a Fela concert in Santa Cruz, CA in the early 80’s. Amazing music, wonderful show, fantastic dancing on stage and in the audience.
I also saw him on that tour, but in NYC at Madison. It was both electrifying and exciting.

My parents grooved to Fela’s music at Kadadu Nite Club in Lagos in the 70s. My brothers and I snuck to Fela’s Shrine in the 90's to listen to gbedu. Sorrow turned into joy when I went to bury my eldest brother in London. Fela's "Water No Get Enemy" was playing as the casket was lead into the church. A die-hard fan of Abami Eda, he had it, as part of his dying wish, to listen to Fela in death.
2:20 to 2:50 is a testament that Fela’s music will always remain relevant in any society. For those struggling to understand the relevance of this great icon, start from 10:04 to 10:20. Fela can't help you if you don't get it.
Anikulapo lives forever!
RIP to the Legend, what He talked about is even worst in our today's Nigeria unfortunately
So sad😪. One time I was travelling on a bus and Fela's music comes on on the radio and a middle-aged woman yells at the driver to turn it off, she said Fela's music is demonic.
A pure artistic masterpiece. A fine work of art. Fela is legendary
Oui vos mots sont trés justes!
I happen to watch this in Lagos Nigeria,all that this man sang was like a prophecy,all come to this were one knowns that music is a message, not what there are singing now.,may his soul rest in peace.
Fela Anikulapo Kuti was the greatest musician that came out from Africa. The Legend lives on
Watching this from federal university of technology minna Nigeria on July 8th,2024 after Spain won France in Euro2024. In case you’re watching in the future just know we love you and hope peace is in the world by then.
That is a LEGEND WHO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. May the dear SOUL OF FĘLA omo Mama FUNLAYO KUTI continue to rest in Peace. Amen 🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️

I'm not sure that our African ancestors will ever bestow another Fela on us. Rest well chief priest
He'll be back. Atunwa.
Our ancestors are asleep and they don't want to be bothered; leave them alone.
@@Jack-xj5dj yours not mine
PEACE& LOVE!!!
I never appointed myself to be a spokesperson of anyone I'm an African stick to your Jesus, I reject with contempt your condescending attitude and your intrusion into the affairs that had nothing to do with. Fela was an Africanist who believed in our ancestors way of doing things.
Fela is a complete entertainer. Look at how all the instrumentalists are dancing and even the singers as though they are enjoying the music.
God, if 10% Nigeria and Africa had listen and followed FELA Activicesim.
Nigeria and Africa would be a great place today and ever.
Now we have city boi as president, one day Nigeria will rise again
Bible and church is exact opposite of real Jesus. Christianity has caused all problems especially places like Africa, Phillipines

So refreshing listening to this Legend today. I was privileged to have listened to one of his speeches at the University of Ife in the early 1980's.
I saw Fela live in Lagos as a child. God bless that day my elder brother took me. A few montgs after he was arrested and later passed on.
Watching from USA

This music was before my birth but now I'm. Man watching it today on 24th March 2024 and the message communicated is still truth up to date. Fela is an Iconic legend.
I’m truly Blessed that I saw him when he came to in Los Angeles with ALL his wives. I’ve also seen both his sons perform here as well.
This is my first time ever watching Fela. I lke the music I can feel it in my soul. Right on my brother.
Same here
The same with me i really want too hear him play and understand what his sound really is all about
I saw Tony Allen about a decade ago, he was in his seventies, but his playing was incredible. Far and away the best drummer I have ever seen.
I am truly blessed to have met him on several occasions and spoken to him in person when he was Brussels over four decades ago rest in peace baba Fela always ❤
Fela Ransom Kuti was a creative genius and original
artist and musician. He was a
brilliant musician and originator. He left us at the
climax of his popularity and
creativity. His brand of music remained original. Best wishes
from Igonikon Jack.
All I can say is wow, that hypnotizing african rhythm is just much to much
Fella was the greatest of all in the whole African world, music, tradition, culture and everything you can think of. He was born before his time to show wicked arrogant leaders and rulers in the continent of Africa especially the Nigeria governments to be a model of civilization in Africa where civilization first started and exploded to the rest of the world.
Thank God his son Suen Kuti had picked up his father Fella's mantle of same music tradition and continued on his father's footsteps for the project of peace equality and love for others.
I can’t describe how much healing this is doing to my soul right now. Literal chills ‼️💯
I'm telling youuuuu
Thia is super cool and legendary
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
❤❤❤
Musical inpiration for the many - Super tight rhythm and horn sections. Plus, the dancers were exotically driven. Big Ups to Fela Kuti and the African 70 for an extraordinary performance.
What do you mean by "exotically driven"?
@@2methylethel the lady dancers towards the end of the video carried an exotic feel to the performance. Even though those were his wives, story has it that Fela married to save them from persecution. Still, sort of reminded me of performing at a burlesque party many years ago.
Watching the God of music 🎶 today 9th March 2024 in Winneba Ghana
It will never be done again, greatness only comes once in a millennium. Fela the best Africa has ever produced
One of Africa’s greatest sons. RIP Fela. Your music lives forever. Legend.
3rd February, 2024. The vision’s getting clearer.
Respect to the backing sisters, having a real good time. They vibing like some trance has captured their bodies.
starting to think he may be the best to ever do it
Pure music Legend. Ensures everyone flows with the rhythm before playing the melody ❤️
Rest well Fela Anikulapo Kuti

"MUSIC IS A SPIRITUAL THING! YOU DONT JOKE WITH IT, IF YOU DO SO YOU WOULD DIE YOUNG" - FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI.
Ogbomoso man watching from Newark, New Jersey, United States 06/18/2024. Fela was absolutely incredible and indescribable. I can't believe this is 46 years ago. What a legendary man he was! Abami Eda, rest on sir!
Ogbomoso my city❣
Watching from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. It is 11:50pm, December 2023. What a nice way to close out 2023. Master piece, Original, Master genius. I am a fan of Fela from time immemorial. I watched you LIVE in University of Ife, Ile-Ife in 1989. Listen to your songs and music all the time. You live forever . May you never die. Everything you have said are as true or truer now than when you said and spoke about them. Great souls like you never die. I wish you are around today to witness what is happening in our country and Africa in general but I know you are watching and smiling from above. You were ahead of your time. Baba Fela.
A man and a half. The greatest thing ever to come out of Africa. The Beast. F.A.K. Abami Eda.
I’m waiting this in 2024 and all I can say is fela was a prophet
lol I am also seeing this
