"Trouble Sleep Yanga Wake Am" comes from the 1972 album 'Roforofo Fight'. The Broken English translation of "Trouble Sleep Yanga Am" literally means: toying with a loaded gun or playing with fire. In the song, Fela sings about the limit to human endurance. It is unlike any other Fela song of the era - spacey, slow-paced, with a pretty but sorrowful top line, you could call it an Afrobeat blues ballad.

Great work with the lyrics..., Replace "waking' with "wetin" (meaning "what" pigeon english)
actaully its palava instead of palaver
@@raquellex6220 what does that mean?
@@KgwediyaMollo palava=palaver means " trouble".

Fela Anikulapo Kuti just one in a generation, he is gone and that is it.His shoes is too big and come to think of it one of his songs was played in America when Joseph Biden won the election.
Evergreen 🌲, listening tonic In avoiding quarrels or fights any day

AFROBET LEGEND OF ALL TIME RIP SIR MAN OF GREAT WISDOM AND COURAGE
A beast....revolutionary!!!! 2020!!!!
oh this is so smooth
je suis plutot surprise de ne pas voir beaucoup de commentaires francais, now, il y aura aussi le mien ... Fela est une véritable légende, il assure à tous niveaux, il met l'accent, et c'est rien de le dire, sur tout ce qui ne va pas et dessert le peuple africain, mais pas que, c'est aussi le reflet de cette société,de notre société... Et le rythme de ses morceaux, whouah, ca nous transporte littéralement... Il fait parti des personnnages que l'on est content de découvrir, si ce n'est pas déja fait....👍
Fela sings CALYPSO !!!
Why edit? Fela’s work was perfect and as he wanted it to be.
Its just to make the music shorter
..to give an idea of what it would sound like if we were listening to it on radio.
I agree that the full length tracks are life though
Edit is perfect, if u understand sound u will want all to be edited due to mastering and mixing... Digital mastering and mixing is important.
What was edited is the instrumental
Official channel doesn’t offer the full version. FELA would not bless. Please fix it.
Job 2 n
Beautiful
Thank you for the edited version, look clean and well mastered ans mixed
That for the edit so beautiful, is clean now
Ever green..💚
good one
0:23 And Yanga Yango go call and bigger trouble go come.
Abami Eda 👊
👍❤️
what this song means is that if you cause trouble, you will get trouble in the rest of your life
not really, what is saying is more like "let sleeping Dogs lie" in other words " don't make Sport with trouble for the fun of it"
@@emekaoputa4963 i think it's more or less the same, don't look for trouble and you won't get any.
@@pentangle78 u right
🎧🙏
Did Burna Boy sample the lyrics in Dangote???
Yes, I'm listening to this for the first time...and i immediately remembered Dangote by Burna
@@danielibukun5125 I recall burna boy song, you 💯 percent right!! Fella for ever and ever
🤙💟🖖

If you came here because of Seun Kuti slapped the police please like my comment!!!😂😂😂😂
Palava 🎉😂❤❤😢😮😅
This man is a thief and a hypocrite. He robbed me in front of his wife at Lagos when I tried to do business with him. Don't believe he had any morals at all.
interesting. I think people are generally more fascinated by his music than by his private life, as it happens with almost every artist.
😆 😂 😆
When was this? He passed away in 1996! Lol 😅
