    As someone who grew up with Fela's Afrobeat Vibes, a Regular at the Shrine who had the Honour to conduct an Exclusive TV Interview with the Legend himself...I have to give your Band High Royal Salute and Massive KUDOS for a most Beautiful Rendition of 'Opposite People' 🙌🏾👑👑🙌🏾...Oh Wow, I can hear Abami himself saying "Everybody Say Yeah Yeah!" from the Great Beyond! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💃🏽🕺🏾🎼😊🤘🏾😎🎵...

      Massive thank you, it's unreal for us that someone who has experienced Fela's afrobeat in real life appreciates our interpretation. It means a lot to us!! Question: Do you know if there are videos of Fela and Africa 70 somewhere? (Apart from the live in Berlin and some black and white excerpts)

    Opposite People was one of Fela's greats and one of the complex grooves for any drummer. The drummer here did justice to it. Kudos team. The drummer will make late Tony Allen (Fela's legendary drummer) turn in his grave.

      Our drummer is a very fan of Tony! He worked a lot to adopt the exact groove! Thanks for noticing and writing it! your comment means a lot to him

    Absolutely outstanding performance of an equally sacred and groovy powerful genre piece--one that ALWAYS needs revisited, explored, adapted, and performed. Fantastic personal touches. I wish some persons realized how bafadd this truly is and how much time and effort it likely took to prepare and practice, rather than just leaving some unsolicited comment about the body of the member they personally find attractive. Anyway, ya'll killed it. Exceptional work 👉😎👉

    • @kalakuta_mentality
      @kalakuta_mentality  Год назад +1

      It was a very big job to get there, yes! We had to analyze Fela's music in depth, then rewrite the complete scores, and finally rehearse! It's a lot of fun now to do gigs and make people happy by playing Fela's afrobeat! We are very happy that at least one person realizes the work behind...

      I’m kinda fond of the gal in the orange cap, but each to his own. Bottom line, this band does great service to Fela’s original…almost as good as Newen Afrobeat.

    Really good version, and the trumpet solo was awesome! My only complaint is that they chose this song that has been played by too many bands already.

    • @kalakuta_mentality
      @kalakuta_mentality  Год назад +3

      Just because it's been played by a lot of bands doesn't mean it's not a great song :)! But stay tuned, we're playing all the best tracks from Africa 70', new videos are coming soon!
