She go say, she go say, "I be lady, oh"
Everybody say "Yeah Yeah" (y)

Speaking as a 26 year old white boy in Kentucky, true music like this sails over the false walls that separate us. Truly, the fierceness of the spirit has been lost, my friends. Thank you for this sanctuary.

Don’t ask if anyone is here in 2024, we never left 🤝🏽🙌🏽

[gabrielatilola]

The first Yoruba person to actually challenge Nigerian government without seeking foreign supports or running away. O seun omo Akin!!!

[waleaggie]

Who's still enjoying this masterpiece in 2020? They don't make them like Fela Kuti any more!!!

[musantsodi]

Long live Fela Kutism, freedom fighter and an independent mind.

I'm a South African boy from the Zulu clan who just found out about the Legendary Fela Kuti and I have to say, he probably has to be the best musician ever. He managed to touch hearts with his sound under horrifying times. He still touches my heart and I'm only 22 years of age. His music is something I will be proud to passing on to my children. May his soul rest in power

[VirtuousOyinda]

As an African woman, Fela made me proud! I'm a WOMAN!

[Bakur_]

Nigerian legend proud to be Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

[aboveandbeyondfamily]

Missing my dad who died 20 years ago, this was the music he loved and played in our home!

[Mrinvestor]

South Africa used to use this music to heal in the apartheid era Jazzercise instruments was the thing😢😂

[WeinerMazire-yttm]

Shout out to those still listening to Fela in 2023

[itumelengmokwena]

I'm a south african man who has been raised constantly being exposed to fela. I will forever cherish his music ❤️🇿🇦🎶🙏2020

[edwardgrant]

How can these Nigerian presidents be so cruel to felakuti who exposed the wrong things they did. Even to the extent of neutralizing his mother. Thunder fire on their souls.

[lugwetunje]

Am from Kenya East Africa I remember my brother used to sing this song, I liked the English

[CFR]

I am from Bosnia, who cares, it is 2020. who cares. Do I feel this? Yes! That’s why I am here.

[ruthdixon]

the man who invented the whole genre. LEGEND!!

[patriceanjenu]

It is so sad that Africans and Nigerians especially do not recognise their Legends and Heros. But we are proud to erect statues of Foreigners and name our important streets after them. While Fela is still not even given the status that befits him. Fela is still the best ambassador to have come out of Nigeria. The Nigerian youths have not forgotten and will never forget you Baba Fela Anikulapo ransomkuti because you still are a great source of inspiration and an Idol. You were there for the oppressed and down troden, that is still going on today in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. One day, we will name our best after you. Continue to rest in peace.

[texashighered]

This song cemented fela as an unapologetic African man.

[xsamurai]

This song has me so emotional because I can imagine during his time with so much British influence how African women would have tried acting white and how Africans in general look down on their culture till today. I’m glad he spoke against it
