Singer's attitude, charisma, dance moves... pure perfection *-*

[HeyWhyoh]

Brilliant ... Never seen any cover (by a non African) like this - the energy, passion and emotions poured into every bit of the production was tailored. Goosebumps all over me ... Massive well done guys - more than impressed!!!

[Bio]

I wish Fela was around to see what his music is doing in the world. Bravo guys, this is amazing!

[chisomenyioko]

OMG, this was so spirit lifting and enjoyable. You will never think this was performed by Non-Africans. Long live Fela. Let music keep uniting us all. We are just one people.

[JohnUtaka_]

For me as a black person, when i see white people or non african people enjoying our songs, feels up with happiness.

[chrisoghenetegamaloney]

Nigeria 🇳🇬 is beyond blessed seeing what our music 🎵 is capable of worldwide...

[Wavecurve]

I saw Fela perform many times, and I always felt I was watching a musical genius. This group has done a really good job

[Ilawine]

So many positive comments beyond racism (very unusual in these times) make me as happy as this music. Love the dancing too. Fela's spirit conquering the world and uniting people.

Newen is a dynamic band that brings fire to AfroBeat...big up to the lead vocals she killed it💕she is full of fire🤗🎉💐

[Indefenseoftheafricandiaspora]

As an African and fan of fela, I'm truly impressed with this band's channeling of Fela!

[babalois]

Respect when I see other cultures enjoying fela's afrobeat, one love👍🏿

[jahjahi]

something really cool & hip is happening in Chile where these young musicians have been bringing real musicianship back by discovering afrobeat roots rebellion music & incorporating it w/indigenous culture & regional concerns---quite inspiring & energetic w/the tony allen style drumming--african & latin percussion---great horn section w/killer solos---nice harmonies---& Fran Ri's awesome voice & stage presence--the best front woman currently on the scene

[theobarclayeke]

I am impressed. They gave it their own interpretation without deviating so much from the original. Just the thought of doing Fela in itself is a herculean task to undertake, and in my opinion they did justice to the song.

[Aceschap]

"MY name is Fela Anikulapo Kuti I have death In my pouch, you see they can't kill me, I can't die" Fela you are still very much alive in my soul and the world

[josemendoza]

Newen significa energía en el idioma Mapuche de los pueblos originarios del sur de Nuestraamerica. El Afrobeat viene del corazón del África. Es un concentrado de raiz cultural. Grandes Afrobeat Latinoamérica en la casa!. Desde Venezuela un abrazo!

[pinarellorider]

OMG!!!! They killed that. She put me in a trance with her singing and beautiful dancing too!

[michaeludeze]

Good job. I was lucky to see Fela Kuti's live performances. His band was big like an orchestra. It takes this many people to cover his song.

[roscodagreat]

This is lovely. The energy is very infectious. Kudos to all the band members especially the lead singer and the guy on the keyboard. They were all taken over by the spirit of African beat described by Fela as " The Underground Spiritual Game"

[afrotiloh]

They really got the picture right ...another new dimension of the afrobeat up from Senegal!!!!

[Trey]

This is incredible. The energy is just out the roof. Fela would of been proud!
