He left millions of us shedding uncontrollable tears and lamenting in deep and inconsolable sorrow 14 years ago on this day. Unquestionably one of the greatest and finest creation of Almighty God. He diagnosed the realistic truth of Africa's social-political condition decades before our Harvard and other Ivy league Doctorates even smelt the polluting aroma of it. The irreplaceable and indomitable Africa's only true and authentic PRESIDENT FOR LIFE...even at death....FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI. He lives on in his music, his pioneering advocacy for justice and equality on behalf of scores of millions of Africa's downtrodden, his trademark demeanor for fearlessly telling it like it is, his knack for sticking it to irresponsible leaders in power, his furious war against corruption and imperialism, and most of all, he lives on in the hearts of all true freedom and justice seeking people all over the world. God bless your soul Mr. President.
MONDAY MIDNITE-1897
From the campaign for the return of Benin's looted artifacts by British invaders in 1897 to the no-holds-barred condemnation of Nigeria's corrupt past and present leaders in tracks like PISSY PISSY, AZZHOLEZ ROCK and BRING BACK THE MONEY, this 1897 album is loaded with thought-provoking and inspiration songs. A click on the image will direct you to an online store where you can purchase the album or songs from the album.

REMEMBERING ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER...FELA KUTI
He left millions of us shedding uncontrollable tears and lamenting in deep and inconsolable sorrow 14 years ago on this day. Unquestionably one of the greatest and finest creation of Almighty God. He diagnosed the realistic truth of Africa's social-political condition decades before our Harvard and other Ivy league Doctorates even smelt the polluting aroma of it. The irreplaceable and indomitable Africa's only true and authentic PRESIDENT FOR LIFE...even at death....FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI. He lives on in his music, his pioneering advocacy for justice and equality on behalf of scores of millions of Africa's downtrodden, his trademark demeanor for fearlessly telling it like it is, his knack for sticking it to irresponsible leaders in power, his furious war against corruption and imperialism, and most of all, he lives on in the hearts of all true freedom and justice seeking people all over the world. God bless your soul Mr. President.
