inventor of afrobeat (meant to be the most powerful music ever) 77 albums, 27 wives, over 200 court appearances, died at 58 years of aids. 3 milion people on his funeral.
wow - what a man. i just listened to a few albums - rofo rofo is my favourite right now. i'm curious if i'll feel the same power in his 76 next albums :D
i really recommend everyone to listen to just a few releases of him - really a milestone in music.

you know, im pretty sure 95% people here know about kuti and his fantastic music. im pretty sure he's together with miles davis and jimi hendrix the best known black musician.
but yeah, if there's someone that doesn't know him, they should check his music out because it's just brilliant. most of it.

Apperently he was an influence on James Brown and Herbie Hancock. I've heard bits and pieces, but I could do with some recommendations.

i rock ZOMBIE on the turntables at parties and then the fucking zombies dance
Zombie is the big hit but it is all good i love Fela
here in Ann Arbor, mi we got this band called Nomo that pretends to play afrobeat and it kind of makes me sick -- damn rich white kids don't sound like a beautiful, prophetic, oppressed South African
