Fela was one of ... ( 2 years ago by SoulTooSoul)

Fela was one of the greatest and most influential African artist. In fact, like Bob Marley, Fela in death has become an icon. His Afrobeat sound has been discovered by a whole new generation. Fela was full of contradictions. He was militant, sexist, political, and a visionary. His sons Femi and Seun continue to carry on the Afrobeat tradition. This play is a testimony to Fela's legacy. I had the opportunity to see Fela perform. Bill . Jones has made an iconoclast, (Fela) mainstream.

I agree I love his Music and I found out about him in 2006 when I watched a clip of the Essence awards giving a tribute to Mos Def and Dave Chapelle who started it off said that Mos taught him about Felo Kuti :)!! That's when I first heard his name and found out about him and Afrobeat on youtube. I love the show!! I wanna go see it on broadway. I hope they come to Canada as well.

"finkelsmak ", thanks for the response to "afroda3" who has spent so much time making the same comments on all videos about this broadway show.If you feel so bad about the show, could you please do something in tribute to Fela you think would be better. That will be much better than just condemning this great effort which is at least getting the word out about a great musical genius who deserved much more global recognition than he got when he was alive.
