So you say you love music, if so, do you know who FELA is?  I don’t mean on the general, oh I’ve heard of him sense.  I mean do you know what he stood for, what his stance was on African Pride. Black African Pride.  Last night I got into a debate with someone over broadening ones musical horizons.  My argument is, don’t dismiss or denigrate something because you are unfamiliar with it. 

 How about trying to take a moment and hear it out in it’s entirety and then if you still don’t care for it, make a VALID point from that. Just don’t tell me oh I love all music but when some different stuff comes on you want to put down an entire culture/movement.  That irks me. ICk.

Check out this documentary.  If your not a World Music fan, look at it anyway. It’s good for the SOUL. Yes-O!

His name was FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI and he was and still is THE baddest mutha!

Look for the continuation to this documentary OR ANY documentary on FELA, at your local BlockBuster. It’s well worth the trip.
