originally heard
via durwood's older brother
on a cassette copy...
still got it.
(that took yrs t sink in)
and since, sure
i heard a hella Fela
but man, this riff
it still
stands
out
way out
/there.
funny story: guy walks inna bar t'other night (me)
hears a groove, says to tender, "this be fela, no?"
tender grins largely, says you got this beer on me!
i din't know what the song was, but it was fela...
then he poses a challenge -- hey he says, switching
the tune to another... i just got this one on my ipod
but don't have a title for it (love it tho!): know it?
hilarious to me that it's the one fela i know best
fuck yeah i say, this is upside down. its the best!
he says yeah, its got such a groove and then them
lyrics pound you in the fucking face, ma politico...
thanks, says he. next beer's on me too. mmm.
and m nxt thought? ...why ain't this on the roxx?
Note: This is regarded as ununsual in the Kuti oeuvre
because of the guest vocals by Sandra Ankake Isidore.
She comes in at the 8:27 mark, and her lyrics kick ass.
