hehehe, i’ve been having the fela fever for uhmmmhhhh, 26 years now, discovered him when the black president album came out and i never stopped loving him, there really is nobody else like him, i might have some joints you don’t have yet, i mean i have bought everything i came upon from fela in all those years, the live in amsterdam album, i’ve got an african press album called perambulator and more, just send me a mail and i’ll be happy to send you what i have, always happy to help out a fellow fela lover!!! loved the way you wrote this piece!!!

Wooooooooooooooow! A friend of mine introduced me to Fela 192 hours, 38 minutes and 28 seconds or so since I sat down to type this post. This is a big thanks for giving me the addiction, fine sirs (and madams if any were involved). Just talking about him with friends has resulted in me seeing a DVD documentary of him and more and more music. Fantastic!

I’ve had a few people tell me I ought to listen to Fela Kuti and now, thanks to you, I can give him a whirl.

Great post – gotta love Fela. They **REALLY** need to put out a boxed set or two of albums (not compilations). I’d plunk down to get the complete collection in two or three swoops to the record store.
