Books I read for this video:
Fela Kuti: Kalakuta Notes
This B*tch of a life
Fela just like Ghana because of kwame Nkrumah but he didn't leart music from Ghana
The first youtuber to say something meaningful
YOU ARE THE GOAT
thank you this is great
there is an important distinction between Fela's koola lobitos sound of the 60s and his more socially and politically conscious just as there is a distinction between Afrobeat and Afrobeats ( which unfortunately the YouTube algorithm doesn't always catch )
You doing an amazing job man
💯
Gerald pino was pretty much influential at his prime, his song his used in V.O.A as a sound track.
When l showed you the origin of felas sound
You had to delete the information
Do it…the documentary. Can anyone hate Fela?
How come i have never heard of Gerado Pino. Will check him out now.
😂😂😂😂to hell with paracetamol and aboniki balm
Do not twist History. How can you say he got the name in Ghana and later went to figure out how the sound should be. Does this make sense to you?
Afrobeat is not from Nigeria 🇳🇬, Afrobeat is from Ghana 🇬🇭
You talk about that James brown music but My Ladys Frustration sounds like that "James Brown music". Dont hate on the G.O.A.T.
Very informative 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Omg i am very late 😫 😩
I'm laughing as a nigerian for your comments about not knowing what the comment section will look like that you're regretting the video already you know yourself that you just murdered the story to promote your country in the story of afrobeat as a sense of patriotism nonetheless you entertained us
We have 7 highlife sounds in Ghana and that is the roots of Afrobeat
Great video! Very entertaining… but a few small corrections:
– Fela was never sent to London to Medicine. His parents were well aware that he intended to study Music and he enrolled straight away in the Trinity College of Music
– Geraldo Pino first performed in Nigeria in 1969, not 1967
– It would be reductive to say that Fela "learned afrobeat in Ghana," of course. But there is a strong case to be made that some Ghanaian bands were playing an afrobeat-like sound before Fela, and he had expressed admiration for some of these groups like the Uhuru Dance Band and the Ramblers Dance Band
Coming from Emotion Kontrolla's channel and he mentioned you. This video is so interesting and informative.
