Books I read for this video:

Fela Kuti: Kalakuta Notes
This B*tch of a life

@nattyroots3122

Fela just like Ghana because of kwame Nkrumah but he didn't leart music from Ghana

@Maryannaigbodesi

The first youtuber to say something meaningful

@G4ZZAA

YOU ARE THE GOAT

@G4ZZAA

thank you this is great

@WillsJazzLoft

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 )

@Yieyie.official2

You doing an amazing job man

💯

@chiefaizak

Gerald pino was pretty much influential at his prime, his song his used in V.O.A as a sound track.

@takyiakuffu-nz7ot

When l showed you the origin of felas sound
You had to delete the information

@ellenmeilee

Do it…the documentary. Can anyone hate Fela?

@samsonatunlese4212

How come i have never heard of Gerado Pino. Will check him out now.

@Tiger_brave

😂😂😂😂to hell with paracetamol and aboniki balm

@matteson9564

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?

@bistv4773

Afrobeat is not from Nigeria 🇳🇬, Afrobeat is from Ghana 🇬🇭

@tonymckinney1355

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.

@Mayah23

Very informative 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@Mayah23

Omg i am very late 😫 😩

@taofikakinyemi7417

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

@LegistubeTv

We have 7 highlife sounds in Ghana and that is the roots of Afrobeat

@oronbaba

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
