Fela Kuti (born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti; 15 October 1938 – 2 August 1997), also known as Fela Anikulapo Kuti or simply Fela, was a Nigerian multi-instrumentalist, musician, composer, pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre, human rights activist, and political maverick.
Fela was born Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti on 15 October 1938 in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria into an upper-middle-class family. His mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, was a feminist activist in the anti-colonial movement; his father, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, a Protestant minister and school principal, was the first president of the Nigeria Union of Teachers. His brothers, Beko Ransome-Kuti and Olikoye Ransome-Kuti, both medical doctors, are well known in Nigeria. Fela was a first cousin to the Nigerian writer and Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, the first African to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.
He attended the Abeokuta Grammar School in Abeokuta and later he was sent to London in 1958 to study medicine but decided to study music instead at the Trinity College of Music, the trumpet being his preferred instrument. While there, he formed the band Koola Lobitos, playing a fusion of jazz and highlife. In 1960, Fela married his first wife, Remilekun (Remi) Taylor, with whom he would have three children (Femi, Yeni, and Sola). In 1963, Fela moved back to Nigeria, re-formed Koola Lobitos and trained as a radio producer for the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation. He played for some time with Victor Olaiya and his All Stars.

The musical style of Felá is called afrobeat, a style he largely created, which is a complex fusion of Jazz, Funk, Ghanaian/Nigerian High-life, psychedelic rock, and traditional West African chants and rhythms. Afrobeat also borrows heavily from the native "tinker pan" African-style percussion that Kuti acquired while studying in Ghana with Hugh Masekela, under the ...
Faites entrer l'accusé - Liaisons fatales Le chef d'entreprise Philippe Gletty a disparu le 27 février 2012 près de Saint-Etienne. Une battue organisée près du Pilat, où sa voiture a été localisée, permet de retrouver son corps au détour d'un sentier isolé. Il a été assassiné de trois balles, dont deux dans la tête. Les gendarmes cherchent très vite l'assassin parmi les acteurs de la vie sentimentale mouvementée de la victime. Car tout son entourage a un excellent mobile. Sa femme ? Ce crime l'aurait sauvé du divorce et lui aurait permis de conserver une vie confortable en récupérant leur belle villa en construction. L'ex-mari de celle-ci ? Il aurait pu se venger en assassinant son rival. Son ex-femme ? Elle a tout perdu quand Gletty l'a quittée. Sans compter la secrétaire que Philippe Gle...

Fela Kuti interview subtitled. I made this edit for my high school students in Los Angeles. I subtitled the video so that they would clearly understand what he is saying. I first heard Fela as a young teenager and learned a lot from his songs. In this song Fela is being Sarcastic of the Democracy (new Christianity) which Europeans (U.S.A) use to justify their continued colonialism just as they are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also changed the word F--- and narrowed the image as to not show the cigarette so that I can show it in school. Thank you for all you comments
Fela Kuti was the main figure in Nigerian populair music. He has been in prison and tortured several times because of his criticism of the Nigerian government and the sell-out of African wisdom and religion, due to Evangelical and Christian missionary activities. Africans got their own Religion which is not inferior to Christianity and Islam. In his songs he criticised corruption and the exploitation of Africa by Multinationals like ITT.

Fela Anikulapo Kuti's Kalakuta and interview with Kalakutans 1987
rare fela interview edited
Foremost Afrobeat musician, Femi Kuti as never seen nor heard before, spoke about many issues in his life in an exclusive interview with Channels Television. He spoke of his marriage "My marriage didn't last because, my wife didn't listen to me I told her I loved women. I like women around me and I will not be faithful to one woman. My wife wasn't comfortable with my fame and the women in my life and that was why we had to part ways"
FELA SPEAKS The year 2010 saw the extraordinary explosion of the brand name FELA with the re-issue of his life's work and the media success of the musical from Broadway to a London theatre. With all the euphoria around FELA, one major aspect missing is the emphasis on the man and what he stood for. From reports, Bill T. Jones did a great job with the musical from an aesthetic point of view however his representation of the man has nothing to do with Fela Anikulapo-Kuti. Fela (in the musical) is portrayed as championing polygamy which was not the reason for his mass marriage, and projected as an indecisive man running to his mother for assurance and inspiration -- this also was not Fela to those of us who knew him. Without any prejudice to the on-going legal battle, I believe Bill T. ...
