Fela KUTI + Ginger BAKER : Afrobeat rules rolling on

This Fela KUTI song is one of the first i've heard from him around my sixteen year old. I was this kind of teenager completely involved in UK indie pop / US indie rock, already fond of noisy rock like SONIC YOUTH or MY BLOODY VALENTINE and other experiment stuff. But by the day i heard some afrobeat and discovered Fela KUTI, i've never stop to love this particular sound.

Going deeper in the Black President universe you can understand his political texts, involved against racism, discrimination, fighting against what white people did on his continent and you can guess what. And there are still many reasons to fight nowadays... Keep on fighting so.

Please have a special attention on the solo part, beginning at 2min54. One of my favourite music moments, forever.
