The taxi driver in 'agbada' at the petrol station is none other than 'Baba Ade' aka 'Emùlewù' .. dude sat beside Fela in the press conference Femi foto.. 1of Fela's Young African Pioneers.. all said characters I knew VERY WELL.. i spent an immense amount of time at Kalakuta (Fela's home) got to be a part of its inner workings, & relished EVERY MOMENT. to know Fela, was to love Fela & his people (i became 1of them) the BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. 😊 ❤ 🙏🏾
It was a great day. Glad I was there. Sometimes on different versions of videos of this event, I see myself. Bought my copy of the record that day too!
Baba Ani thanks very much for your good works with Baba Kuti and the Egypt 80 Band Thanks very much again for posting I enjoyed watching this performances at the shrine every weekend. I also enjoyed the privilege of performing at the African shrine with my band especially performing for Baba Fela 1992 on his birthday Good sweet golden memories!
Thanks egbon mi Lekan for preserving this era and chapter of Kalakuta (Fela Anikulapo Kuti's residence) in its rawness and old glory before it's now being glorified to Kalakuta Museum.
Such a lovely memory of the late elegant Fran Kuboye. I remember quite vividly her tv programmes in the early 90s. Such a beautiful soul. Rest well Mama.
He wanted to see the Revolution of Thomas Sankara first hand. Much love. Thomas Sankara was martyred on 15 October 1987. 15 th October is mine and Fela's natal journal!
The descendants of this band still work on new tunes in a rehearsal studio next to Fela's former home in Ikeja. Check out the very nice Kalakuta Museum and Hotel.
