Fela Kuti Men's T-Shirt

Product Information

Poor grammar, spellings, and punctuations were compounded by poor story telling skills. It is the mother of awful books! Ooops…Did I just call it that? Read to the end (but then, I advise you toss this book with a great heave!). Fela changes his last name from Ransome-Kuti to Anikulapo-Kuti (“one who carries death in his pouch”). Fela begins learning the piano, encouraged by his father, who believes studying music is an essential part of a good education. On a visit to Lagos, Fela meets Jimo Kombi Braimah, known to everyone as JK, who will become his life-long friend and confidant. If you are an employee, apply for a week’s leave. If, on the other hand, you are self-employed or an employer of labour, you will still need to set a week aside. Most importantly, make sure you are not home alone.

A comma indicates a pause between the ending of an introductory word, phrase, or clause, and the beginning of the main part of the sentence. That’s French to Idowu. Also, if you want to read Fela’s last interview where the Abami Eda said… and also said… LOL! My friend, go and buy your copy! Fela and his political party Movement Of The People are banned from contesting Nigeria’s presidential election. As Stephen King famously remarked on book openings, the front cover of this book also says: “Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this.” And when you indeed enter its world, you are not disappointed.Of the lot, Arrest the Music! Fela and his Rebel Art and Politics by Tejumola Olaniyan, is the most aesthetic! That may excuse the overflowing commas as well as the poor spelling, grammar, tenses, punctuations, and the juxtapositions of American and English words that litter this “would have been great” book on the Abami Eda. Fela leaves Abeokuta for London. His parents had hoped he would study to become a doctor but Fela is determined to continue with music. In an unprecedentedly brutal assault, 1,000 soldiers batter their way into Kalakuta and raze it to the ground. Who else can write credibly about Fela than a man who knew him from the start of his career to the end of his life? This memoir, published in 2016, is replete with anecdotes that can never be found in any book on the subject.

With no international record deal and an economic recession gripping Nigeria, this is a difficult year for Fela.But then, the author has stayed in France for so many years that one can assume he wrote this book in French and used an online software to translate it to English. Olufela Olusegun Oludoton Ransome-Kuti - Fela - is born on 15 October in Abeokuta, a town fifty miles north of Lagos. First published in 2004, this lively study on the Abami Eda looks at the context, lyrics, instrumentation, visual art and people through which the music maestro produced his music. Fela is wrongfully jailed for three days giving him material for future albums, Alagbon Close and Expensive Shit.
