Fela Kuti

Fela is a man of contradictions. That's what makes him so intriguing. People who love him will forgive his bad sides.

His songs often run for up to 20 minutes, and are sung in a dense, almost incomprehensible Pidgin English. His music is influenced by Christian hymns and classical music. He also includes jazz, Yoruba, and highlife with guitars and horns.
