@london.hippy: Fela Kuti is Africa’s answer to Classical Music 🎥: Finding Fela (2014) When asked, “why is your music so long?”, the great Fela Kuti laughed and then replied “Look, have you ever listened to Beethoveen? Have you ever heard Bach? Did they play short music? They play what they feel. What you’re hearing is what I feel” Most of Fela’s songs last at least 10-15 minutes in length and many records reach 25-30 minutes furthermore, when played live a track could bring the vibes for 45 minutes. #Afrobeat #afrofunk #felakuti #musicdocumentary #lagos
