After viewing this light-emitting vid from the Black Nerds Network that BEAUTIFULLY highlights the late and most great, Fela and his love for his people, the quote below seemed to resonate with me more and more about what honest music can do for a person and subsequently, a nation.
//I remember [HE] used to sing to me, he had me feeling like black was the thing to be// -TUPAC
.:Get Lifted:.
The coveted Tupac line is not just a nod to one particular artist, but it is an artist’s very own testament as to how one artist can sharpen another; and consequently, another… and another -while simultaneously providing the world with an abundance of consistently evolving art. Thank you, Fela!
[I hope to catch the FELA! broadway production in this lifetime. lol]
