He created a new musical movement, Afrobeat, using that forum to express his revolutionary political opinions against the dictatorial Nigerian government of the 1970s and 1980s. His influence helped bring a change towards democracy in Nigeria and promoted Pan Africanist politics to the world. The power and potency of Fela’s message is completely current today and is expressed in the political movements of oppressed people, embracing Fela’s music and message in their struggle for freedom. Finding Fela was directed by the Academy Award winning director, Alex Gibney. tag:trueskool.com,2016-06-29:1464587:Video:651326 2016-06-29T02:21:29.546Z Editor's Pick https://trueskool.com/profile/RentheVinylArchaeologist

All contemporary forms of black music, from funk to electronic, owe something to the irresistible groove of the Afrobeat sound that he created. He recorded more than 60 albums and spent a lifetime fighting against political corruption in his homeland of Nigeria, where the people affectionately called him their Black President.<br /> <br /> Shot in Lagos at the peak of his career in 1982, this documentary contains interviews with Fela detailing his thoughts on politics, panafricanism, music and religion, alongside unpublished versions of songs like ITT, Army Arrangement and Power Show. For all who wish to know more about an artist at the heart of African musical history, Fela Kuti: Music is the Weapon is an essential film. tag:trueskool.com,2012-03-01:1464587:Video:114354 2012-03-01T01:20:52.016Z Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist https://trueskool.com/profile/xh51jvilojur
