The Essential Fela!

The New Gong Magazine recaps on those very things that made
Fela Anikulapo-Kuti an unusual artiste.
At the Shrine

(To Fela Anikulapo-Kuti)

Pass on the reefer:
Fellowship calls.
Share the hunger:
Poverty howls.
Cut out the hauteur:
And let the song be.
At the shrine,
God is a common man,
A tramp on trumpet
Blowing past span and season
Into the marrow of time.
