Sorrow Tears And Blood from The Best Best of Fela Kuti

Fela Anikulapo Kuti was a man who made many dangerous enemies in his home country Nigeria, yet he lived fearlessly, in open defiance to the police, military and political leaders whom he enraged. He spoke truth to power, and he did so with every breath.

His adopted middle name means "he who carries death in his pouch". His credo was "Music is a weapon". His music speaks for itself, 11 years after his death.
