1. I guess everyone else is as ignorant about Fela as I was.

2. I love Fela!!!
One of my all time favorite artists. I have only met one other white person who knew who is was, but I tell people about him all the time. Zombie is my favorite.

Afrobeat is probably my favorite particular style of non-Western music.
