+Oo Nwoye has me listening to more of my non-local music. Fela Kuti was instrumental in developing and popularizing the afrobeat sound. You can hear the influence of his sound on a lot of contemporary music. He was also a very political person with an interesting history. Look him up on Wikipedia sometime.

FUCK THA " P-O-L-I-C-E ", FUCK THE N.Y.P.D and The L.A.P.D FUCK THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE. and All the POLICE FORCES all over the world. Great song from a great man, an Icon, a man who fought and died for what he believed in. May God bless your Memory, bro. Give it up for F-E-L-A , Y'all.

You're right, the real goal is not to get papers to those who've fleed brutality and oppression. The real find would be to bring and end to this oppression, get the thiefes,oil and pharma multi (and corrupted US representatives) jailed in Den Haag! So these poeple would have the choice to stay safely home! Then, the quality of the video is real good.

This song doesn't deal with the fight of 'Sans-Papiers'. It deals with police and army oppression during people demonstrations.

Check out the 1967 album 'African Party' by Ginger Johnson & his African Messengers. One of the horns players on this album is none other than Fela, who studied with Ginger who was a Nigerian master drummer, resident in London throughout the 50s & '60s (including supplying the drums for the Stones on Sympathy for the devil at hyde park in '69) - this is possibly the first Afro-Beat album, before the 'genre' was so named.
