Fela-kuti

I have heard his music many time but I never once thought until today let me look him up and boy was I blown away, how could I have gone through my life and not have know this great man
such a waste. Fela Kuti was a great musician, Nigerian multi-instrumentalist, composer, pioneer of the Afrobeat music genre, human rights activist, and political maverick.

Everyday I question my purpose on this planet why was I given this opportunity to exist. Why have I survived so many times when I should have surely died. I have always wanted to give back to say thank you for the advent of life the rare chance I had of having a life. My life much life all life is precious and sometimes we seem to forget how precious that life happens to be. We go about our lives not knowing that this very being of understanding others and the world that we exist within. This segment is very emotional and close to my heart as it deals with a positive social movement of black people the African people who I am a distant relative of with my strained mixed heritage. Here we have music that is still apparent and powerful but yet we don’t hear it much these days as it’s diluted and blocked from main stream media. Then again when you think about it, is it being blocked or are we simply not looking for it. Here in the states people are content with listening to today’s garbage music from people whose names I need not list, then again I will list a few such as lil wayne, Kanye, JayZ and countless artist who are capable of changing what we hear but are content with contributing to garbage. Nothing inspiration or uplifting and yet we wonder why we are not respected as a people, we don’t even respect ourselves. I am though proud that I am making all attempt with a few proud to change that very image it will be a gradual change but a change none the less. The Patrolling series is part of that quest, stay tuned while we reveal more episodes.
