{"product_id":"9782954367408","title":"Fela -Phenomenon And Legacy","description":"Some opinion out there question the right of people like me to question the kind of image being touted of Fela when I am not a member of the\u003cbr\u003eKUTI family, however Fela's answer in 1983 after my departure from his organization to the question: \"apart from your immediate family who is the person you hold in very high esteem?\" And his answer: \"Ohh! There are some young boys - heavy young boys! One is called ID! One is called\u003cbr\u003eDuro! One is called Femi-photo! These three young boys they've been with me for a long time. When they burnt my house many people left me you know! Because I didn't have bread (money), till now I still don't have enough bread! Many people left me, but these boys stayed - going on and everything! I dig them so much. And you know they read a lot of books, history books, and African political books! Economic books! African things - they are very vast in knowledge, I dig them you know! I trust them completely.\u003cbr\u003eFor now! I trust them completely!\" (FELA SPEAKS: www.radioshrine.com)\u003cbr\u003eFrom this answer, I hope people can understand where people like us are coming from. Without no pretence and no apologies, I hereby present to my readers the essence of Fela's message and struggle from a deep and authentic experience and knowledge of the man. This is a far cry from the brand name FELA, where he was portrayed as an indecisive man running to his mother for assurance and inspiration and championing polygamy. Included in this volume, a comprehensive discography of Fela, with a summary of all the songs and what message they carry. Happy Reading and Please Pass the Message!\u003cbr\u003eMabinuori Kayode IDOWU (aka ID).","brand":"Black Art Productions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034932822256,"sku":"9782954367408","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9782954367408_p0.jpg?v=1763715321","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9782954367408","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
