Army Arrangement

Back


In this music video, Afrobeat rebel Fela Kuti performs "Army Arrangement" in London and Lagos (at The Shrine in Okeja). His performance is beautifully intercut with images of Lagos, including military occupation and police beating. It ends with news of Fela's arrest in 1984. Fela died in 1997. Dan Dinello made this for Celluloid Records in 1985. For further information about Fela, see shockproductions.com/shockzine

Great man. He was way ahead of his time and he saw it all coming and warned but as usual they never listened.

"Proud to be human" is the synthesis of what I feel about Fela.
