5.0 out of 5 stars Fela - reflection of a society in dissarray, April 7, 2004

By 

A Fela Fan (NY, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Army Arrangement (Audio CD)

Fela was by no means a perfect man, but did not live his life in pretence like most Nigerian Men do. He liked women, and he made this an obvious part of his life! He was always quick to point out the soical injustice in Nigeria, and was consistent in his message throughout his life. This one Nigerian Bad boy that could not be bought! His music is a reflection of this, and even though his music is superb, raw and authentic in the ears of all (including non-nigerians), his lyrical contents may not be as clear cut unless you are aware of the Nigerian society!
FELA is the best that ever came out of that part of the world, period!

5.0 out of 5 stars Abami Eda, January 2, 2003

This review is from: Army Arrangement (Audio CD)

Excellent album. Although Fela lived his life as he wished, he was a disappointment for a lot of people in this manner But his music is truly original and reflects an ideal wished for. His criticisms of Nigerian government corruption and the orientation of corruption prominent in most Nigerians is evident in this album. The GCBoy track is absolutely wonderful if you take the patience to listen to it as opposed to skipping it for more popular tracks like Army Arrangement. FELA RIP

5.0 out of 5 stars A REFLECTION OF EXCELLENCE, September 16, 1998

Fela created and lived his life. Army arrangement is a reflection of his believe that military governance is an aberation and his disgreement with military rulers in Nigeria. The music is classical, the rythm is excellent and the total quality of the album is a combination of Fela's prowess as a saxophonist as well as an instrumentalist.
