Fela Kuti’s Wahala Music: Political Resistance through Song
From: Colonial Systems of Control
$2.20
Music was used as a culturally appropriate tool of political resistance by Fela Kuti in Nigeria during an era of military regimes. Within the historical and spiritual contexts of Fela’s work, the power of this tool is understood both as empowering for the people and as threatening to the state.
