Post 7: Someone I'd like to meet

When I think in a kind of unreachable person that i would like to meet, a lot of people come to my head, but if i have to choose just one, i think it would be Fela Kuti. He is already dead but he stills alive in his music.
He was a Nigerian Jazz Musician who played a music style called afrobeat, this style it's a mix of jazz, funk and african rythms. His music is charged with political content, he always included in their songs slogans supporting assorted social fights, principally realted with the human rights and the liberation of opressed nations.
Fela was an excellent musician but he not had a big fame because he used to play non-comercial kind of music. For example, his songs have a duration of fifteen minutes at least and some times used a kind of singing based on questions and answers. In addition he also used to sing in different Nigerian languages, principally in Yoruba. He changed this and started to sing in english, principally for the difusion of his political and social consigns.
I really admire him because he always stayed strong with his ideas, he bear a lot of political and police repression, he was incarcerated many times just for play music.
I really appreciate the power of his music too, the rythms, the political and social consigns, the long durations songs and principally the african tribal style of it.
