Book Reviews of Fela: Life And Times Of An African
Book Review: You Can't Dash Me My Property
Summary: 5 Stars
As I sit back to review this book...my mind races back and forth, I'm left in a dilema of where to start from.Micheal has done justice to a legends life - Disticntly and accurately describing not only the events and lifestyle of the High preist but also giving his readers an understanding into the reason for the lyrics of Fela. The fact that Fela was a man with balanced views who had no problems of telling 'it' as he saw, means his legacy needs to be lived on - it must to be passed onto generations to come, and Micheal has done this well in this extremely well documented memoir/testimonial of a legend. This will definately go on to be a Bible for every Kalakutacian. A great resources of information for music lovers,a strong reference for nigerians and africans outside the diaspora...a fact book for Fela's inconsiderate critics.Just say Yeah,Yeah!
