#Finding #Fela? Why did late Great #Fela Anikulapo Kuti use #Sandra #Smith #Isidore aka Akanke on the cover of the album Upside Down an #African #American than our African women who were female backing vocals on the Afrika 70? Juxtaposed with Johnny Just Drop. The #Kalakutans and #Young African #Pioneers are getting two different messages. The message in Upside Down talks about Kalakuta, #Nigeria and #Africa upside down not America upside down. So for an American with the American experience to sing about an African experience is to say our women are not #worthy of singing about the Idi-Oro, Moshalshi, Mushin and Babaloosa experience Will it take a #JJD like Sandra to make the experience valid? Kevwe Anikulapo Kuti a singer with the Afrika 70 and the Egypt 80 told me Lekan Babalola during my field research on the #Kalakutans a play about the people of Kalakuta said she was supposed to sing Upside Down.
