Harassed, beaten, tortured, jailed. Twice-born father of Afrobeat.

Champion of Nigeria. Fantastic music.

The authorities came down hard on him for his protest's against them raping Nigeria's land/stealing oil.

His son still performs, hard act to follow.

I am a fan. Heard his son on JJJ the other day too, he's very talented also.
