With its powerful horn-driven arrangements and the piano playing of Wole Bucknor, the group laid the foundations for what evolved into the sounds of Afro-beat.
The original lineup of Koola Lobitos was assembled in the late '50s when Kuti was a student at Trinity College of Music in London, England. By 1961, the group was one of London's most popular rhythm'n'beat bands. Returning to Nigeria, in 1963, Kuti formed a second version of the band with Tony Allen (drums), Ojo Okeji (bass), Yinka Roberts (guitar), Isaac Olasugba (saxophone), Tunde Williams and Eddie Aroyewu (trumpet), Tex Becks and Uwaifo (tenor saxophone), and Fred Lawal (guitar).
Attempting to reach a more global audience, Kuti relocated the band to the United States in 1969. Although they performed in clubs along the West Coast, the group continued to struggle financially. Upon their return to Nigeria, at the beginning of 1970, the group was renamed Fela Kuti & Afrika 70. ~ Craig Harris, All Music Guide

Translation:
My Lover,
I will do your bidding x2
My Chosen Lover
I will not do THEIR bidding
My Lover,
I will do your bidding
Please come kiss and caress me
My Chosen Lover,
I am only devoted to you
My Lover,
I am only doing your bidding...
(That's the basic drift/theme.)

Beautiful song
@bolajiadediran1428
Sure even Fela will not believe that he sang this song. This is sane music only from the maestro
@mikeibeabuchi7561
