Fela Kuti equals rebel music. Something that we should all be making and/or supporting. Music is our lifeline. How many of us express our feelings through our Facebook YouTube music video posts or through the posting of lyrics from our favorite song?Fela wrote this song and delivered it in 1975. The water no get enemy message means... Water, our key to life, will never have an enemy. Even, "If water kill your child, na water you go use." Water kills your child, you're still going to use it. You cannot make an enemy of water because you need it to live. It's a political statement. How can the government take us down, kill us with all the disease and poverty they've introduced and still survive? Without us, there is nothing to have power over... something they are too vain to recognize.
Rebel music is not necessarily something of war, but of openness. Opening ones mind to different thought. That in itself is rebellious. The movement is all around us. We need to nurture it, if we are to stand a chance in the world to come.
