TBT - HEROES OF FELA KUTI


Everyone sure have someone that they either can't do without or they can't still sacrifice for anything 

Such people are seen as far more than loyalists and it will all look as if they've got no destination because they both sticked with each other. 

There is no way we will be talking about the wind instruments that we will skip the Saxophone, likewise there is no way we will talk of the sax and skip Fela Anikulapo Kuti. 

We will not speak of Fela without talking about The legendary Lekan Tajudeen Animashaun alias 'Baba Ani'

      Baba Ani left behind Fela on the sax


Baba Ani who is presently seen as an Unsung Hero of Afro-beat joined Fela Kuti's Koola Lobitos in 1965, and stayed with him until his (Fela) death in 1997. 

In the band Egypt 80, he took over the bandleader role held by ace drummer Tony Allen in Africa/Afrika 70. 

Up until 2016, he was Musical director of, the Egypt 80 Band fronted by Kuti's youngest son @RealSeunKuti

By the side, along with his life-long engagement with Fela, Baba Ani was also a full-time staff of the Lagos Island Local Govt City Hall till  retirement age.

He also stood with Fela all through his ordeal with the then Military Govt of Nigeria. 

Today, we celebrate a Living Legend called Lekan Tajudeen Animashaun alias 'Baba Ani' 
(born in 1936)
