Greatly appreciated to be a part of this family connecting the Africa continent through music amazing amazing. I'm awsx938 and today I will be doing something deferent. And  nose diving into the root of music in Africa. You can't talk about music without talking about AFRO-BEAT 🎸 And you can't talk about AFRO-BEAT with the king of Afrobeat Fela kuti.
 Just as Michael is the king of pop Fela is the king 👑 of AFRO-BEAT which was the best that's Announced Africa music to the world.
I decided to do a cover of Water no get enemy because I love Fela kuti and grow up with his stories on how he revolutionized the Africa music 🎵  a little back ground of the song.

"Water No Get Enemy" by Fela Kuti is a powerful song that uses water as a metaphor for strength, resilience, and unity. Released in 1975 on the album "Expensive Shit," the song's inspiration stems from Fela's experiences with the Nigerian government and his desire to promote Black empowerment and social justice.
Water as a Symbol: Water represents life, strength, and unity, emphasizing its indispensable nature in daily life, from washing and cooking to healing and growth.
Resilience and Unity: The song advocates for solidarity in the face of adversity, drawing parallels between water's invincibility and the Black community's struggle for equality and justice.
Social Commentary : Fela critiques systemic oppression, using water as a symbol of resistance against forces that seek to marginalize and disenfranchise.



lyrics 
T'o ba fe lo we omi l'o ma'lo
If you wan' go wash, na water you go use
T'o ba fe se'be omi l'o ma'lo
If you want cook soup, na water you go use
T'o ri ba n'gbona o omi l'ero re
If your head dey hot, na water go cool am
T'omo ba n'dagba omi l'o ma'lo
If your child dey grow, na water he go use
If water kill your child, na water you go use
T'omi ba p'omo e o omi na lo ma'lo
Ko s'ohun to'le se k'o ma lo'mi o
Nothing without water
Ko s'ohun to'le se k'o ma lo'mi o
Omi o l'ota o
Water, him not get enemy!
Omi o l'ota o
Water, him not get enemy!
If you fight am, unless you wan die
Water, him not get enemy!
I say water no get enemy
Water, him not get enemy!
If you fight am, unless you wan die
Water, him not get enemy!
Omi o l'ota o
