“Music is a spiritual thing. You don’t play with music.
You play with music you will die young.
See, because when the higher forces give you gift of music…musicianship, it must be well used for the good of humanity. If you use it for your own self by deceiving the people, you will die young.”

This quote from Fela is the inspiration for my ‘Music is the Weapon’ series of mixtapes. Fela Kuti was one of the original revolutionary musicians that understood the power of music to create social change.
