I appreciate the reply.

On a podcast recently and they talked a lot about his influence, but didn't play any music. And, when I went to look for it on YT, I didn't find the items you referenced. Thanks!

The film that is most mined for recordings is 'Fela Kuti - Music is the Weapon'.

There's an English cut and a French cut.

The French cut doesn't hide the cannabis use and you'll see people rolling spliffs and Fela taking his 'Fela Gold' 'medicine' which was something like a cannabis rosin.
