Fela on the state of Nigerian music in 1968:
"Soul music took over. James Brown's music, Otis Redding took over the whole continent, man. It was beautiful music though, I must agree. I said to myself I must compete with these people. I must find a name for my music, so I gave my music "afrobeat" to give it an identity."
