http://www.okayplayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/finding-fela-hue.jpg Inspired by watching last years documentary "Finding Fela" (which is streaming on Netflix btw), I slowly started listening to his entire discography and was really enticed to bring his songs to RS and because the parts of the rhythm section are really easy to transcribe, I thought I'd work out all of his songs eventually. I am starting out with bass transcriptions because I'm most comfortable with that but I plan on adding guitars and vocals at a later point. Anyone who's interested in helping can provide transcriptions for the guitar parts (either as a simple ASCII or a GP file) or txt files of the lyrics, created with the Ultrastar Song Editor. I'd appreciate any help I can get. :D Discography: Fela’s London Scene (1971) J’Ehin J’Ehin 7:26Egbe Mi O 13:15Who’re You? 9:30Buy Africa 5:50Fight To Finish! 7:25 Live!
