can you dig it? M.O.P. is resurfacing and acquiring new forms and shapes. Probably, back in the days, FELA was too much ahead of his times. Possibly, the world is ready - right now - to embrace Baba Fela message. I guess the Jasmine Revolution is clearing the way.

Frente a los peligros que afrontan nuestras sociedades interdependientes es tiempo de acción, de participación, de no resignarse. Es tiempo de movilizarse, de dejar de ser espectadores impasibles. Corresponde a la comunidad intelectual, artística, científica y académica, pero más a los ciudadanos, asumir este nuevo compromiso. Es hora de actuar. Stéphane Hessel
