    "comment": "Fight to Finish was originally released in 1971 by the Nigerian musician who sadly passed away in 1997. Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti also stood as an activist who's \"music was both a means of sympathy to allow civilians to hear that their feelings were real, as well as a plea to the Nigerian people and government to help create a change for the better.\" \n\nFela Kuti pioneered a new form of music: Afrobeat, a blend of traditional African sounds blended with those of music from western cultures. He utilizes chants and vocals that draw from African cultures as well as a blend of Western gospel and church sounds.\n\nRead the article below by Ohio State University for more information on the history of Fela Kuti: https://u.osu.edu/musicoftheworld/2023/12/17/fela-kuti-pioneering-afrobeat-and-political-movements-simultaneously/",
