Benson Idonije is the only person I know, who can write credibly on Fela, because he was with Fela from the beginning to the end of his legendary musical career. His prodigious but unsuspected musicality endeared him to Fela to become the power behind his throne. Fela's respect and trust gave Benson access to all facets of his life. No wonder, the book, Dis Fela Sef, is so accurate, deft, authentic and authoritative. It has all the elements of an all-time best-seller. It makes for compelling reading.
