Well, the only thing I got from him was:

Kuti married 27 women simultaneously in 1978.

I can't even get ONE.

Thanks for that. I will look more into him later.

His music was primary protests songs against the then Nigerian government ‘s corruption .

That aside, he is touted as the pioneer of Afrobeat music genre

My favorite of his would have to be Gentleman

Fwiw, British drummer Ginger Baker spent a couple years in Africa with Fela .
