Here is an excerpt:
One of the most famous, international Yoruba icons in history is Fela Kuti. Fela is well known for his keen and creative sense of music and his strong, bold political views and actions. Fela Kuti was a multi-instrumentalist, composer and musician; a human rights activist, pioneer of afro-beat, and was politically orthodox. Although many people knew him as Fela Kuti, his full name was Olufela Olusegun Oludotun Ransome-Kuti. In the Yoruba culture it is very common that names have meaning, even as a prayer. The following are the meaning of the names of Fela: Olufela- God expands wealth; Olusegun- God is victorious; Oludotun- God becomes new.
