Music section
editthe music section looks like it was lifted from an autobiography or something.
it doesn't read like a dispassionate review of his music.
it needs to be changed to a less biased and no glorification of Mr Kuti's work.
wikipedia is supposed to be dispassionate, not an advert.82.9.94.243 (talk) 08:08, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
I believe the description of Mr. Kuti's work is appropriate. In my view, this section accurately depicts Kuti's impact on the landscape of Nigerian music, and particularly on the Afrobeat genre.Sankara-ture-lumumba (talk) 03:40, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Copyeditor passing by
editI excised the following paragraph, as it seems to be more appropriate for the Afrobeat article:
Afrobeat is characterized by a fairly large band with many instruments, vocals and a musical structure featuring jazzy, funky horn sections. A riff-based "endless groove" is used, in which a base rhythm of drums, shekere, muted West African-style guitar, and melodic bass guitar riffs are repeated throughout the song. Commonly, interlocking melodic riffs and rhythms are introduced one by one, building the groove bit-by-bit and layer-by-layer. The horn section then becomes prominent, introducing other riffs and main melodic themes.

Missing private life section
editI'm missing his private life section, as well as his relationship with women. I was interested in reading how he treated women. Also, it would have been good to further elaborate on his AIDS denial. 41.203.83.58 (talk) 06:06, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
Is there more information regarding his relationships and children? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ademi890 (talk • contribs) 14:59, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
