QUOTE:   ""His death on August 3, 1997 of complications from AIDS 
deeply affected musicians and fans internationally, as a musical and 
sociopolitical voice on a par with Bob Marley was silenced.   A press 
release from the United Democratic Front of Nigeria on the occasion of 
Fela's death noted:   "Those who knew you well were insistent that you 
could never compromise with the evil you had fought all your life.   
Even though made weak by time and fate, you remained strong in will 
and never abandoned your goal of a free, democratic, socialist 
Africa."   This is as succinct a summation of Fela's political agenda 
as one is likely to find. ""
