FELA SPEAKS part 3

FELA SPEAKS PART 3.
Yabbis the Pidgin-English word coined from the verb "to yap at" is the center-piece of the third part of our Fela Speaks. To those who had the opportunity to participate in the Yabbis sessions in the Africa Shrine, here is a little gift to quench your nostalgia and to those of you out there who are just discovering 'The Chief Priest' here is an introduction into the multi- faceted personality of the one called Black President. You will discover how Fela used jokes and charm to get his message across. When I say multi-faceted man, it is important to remember that Fela was of that generation that had as credo: "spare the rod and spoil the child". He was like his father a very interesting man but very strict when it came to respecting his laid-down principles - very jovial in his moods but strict and unbending when he punish you for going against his laid-down rules like he confirmed in the fist part of our video streaming.
