I grew up on James Brown, Fela, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, John Coltrane, Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Wonder, New Edition, Abbie Lincoln, Ray Charles, EWF, War, Charlie Parker, Sonny Rollins, Van Halen, Run-DMC, Rakim, KRS-One, Public Enemy, Funkadelic and...didn't discover Miriam Makeba until after I got into Hugh Masakela, looking for a bear for my man @CHINOXL to sample, which @dancharnas , by coincidence, made the same conclusion when he produced Chino's song "Rise". And there is West Africa in the DNA of song, not just the artist, but the structure (Call and Response/OV-Hoe), lyrical patterns, every aspect of us that survived middle passage and beyond. As for Chaka, she rolled with Fred Hampton, taking on her Yoruba name AFTER she joined the Panthers. She's well in touch with the African embedded within, tapped into the same movement that named Me. So, tell me something good....and something I don't know.
