Ep #70 - Abiodun Oyewole Part 2, poet and singer-songwriter

Ep #70 with Abiodun Oyewole Part 2, poet and singer-songwriter. Abiodun Oyewole is famous for being a fiery Black revolutionary poet and a founding member of The Last Poets, who began their outspoken career in 1968 in Harlem. They are considered by many to be the first rap group. He is also a singer-songwriter with a very distinctive voice and whose songs show his softer side. In this episode we feature his song "Sobobade" which we co-wrote together in Senegal in 2013. He also tells the story of how he spent 3 years in prison as a young person and how important that time was for his development as an artist. I have produced and co-written 2 CDs with him and performed with him many times in the US and in Senegal. This episode was first released a year ago and is Part 2. We are re-releasing it to commemorate Black History month.
