legend Fela explained whyhe walked off the stage moments after
clashing with security men attached to the venue of a London
concert,saying the organisers had no right to deny his fans the
opportunity to dance to hismusic.
It was unthinkable and unfair for anyone to have asked my fans to sit
down and not dance to my music. Afrobeat music is best enjoyed
standing and it wasn't fair to ask anyone to sitthrough while I
played. It kills the spirit, Seun contended.
"The action of the security menand the organisers of the showprompted
my walk out. I walked out, nobody walked me out." he added
Last week, Showtime reported that a show heralded by Seun Kuti was
disrupted after the organisers of the show and security men warned the
audience against dancing at the event.
Angered by the decision, Seun whose order to the audience to continue
dancing to his music was rebuffed walked off the stage in protest.
The event was the last night of music showcase during the New world
Nigeria event holding in Stratford London.
Due to late scheduling and no fault of his own, the renowned
saxophonist who was the headline act got on stage an hour later than
expected but was determined to fulfill his hour long set to his fans.
