Collin Powell Dances Yahoozee by Mustay(m): 6:08pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
The audience cheered as Mr Powell clambered on stage at the Royal Albert Hall in London to join Nigerian musician Olu Maintain. Still dressed in a buttoned up suit, he seemed at ease as he treated the crowds to moves from the popular African dance Yahoozee. He even took the microphone and belted out a few lyrics. Mr Powell was a guest at Africa Rising, a festival to highlight the talents and achievements of the African continent. ![]() The concert also featured pop singers Christina Aguilera and British-born soul singer Seal as well as fashion collections by Ozwald Boateng and Deola Sagoe. Before showing off his dance moves Mr Powell spoke of his belief that it is Africa's turn to experience an economic boom. He said: "I stand before you tonight as an African American. Many people have said to me you became Secretary of State of the USA, is it still necessary to say that you are an African American or that you are black, and I say yes, so that we can remind our children. "It took a lot of people struggling to bring me to this point in history. I didn't just drop out of the sky, people came from my continent in chains." Mr Powell told the audience at the Africa Rising event that a lot of wrongs have been done to the continent of Africa by Western powers faced with "an iron curtain and a bamboo curtain." But he explained that these barriers have now fallen and that "the world is being driven now by new financial forces". He said: "Asia is expanding, it created jobs for people, and Eastern Europeans are doing the same, in my continent - Latin America, it's happening also - it's now Africa's turn. ![]() "(With) all this wealth creation going on in the world, it won't happen with just wishing, it will be done with hard work. "Africa needs aid, but more than that it needs trade - it needs capital, but it has the same potential as Asia and Eastern European countries. "There's no reason a new Africa can't be created here and now." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/3198991/Colin-Powell-shows-off-his-hip-hop-dance-moves.html |
