The duo who spoke to Encomium magazine last week Saturday
have said, Twerking started from Africa and Fela’s dancers are known to have
done it better than Miley Cyrus. So there's no way they tried to imitate the
western world in their new video ‘silifa’.
It’s people with inferiority complex that say we are
imitating the western world. They’ve argued why couldn’t we imitate the likes
of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, or Shina Peters? As far back as the 80′s, Fela
Anikulapo Kuti’s girls used to twerk on stage better than what Miley Cyrus’s do
these days. Honestly, twerking started from Africa, it has always been part of
our dancing culture. Yorubas call it ‘Redi’. So, why are they rubbishing it?
