THE BANTU by Albert Yabo Stewart
the old African Languages. The word is still being used to denote “The People”, person or mankind in general in greater Africa. The great European upheaval on the Black Continent has caused us as a people to become lost from our true roots. My art is meant to span the gap of “Old World Mythology”, forward to life in the “New World!” Most of the people of Sub-Sahara Africa are of the Bantu persuasion. Example: The Massai, The Zulu, The Hot n Tot, The Watussi are just some examples. “I be Bantu, I live in America!” Yabo, 1991 |
