Despite my well-laid plans and a computer error, a recent trip to New York City specifically to see Fela! on Broadway did not come to fruition. I'm still a bit salty about this, but now I can experience some of the magic that has been mesmerizing audiences by watching this clip from  The Roots' "Holiday Jam" below. In it, all seven-plus minutes of it, the cast of Fela! get it crackin'. If there was ever a question as to where the origin of the booty shake came from--not that there should have ever been--the Motherland is obviously it.
