William Onyeabor x Central Park Roller Dancers 'Fantastic Man'
In the latest William Onyeabor video, New York's Central Park roller dancers skate around to 'Fantastic Man.'
<p>In the latest chapter of <strong><a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/2013/10/23/william-onyeabor-luaka-bop-album/" target="_blank">William Onyeabor</a></strong> mania, Central Park's phenomenal <a href="http://youtu.be/WEDvT-QQHWU" target="_blank">rollerskaters</a> glide on by to the smooth and synthy sounds of Nigeria's re-released <a href="http://bit.ly/ITqxuB" target="_blank">sensation</a>. <strong>Adam Bainbridge</strong> (aka UK electro-pop's <strong>Kindness</strong>) and <strong>Camilla Wasserman</strong> were tapped to direct a retro-nodding video for the non-egotistical, ego pat "Fantastic Man," in which Onyeabor asks the love of his life to sprinkle on the compliments (but only because it's reciprocative). Look out for more from Onyeabor champions <strong><a href="http://luakabop.com/" target="_blank">Luaka Bop</a></strong> this year. In the meantime, head to the <a href="http://shop.okayplayer.com/collections/luka-bop/" target="_blank">Okayplayer Shop</a> to style yourself in <a href="http://www.okayafrica.com/2013/10/22/william-onyeabor-t-shirt-luaka-bop/" target="_blank">William Onyeabor gear</a>, and watch the bubbly-funk theme song score a New York rollerdance session below. </p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p>H/T <a href="http://www.nowness.com/day/2014/1/24/3619/william-onyeabor-fantastic-man" target="_blank">NOWNESS</a></p><p><iframe frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.nowness.com/media/embedvideo?itemid=3619&issueid=2741" width="640"></iframe></p>
