"THE LAST POETS
Umar Bin Hassan and Abiodun Oyewole
Abiodun Oyewole interview
by Jason Gross and John Grady (February 1997)
Before rap knew its name, there were a group of angry young men who reflected the harsh spirit of their times and whose work remains prophetic and inspriational today. The Last Poets started out in the late sixties, speaking out as few other musical groups had (or have since) about racism, poverty and other concerns of American-Americans.

There is also written work, collections of their poems as well as new CD in the works: ON A MISSION is now out (selected poems and a history of the Poets) from Owl Books. Our thanks to Amaechi and WordLife as well as Cafe Los Negros for all of their help.

I did the piece and he said 'you want to put down the hook first or the poem.' Hook? I just got the poem. So I said 'Let me think about it.' I came up with 'rivers of our souls... poems are rivers of our souls.' So we laid the track down and he said 'That's great. OK, now go back and harmonize over that.' I had a chorus of my voices on it now. So now he said 'OK, go back and improvise over that now.' He was kicking my butt but he was very sweet, he knew I could do all of this.
It all turned out really sweet. It turned out nice and they got a great guitar player on it. It all happened very easy. It happened so easily that it showed me a goal: if I can earn enough money, then I should own my own studio. "
