Demi Adejuyigbe returns once more to wish you a happy 21st of September
Ba-dee-ya, say, do you remember? Ba-dee-ya, dancing in September?
Somehow, it is once again the 21st of September. Almost an entire calendar year has gone by, flying past in a whirlwind of continuing pandemic uncertainty, a billionaire space race, and news items about some guy’s purportedly swollen balls. But now we’ve made it safely to the cool embrace of autumn’s arrival, the always-hot musical ode to today’s date that is Earth, Wind, & Fire’s “September,” and, most importantly, Demi Adejuyigbe annual celebration of the song.
After having reached the magic fundraising number that keeps Adejuyigbe forever tied to this day—this 21st night of September—he’s returned with the sixth annual video promised if the internet donated to organizations like Chicago’s BlackRoots Alliance, Street Watch LA, D.C.’s Trans United Fund, SELAH, and the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum.
The question for years now has been how Adejuyigbe can top past 21sts that have escalated steadily from a solo dance to a distorted version of “September” through to children’s choirs, fridge hangouts, mariachi bands, camouflage body suits, storage trucks decorated like bedrooms, and skywriting.
