BUCKET HATS; THE RENAISSANCE IS AS THE CASE OF THE ONE LEPER COMING BACK.

You can see it in Accra donned on the head of the Local ice cream man going around pushing his cart and blaring his horns.

Or in Lagos on the head of the NURTW worker hustling - chasing down Motorcycles or Tricycles to get their daily contributions.

Or you can see it on the head of your favorite alté act singing his hearts out in a music video.

Or on a couple of youths dancing in the street somewhere in the suburbs of Pretoria.


Or in Ota on the "Okada" Man who is speeding down the road, his motorcycle speakers playing something from his favorite Fuji act with reckless abandon.

What is it? - It is a Bucket Hat!
