Stay Up Chaka (History/Meaning)

Post by bryndavies »

Can anyone tell me if the Stay Up Chaka print is related to, or a nod to, Chaka Kahn? Does anyone else know what the meaning/history s behind the print? Thanks for any and all info! This print has eluded me as far as what it stands for.

I thought the hand sign was a 'shaka' and always thought the print was a reference to this guy:

But I could be totally wrong.
