By living in the USA, buying their clothes, sneakers, lap tops you are helping White people purchase bullets and bombs that they will use to threat African heads of State to let the US Military Enter and how the are killing Black civilians.

⁣Nana John Henrik Clarke on Nana Ọmọ́wálé Malcolm X

For the second consecutive year, NPR teamed up with globalFEST in January 2021 for a thrilling online music festival we call Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST: three nights, nine bands, and a world of musical traditions hosted by African pop star Angélique Kidjo. Now, we're posting all the sets from our festival as individual Tiny Desk (home) concerts.Bob Boilen | January 28, 2022Born from the rich musical and historical heritage of San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia (the first free Black town in the Americas), Kombilesa Mí fuses the traditional sounds of the community with urban pop. The band's members experiment with the instruments created by their ancestors (and introduced to them when they were young) by layering them between new sounds.Over traditional percussion, metal handmade drums of their own design, and marímbula, Kombilesa Mí rhymes and raps in Spanish and the traditional Palenquero language, a fusion of African Bantu, Portuguese, French and English. During the performance, you'll hear them call their music "RFP," which means Rap Folklórico Palenquero, a combo of cumbia, son de negro, mapalé and son palenquero. --The globalFEST staffSET LIST"I Tando Pa Palenge""I A Piyá Bó""Kumo Kusa Tá""Los Peinados""Asina Gue""Ma Nduse""Ata Uto Begá"MUSICIANSAndris Padilla Julio: vocalsKeila Regina Miranda Pérez (KR MP): vocalsAlí Fernando Navarro (MCPM): vocals, tambor alegreMartín Elias Maza: tambor llamadorKendri Cassiani: tamborasOrlys Reyes: marímbulaEdwin Valdes: maracasCREDITSProduction: Guillermo CamachoAudio: Fernando ManzurVideo: Guillermo CamachoCamera: Royman Reales MartinezSpecial thanks: Real Films Cartagena, Viviana Benitez, novaproduccionesTiny Desk Meets globalFESTTiny Desk TeamProducer: Bob BoilenVideo Producer: Maia SternAudio Mixing: Josh RogosinTiny Production Team: Bobby Carter, Kara Frame, Joshua Bryant, Sofie Hernandez-SimeonidisExecutive Producer: Keith JenkinsSenior VP, Programming: Anya GrundmannglobalFEST Artistic TeamCo-Directors: Shanta Thake, Isabel Soffer, Bill Bragin2022 Curators: Shanta Thake, Isabel Soffer, Bill Bragin, Gabrielle DavenportglobalFEST Production TeamEvent Producer: Ian ThakeProducer: THE OFFICE performing arts + film*Video Producer: Karim TabbaaSpecial ThanksThe Andrew W.
