"Open your eyes, ears and hearts and surrender to the sights and sounds of Africa."

Great song from a great African woman, set to the pictures of a great African civilization - The people of the Surma and Mursi tribes.

Tribal Decoration of the Omo Valley - Pictures by: Hans Silvester (Africa on Lens)

The people of the Surma and Mursi tribes live in the Omo Valley of Southern Ethiopia are body painters: they paint their bodies with pigments made from the earth as an immemorial and quotidian practice mothers paint babies, children and adults paint themselves and each other in a tradition that seems unchanged for thousands of years. Their paintings range from abstract designs of circles, lines, dots and swirls, sometimes focused on specific body parts, to all-over patterns of flowers, zig-zags and fingerprints that form a dazzling array on the entire body. White, yellow, orange and ochre; the natural pigments that they use are derived from the soil and rocks of their surroundings. The tribes daily paintings are an essential expression of their lives more elemental to them than music or dance. Fascinated by the Surma and Mursi tribes painting practices and astounded by the beauty of their ephemeral art.

Silvester captures the diverse and extraordinary effects that they achieve through their ancient tradition.

This film examines the history of Africa and Ancient Africans.

Made with the direct participation of Malcolm X and narrated by Ossie Davis, this work of political cinema offers an intense, incendiary vision of black revolution across America. A forgotten masterpiece from radical filmmaker, theorist and founder of Cinéma Éngagé, Édouard de Laurot.

Suppressed in its initial release within the USA, the film went on to attain international recognition both as an artistic triumph and
as a work of authentic political acuity and power.

Blacknotes Libation: In Praise of Oshun

It means when we were kids
The words of the Nubian poet
Mohiuddin Sharif
Singing the ambassador of the Nubian musician
Hamza Alaeddin
And it tells about the nostalgia of the displacement of Nubia in northern Sudan and southern Egypt
A work of art, rewritten by the Sudanese musician Hussam Abdel Salam
And the performance of the artist Hani Abdeen and was filmed on the island of (Defi) in northern Sudan
A tribute to the spirit of the Nubian artist Hamza Aladdin
And they linked the unity of Nubia in the north and south with the Nile, with a single cultural identity
