So, I have had a couple of conversations with Uncle Danjuma and my Muslim Brothers at Speakers Corner recently, in which I was defending Africentric perspectives on Spirituality and the role of Islam in Afrika. During the conversation a number of Scholarly sources came up and when corrected - I said I would go back do further research, examine the sources and consider there arguments... I Have been doing so.... and I figured it would be good do a live and share some of the information.
As the title suggest, this will not be a presentation per se - more an exploration of the information provided by scholars in the fields that were discussed. Do feel free to join man if interested... links to the previous conversation on Content Over Everything are below.

Dr. Ọbádélé Kambon and Abibifahodie Asako ‘Afrikan Liberation Capoeira’ specialize in the re-africanization of Capoeira, a combat science that was developed in Angola but has since been divorced from this source, taking on a new portuguese identity. On this episode of Short Wave, we spend time with Dr. Ọbádélé Kambon, a Research Fellow at the Institute of African Studies (IAS), University of Ghana who spends his time teach the science of Capoeira, both as a potent form of self-defense and a fitness activity. He shares with us the history of African Combat sciences across the continent and how they are prioritize motion and rhythm in engineering moves and stances to defeat enemies. We also learn about the reception of Capoeira in Ghana today and how he and Abibifahodie Asako ‘Afrikan Liberation Capoeira are encouraging the practice of the science especially among young kids.
