Buy " THE BLACKEST JOY" Album https://akuanaru.lnk.to/TheBlackestJoy
WHEN THE JOY COMES-TOUR tickets: https://kj.de/artist/4684/Akua_Naru.html
"My Mother’s Daughter" is the first single release off Akua Naru’s third and forthcoming studio album "...The Blackest Joy" (Spring 2018). The song, at times dark and mystical, at others bright and full of hope, is a rich narrative of black womanhood, agency, West African spirituality, lineage, and sisterhood. With West African influences, as evidenced by the song's introduction and its additional vocals (spoken & sung completely in Mina), Naru, once again, merges genres along the black music tradition and glides effortlessly between soul, jazz, and hip-hop.
Filmed in Lome, Togo, West Africa and directed by Hamburg based artist Joachim Zunke, the video, to be continued, highlights Akua Naru, the mystic/ the traveler, and documents the marriage of her inner and outer worlds. A visual homage to black womanhood on the African continent and in the diaspora.

"My Mother's Daughter" ist die erste Single aus Akua Narus drittem Album "…The Blackest Joy", das im Frühling 2018 erscheint. Der Song ist mystisch und zugleich hell und hoffnungsvoll. Er erzählt eine Geschichte über schwarze Weiblichkeit und westafrikanische Spiritualität. Letztere spiegelt sich auch in der Musik, im Intro und den Vocals, komplett in Mina vorgetragen. Akua Naru’s Hip Hop Musik ist zeitlos und repräsentiert den Reichtum und die Schönheit afro-amerikanischer Tradition und Kultur.
Der Hamburger Regisseur Joachim Zunke hat das Video in Lomé in Togo/Westafrika gedreht. Es stellt Akua Naru als Mystikerin und Wanderin dar und lässt ihre inneren und äußeren Welten verschmelzen: eine visuelle Hommage an afrikanische Weiblichkeit in Afrika und der Diaspora.

"My Mother's Daughter" est le premier single du troisième album d'Akua Naru "... The Blackest Joy" (Printemps 2018). La chanson, tantôt sombre et mystique, tantôt brillante et pleine d'espoir, est un riche récit de féminité noire, de spiritualité d'Afrique de l'Ouest, de lignage et de fraternité. A l’origine, influencé par un chant d'Afrique de l'Ouest, comme en témoigne l'introduction de la chanson et des voix supplémentaires (parlé et chanté complètement en Mina), akua naru fusionne encore les genres de la musique traditionnelle africaine au jazz et au hip-hop. Filmée à Lomé au Togo (Afrique de l'Ouest), réalisée par Joachim Zunke, et produite par Elom 20ce et Jahëna Louisin, cette vidéo est la première d’une série. Elle met en lumière Akua Naru, le mystique / le voyageur : un hommage visuel à la féminité noire sur le continent africain et dans la diaspora.

10 Billion Barrels of Oil Discovered off Namibia's Coast | Vantage with Palki Sharma
A new oil deposit has been discovered off the coast of Namibia in southern Africa. The discovery was made by the Portuguese oil company, Galp Energia. Galp says that the deposit contains about 10 Billion barrels of oil. This adds to the earlier discoveries made by Britain's Shell, and France's Total Energies. Altogether, about 21 Billion barrels of oil have been discovered in Namibia so far, and more explorations are underway. Namibia has a chance to use these deposits to boost its economy, but that will take time. Oil production is unlikely to begin before 2029. Namibia will also have to find a way to prevent the Western energy giants from taking the lion's share of the wealth. Palki Sharma tells you more.

The religious beliefs of Israel were rooted in the shared culture of Canaan. Although it had unique attributes that differed from the Canaanites, it still found expression in shared practices and language. Some traditional practices couldn't be merged with Yahwism, but others like sacred poetry, music, and architecture were adopted and became integral to Israelite religion. The Old Testament's embrace or rejection of these elements means that Canaanite religious influences still affect us today through biblical narratives.Before the findings at Ugarit-Ras Shamra, our knowledge of Canaanite religion was minimal and largely from indirect sources. The Old Testament did mention Canaanite deities and rituals, but these were often in a negative light, making interpretations challenging. Mentions of Canaanite gods and rituals were also found in Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Phoenician writings, including the Karatepe inscriptions from 1946. However, these weren't enough to form a complete understanding. Greek historians provided accounts of Canaanite beliefs, but it was hard to distinguish authentic traditions from later additions. Excavations at places like Byblos and Megiddo gave us glimpses, but only a fragmentary picture.Now, thanks to discoveries at Ras Shamra (ancient Ugarit) in North Syria, the Canaanites tell their own story. Hundreds of clay tablets found there, written in a dialect close to Biblical Hebrew, offer rich insights. These tablets feature extensive mythological poems, records related to temple services, lists of deities and sacrifices, and details about temple workers and rituals. Additionally, artifacts linked to gods like Baal and Dagon, including temple remains and stelae, have been uncovered.It's crucial to understand that while there was a core Canaanite religious belief, local variations existed. Not every Canaanite city would have worshiped all the gods we know from the texts. Canaanite religion was more of a public affair than a personal one. Its rituals, mostly centered on ensuring fertility, were community events. Though there were individual acts of devotion, as seen in Phoenician inscriptions, the religion was mainly a communal way to connect with nature's forces. This involved practices believed to ensure continued creation and rejuvenation. The prominence of some deities in mythological writings doesn't always reflect their actual popularity among Canaanite devotees. Conversely, some gods, like Dagon, had a minimal role in myths—merely acknowledged as Baal's father—but seemed quite revered, as evidenced by a dedicated temple and two stelae in Ugarit.EL, the hebrew word for GOD, is the Supreme God and creator, and shows up as ALLAH in arabic.YHWH’s revelation is always at a mountain, whether called Sinai or Horeb, pictures the event is a volcanic eruption. As these texts show, volcanism seems to be an essential attribute typically associated with YHWH, linking him to the Craftsman Metalurgy gods I mentioned before. The account of the Sinai revelation, with its volcanic imagery, is meant to show that YHWH himself, and not simply a divine emissary, but a Demiurgic Crafstman.Some believe Mount Sinai might be one of these Arabian volcanoes, which the Israelites approached after departing Egypt. The Kenites seem to have been skilled metalworkers. Genesis 4 discusses Cain's descendant, Tubal-Cain, as a craftsman skilled in molding copper and iron. Semitic cognates of Cain hint that metallurgical activities were integral to its meaning. Hence, Cain might originally have represented the pioneering figure in metallurgy, with the Kenites—both metalworkers and smelters—as his successors. Their association with a volcanic deity like YHWH becomes clearer in this context.00:00:00 - Intro00:02:21 - Chapter 1: Canaanite Religion00:05:33 - Chapter 2: the God EL00:07:14 - Chapter 3: Divine Craftsman00:10:38 - Chapter 4: PTAH, Demiruge00:12:48 - Chapter 5: Elephantine Jews00:17:27 - Chapter 6: Yahweh, Midianite Metallurgy God00:24:59 - Chapter 7: YHWH vs. Ba'al00:32:18 - Chapter 8: Dionysian IAO00:37:54 - Chapter 9: Dionysus of the Desert00:39:57 - Chapter 10: Yahweh Inscriptions00:42:50 - Chapter 11: EL, King of the North00:45:45 - Chapter 12: Saturn, King of ELOHIM00:53:57 - Chapter 13: Old Gods - BAD00:58:00 - Chapter 14: Breasts of Gaia (2 Mountains)01:01:27 - Chapter 15: Jewish Polythesim01:03:22 - Chapter 16: Rise of Monotheism01:19:25 - Chapter 17: Demetrius Phalerius01:26:16 - OUTRO: Plutarch on 'AMEN'#gnosticinformant #judaism #documentary
In Nigeria, thousands of young people are addicted to codeine cough syrup – a medicine that’s become a street drug.
The Nigerian senate estimates that 3 million bottles of codeine syrup are drunk every day in just two states – Kano and Jigawa.
But who makes this syrup? And who sells it to Nigeria’s students?
BBC Africa Eye went undercover to investigate.
