Footage of a protest in New Delhi, India against the murder of the deposed Premier of the Congo Republic, Patrice Lumumba. About 400 people gathered outside the Belgian Embassy, and troops stood by in case of trouble. They marched by carrying placards and shouted slogans. There was also an effigy of "imperialist atrocities".

Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said in the Indian Parliament Feb 15 that his country would be prepared to send combat troops to the Congo Republic in response to a United Nations request - but only when it was convinced that they would be rightly employed for the freedom of the people and not in support of the "gangster regime" now ruling there.

Rüschlikon is a village in Switzerland with a very low tax rate and very wealthy residents. But it receives more tax revenue than it can use. This is largely thanks to one resident - Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore, whose copper mines in Zambia are not generating a large bounty tax revenue for the Zambians. Zambia has the 3rd largest copper reserves in the world, but 60% of the population live on less than $1 a day and 80% are unemployed. Based on original research into public documents, STEALING AFRICA is an investigative story of global trade and political corruption where money and natural resources only flow one way, and in the meantime poverty becomes harder to escape.

"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.

---Francais---
"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.
