This is the first episode of The Afrikan Lion Podcast, hosted by Ọnuọra Abuah — filmmaker, educator, and founder of AEA Films.

In this powerful conversation, Ọnuọra sits with Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Kambon, founder of Abibitumi, scholar, linguist, and cultural warrior. Together they discuss the reclamation of Black consciousness, the Abibitumi Abibifahodie Film Festival, and the broader movement to restore Black = African storytelling to Black = African hands.

🎬 Note: This episode was recorded prior to the Abibitumi Film Festival (Nov 28–30, 2025) but due to extended post-production and editing, it is being released now. The festival has already concluded successfully — however, its message and mission continue.

🦁 Topics include:
– The importance of African languages in liberation
– The legacy of Pan-African thinkers and educators
– The need for independent African cinema
– The philosophy behind Abibitumi
– Ọnuọra’s new film Catching a Thief
– ỌNUỌRA Menswear and creative African entrepreneurship

Syliphone
Au lendemain de la décolonisation de la Guinée, le nouveau président Sékou Touré s'affirme comme le promoteur d'une réhabilitation de l'authenticité africaine face au déni colonial des cultures colonisées. Dans une perspective d'unité nationale et panafricaine, les artistes obtiennent le statut de fonctionnaire d'état et sont encouragés par le gouvernement à composer et écrire de nouvelles chansons dans un style plus moderne tout en puisant dans le répertoire des récits historiques et des musiques ancestrales de l'aire Mandingue. Le fer de lance de cette politique n'était autre qu'un label d'état, le label Syliphone, dont les enregistrements sont de formidables témoignages du dynamisme et des richesses culturelles d'un peuple à l'aube de son indépendance qui porte au monde la voix de sa révolution.

► Bembeya Jazz National
Le Bembeya Jazz National, mosaïque des traditions guinéennes, est fondé en 1961. En gagnant aux deux premières biennales (1964 et 1966), cet orchestre, issu des groupes régionaux, est invité en tournée à Cuba et promu orchestre national en 1966. Modèle de tous les orchestres ouest-africains, il s'inspirait de la musique Mandingue réadaptée aux guitares électriques avec des rythmes évoquant la rumba zaïroise et les orchestres cubains soutenus par une section de cuivres. Son rôle est de jouer tous les rythmes du pays. Un de ses membres historiques Achken Kaba, s'en explique ainsi : "la Guinée est musicalement un résumé de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, et même au-delà. Dans le Fouta, la flûte et la vièle des Peul font le lien avec le monde arabe. Sur la Basse-Côte, on retrouve les mêmes danses qu'au Libéria ou dans le sud de la Côte d'Ivoire et du Ghana, et jusqu'au Nigeria. Les Guinéens forestiers ont une alimentation, une corpulence et une culture qui les rapprochent même des Congolais."
Dans sa longue épopée jusque dans les années 90, le Bembeya a vu défiler de nombreux grands musiciens parmi lesquels son fondateur et chanteur légendaire Aboubacar Demba Camara, accompagné du guitariste non moins légendaire Sékou "Bembeya" Diabaté "Diamond fingers", puis plus tard notamment du jeune chanteur et futur star Sékouba Bambino qui est à l'honneur dans le Volume 2 : "Bembeya Jazz : Les années 80".

Lyrics:

Long time we a call pon them savior
Spiritual war, that a danger
Black like tar anuh caveman, ancestors nah par with nuh stranger
When wi full up a d powers anuh ranger
Ride a stallion like I’m Yennenga, say the Congo worth 24 trillion
Welcome to the Rich generation; Hold on!
Wha-happen to the bloody diamonds and the Coltan
Sierra Leone nuh get nuh money for the platinum
Shaka Zulu army full a bare bad man so them fi know
Them should a never dis the program
Africa for Africans that a mi slogan
Asantewaa stand up ina me like a soldier
Them have the Rasta youth stand up ina devotion
And a gwaan like say them a d better portion

Oh no no no no, we nuh Roll so no no no
Kingston to Westmoreland, a the same bad African
Oh no no no no we nuh laugh and run them jokes
Accra to London town a d same bad one.

Wu kum apem a, apem beba and if a five thousand fall, million a gather
Long time we fi gone but we still deya
Peter kya come a my land that a never never
King Shango hear the bass ina the sky and the thunder
And the Cuban a beat pon d Conga
Revolution time weh them a run go
Big Olmec head ina them jungle
Broad nose black face like me uncle
And them still a teach the pickney bout Columbus
Ask Indiana Jones him still a mumble, real dutty bungle
Minefield ina the West so watch the beast and mind yuh fall
Everything a decorate like carnival, African a run them place like waterfall
Check the walls ina Benin bout China Wall.

Oh no no no no, we nuh Roll so no no no
Nairobi to Jamdung, a the same bad African
Oh no no no no we nuh laugh and run them jokes
St. Georges to Bridgetown a d same bad one.

Well spiritual, channeling the medium
Them a sing about sweetheart voice full up a Helium
Warriors a train hard for d Armageddon,
Them a run like Racers Track Club ina stadium
Ancestors speak through me , flow tight cause the ancestors
Bleed through me.

Knowledge of myself me power deep rooted
See say me a Goddess and a real truth
That’s why me pick up on the energies the universe empower me
Showers a blessings hourly them beast cannot devour me
Rebel no apology them politics nuh govern me
Lawd God know me pre like the soldiers, a Empress thing
Respect thing, love is what we’re requesting from them system
But you nago impress we with incentives
None a we nuh interested or invested no no

Oh no no no no, we nuh Roll so no no no
Europe to Africa, a the same bad African

God African - Message from Yeza

“God African” is a reminder of African greatness, natural wealth and abundance! God African is a musical reminder that the often-negative images pushed about Africa and Africans in the media and elsewhere are just a part of our social programming. This is my historical and contemporary appreciation of Africans ‘a yard and abroad’ over a 3-minute track. People of African descent need not separate themselves from continental Africans, we are often faced with similar judgments and problems.

“Bad African” as the chorus says is using lemons to make lemonade:

Owning the stereotype of ‘no good Africans’ while simultaneously showing that it is through this same “badness” that we’ve created legacies, this is a power move in my eyes. From regality to freedom from slavery and emancipation, “Bad” is always relative to who is perceiving it.

Revolution against slavery during the period of enslavement was the greatest crime, everyone should remember this. Importantly, before any of this we the “Africans” are the original faces of Wealth and civilization across the world, let this be known through “God African” I am just the messenger.
