Reverend Father Godfrey Nzamujo founded the Songhai Center in 1985 in Porto Novo, with the aim of training young 'barefoot' engineers who once established, would educate their communities on sustainable systems of agriculture. "The inability to produce goods and services to meet our basic needs causes us to export wealth and import poverty" he says, as he shares deep insight into Songhai's integrated agro-production system.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

No ano de 1881, em Salvador -- BA, nasce Manuel Bernardino da Paixão. Em 1919, Bernardino iniciou-se na Nação do Kongo, pelas mãos do Muxikongo (designação das pessoas naturais do Kongo), Manuel Nkosi, sacerdote iniciado na África. Com o passar do tempo, Bernardino já muito famoso, fundou o Inzo Manzo Bandukenké (Bate-Folha), situado na Mata Escura, em Salvador, Bahia. Por volta de 1938, o primeiro filho da casa, João Correia de Mello, o João Lessenge (Lessengue), mudou-se para o Rio de Janeiro, em Anchieta, local onde o terreiro se encontra nos dias de hoje.
Este álbum, feito em parceria com diversos órgãos públicos, é um trabalho primoroso de reunião de 46 cantigas, três para cada Nkisi (leia inquice), interpretadas por Mam'etu Mabeji (mametu é a mãe de santo). Os Nkisi, na cultura bantu, correspondem aos Orixás da cultura iorubá. Essa correspondência é apenas semelhança, não são nomes diferentes para uma mesma coisa. Os Nkisi tem origens e cultos diferentes, embora muito das culturas se misture. Só para citar algumas dessas relações, umas quase idênticas, outras que só lembram de longe: Pambunjila (Exu), Nkosi (Ogum), Nzazi (Xangô), Hongolo (Oxumaré), Dandaluna (Oxum), Lembá (Oxalá).

North Africa, bordering the Mediterrean Sea, Red Sea and Atlantic Ocean, is home to the country Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Sudan. It's unique culture and societies a blend of Amazigh, Arab and African has led many people to assume that North Africa is seperate or a world apart from the rest of Africa. Despite its connection to the wider Mediterrean trade and Europe's attempt to take North Africa out of the continent, the region is still part of Africa. Culture, history and trade attests to the region's complexity.
