Kombilesa Mí: Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST Baka Omubo 23 Views • 4 months ago

For the second consecutive year, NPR teamed up with globalFEST in January 2021 for a thrilling online music festival we call Tiny Desk Meets globalFEST: three nights, nine bands, and a world of musical traditions hosted by African pop star Angélique Kidjo. Now, we're posting all the sets from our festival as individual Tiny Desk (home) concerts.Bob Boilen | January 28, 2022Born from the rich musical and historical heritage of San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia (the first free Black town in the Americas), Kombilesa Mí fuses the traditional sounds of the community with urban pop. The band's members experiment with the instruments created by their ancestors (and introduced to them when they were young) by layering them between new sounds.Over traditional percussion, metal handmade drums of their own design, and marímbula, Kombilesa Mí rhymes and raps in Spanish and the traditional Palenquero language, a fusion of African Bantu, Portuguese, French and English. During the performance, you'll hear them call their music "RFP," which means Rap Folklórico Palenquero, a combo of cumbia, son de negro, mapalé and son palenquero. --The globalFEST staffSET LIST"I Tando Pa Palenge""I A Piyá Bó""Kumo Kusa Tá""Los Peinados""Asina Gue""Ma Nduse""Ata Uto Begá"MUSICIANSAndris Padilla Julio: vocalsKeila Regina Miranda Pérez (KR MP): vocalsAlí Fernando Navarro (MCPM): vocals, tambor alegreMartín Elias Maza: tambor llamadorKendri Cassiani: tamborasOrlys Reyes: marímbulaEdwin Valdes: maracasCREDITSProduction: Guillermo CamachoAudio: Fernando ManzurVideo: Guillermo CamachoCamera: Royman Reales MartinezSpecial thanks: Real Films Cartagena, Viviana Benitez, novaproduccionesTiny Desk Meets globalFESTTiny Desk TeamProducer: Bob BoilenVideo Producer: Maia SternAudio Mixing: Josh RogosinTiny Production Team: Bobby Carter, Kara Frame, Joshua Bryant, Sofie Hernandez-SimeonidisExecutive Producer: Keith JenkinsSenior VP, Programming: Anya GrundmannglobalFEST Artistic TeamCo-Directors: Shanta Thake, Isabel Soffer, Bill Bragin2022 Curators: Shanta Thake, Isabel Soffer, Bill Bragin, Gabrielle DavenportglobalFEST Production TeamEvent Producer: Ian ThakeProducer: THE OFFICE performing arts + film*Video Producer: Karim TabbaaSpecial ThanksThe Andrew W.

'Trump doesn't want to carry a loser(Zelenskyy)…': Jeffrey Sachs' explosive addr Yaw Ababio 59 Views • 1 year ago

Economist Jeffrey Sachs presented in the European Parliament an analysis of the role of the United States, Europe and Russia in the current geopolitical scenario. During his speech on February 19, 2025, he said that the United States could lose interest in Ukraine and recommended that Europe define an independent foreign policy. Sachs pointed out that the relationship with Washington entails risks. “Being the enemy of the United States is dangerous, but being your friend is fatal,” he said. In addition, he stressed that European stock markets have reacted with optimism before the ongoing negotiations, which suggests a possible change in the dynamics of the conflict. He also urged the Baltic States to prioritize stability in the region due to the presence of Russian-speaking communities.► Subscribe to The Economic Times for the latest video updates.

Mayotte - Island of Death | Al Jazeera World
Mayotte - Island of Death | Al Jazeera World Ambakisye-Okang Dukuzumurenyi 81 Views • 5 years ago

Against the backdrop of today's refugee crisis in the Mediterranean, another tragedy has gone almost unreported on the east coast of Africa between Mozambique and Madagascar.

Mayotte, one of the four islands in the Comoros archipelago, used to be a French Overseas Territory but now is part of France, the 101st departement of the Republic. But it is also at the centre of a crisis unfolding in the Indian Ocean. Mayotte covers almost 400 square kilometres and has a population of about 214,000, the majority of whom are Muslim. It is surrounded by coral reefs and the ancient Arab sailors whose ships often came to grief on its shores named it the "Island of Death".

Most recently, the racial tension on Mayotte boiled over resulting in anti-immigration groups deporting hundreds of Comorans from their village homes as they protested what they called "clandestine immigration".

Since visas to enter Mayotte were introduced in 1995, thousands of islanders from Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli have drowned trying to get there.

They largely travel in small boats known as kwasa-kwasa, which are prone to capsizing on the 70-kilometre journey from Anjouan to Mayotte. Reliable casualty figures are hard to come by. They are also disputed, with the governor of Anjouan once claiming that more than 50,000 had drowned since 1995. French estimates are much lower, between 7,000 and 10,000.

The Mayotte immigration problem and the discrepancy between the different death toll estimates are partly rooted in the colonial history of the archipelago. To understand why so many people see Mayotte as offering a better life and risk their lives trying to get there, we follow the stories of four men, Taher, Mohammed, Matar Yacoub and Ahmad Ibrahim, each of whom is at a different stage of that journey.

Taher heard that life was good on the island, but discovered that the reality was quite different. He arrived in Mayotte illegally and he and his family live as inconspicuously as possible to avoid deportation.

Mohammed arrived legally 20 years ago but is still waiting for his asylum application to be processed.

Matar Yacoub was detained in a holding centre in conditions that a 2008 Council of Europe human rights report described as "unacceptable". The body appealed to the French authorities to ensure that "human rights and dignity" were respected in such centres. Matar talks about overcrowded boats, rough seas and alleges that French ships deliberately flood the small kwasa-kwasa so that they sink.

Finally, Ahmad Ibrahim is planning his journey to Mayotte, desperate to provide his family with more than is on offer on Anjouan.

The French government estimates that as many as 40 percent of Mayotte's population is made up of what it calls illegal residents, referring to them as being in "une situation irreguliere". Ibrahim Aboubacar, the French MP for Mayotte, says that "foreigners" on the island are a burden on both healthcare and education facilities.

The immigrants' living conditions are undoubtedly poor. They live in fear of the French authorities and deportation and can suffer different forms of discrimination.

Taher laments that "even though we [Comorans] are one people", the people of Mayotte "don't consider us as their brothers". He says: "When some of them hear a kwasa-kwasa boat has sunk, they celebrate rather than feeling sad."

Island of Death looks at the Comoros' colonial past and why Mayotte split from the other three islands.The French presence in the archipelago goes back to 1841. The four islands became a French colony in 1912 but were granted a limited form of independence in 1961. In 1974, a referendum was held in which a majority of islanders voted for complete independence. France refused to ratify the result - so the Comoros announced unilateral independence in July 1975.

France ignored the proclamation, although five months later it did recognise the independence of Grande Comore, Anjouan and Moheli - but not Mayotte.

In February 1976, France held a second referendum on Mayotte, which voted heavily in favour of retaining its French connection. Ahmad Thabit, a diplomat and researcher, argues that the referendums were "organised, controlled and supervised" by France.

There was a coup in the independent Comoros later in 1976, followed by a counter-coup two years later carried out by French mercenaries led by the soldier of fortune, Bob Denard.

This triggered an almost 20-year period of coups and political instability on the three independent islands.

Origins of Ancient Kush with Nubia Wardford-Polk, M.A. (Bilingual Spanish & English)
Origins of Ancient Kush with Nubia Wardford-Polk, M.A. (Bilingual Spanish & English) CEADA 130 Views • 5 years ago

[ESPAÑOL]
Los orígenes de la antigua Kush
Tienes que conocer el mundo antiguo para comprender el mundo moderno. Durante años, la historia y las contribuciones de Kush a la civilización mundial fueron en gran parte tergiversadas. Los primeros arqueólogos europeos lo explicaron como un reflejo o colonia de Egipto cuando Egipto se ha explicado durante mucho tiempo como un producto del Cercano Oriente y el Mediterráneo (no de África).
El legendario Reino de Kush, la madre de las civilizaciones africanas, una cultura deslumbrante que floreció en la región conocida como Nubia (que se extiende desde el Alto Nilo hasta el Mar Rojo, lo que hoy es Egipto y Sudán) hace casi 5.000 años y rigió el mundo durante milenios. La región se convirtió en un importante centro comercial de productos del interior africano, el desierto árabe y la cuenca mediterránea. Kush pone de manifiesto el papel que desempeñaron los africanos en un mundo antiguo interconectado.
Durante mucho tiempo, los académicos eurocéntricos no concibieron que una civilización negra fuera tan avanzada. Las antiguas culturas nubias eran sofisticadas y cosmopolitas. Afortunadamente, la verdad sobre esta civilización africana está emergiendo gradualmente a medida que los restos arqueológicos sobrevivientes de Kush revelan un fascinante pueblo antiguo desconocido para el mundo. Ésta es la verdad de la historia africana y debería enseñarse en todas las escuelas. Los europeos ven la antigua Grecia simbólicamente como la madre de su civilización (que también fue influenciada por las civilizaciones africanas clásicas). Los africanos debemos ver a Kush como nuestro gran antepasado. Basándose en sus estudios, viajes, excavaciones y trabajo de campo, Nubia Wardford Polk, nos lo cuenta en "Los origenes de la antigua Kush"

NUBIA WARDFORD-POLK, M.A., Antropóloga / Científica Cultural (Arqueóloga) Nubia Wardford-Polk tiene una maestría en arqueología histórica especializada en arqueología del mundo africano, mundos históricos y prehistóricos. Su participación e investigación primaria en arqueología, antropología e investigación histórica dieron como resultado conclusiones sobre la importancia de la civilización antigua kushita / merolítica (antiguo Sudán) que es anterior a Egipto.
[ENGLISH]
The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies [CEADA] invites to the conference “Origins of Ancient Kush” presented by Nubia Wardford-Polk, M.A.
The Cycle of Conferences on African and the African Diaspora Studies has been created to disseminate Afrocentric and Pan-Africanist thought through the experiences and contributions of Africans and their descendants worldwide. It is an open and permanent space where experts in different areas of knowledge are invited. The dialogue revolves around issues of collective interest and from the Afrocentric, Pan-Africanist, and anti-colonialist perspectives.
Origins of Ancient Kush
You have to know the ancient world to understand the modern world. For years, Kush's history and contributions to world civilization were largely misrepresented. Early European archaeologists explained it as a reflection or colony of Egypt when Egypt has long been explained as a product of the Near East and the Mediterranean (not Africa).
The legendary Kingdom of Kush, the mother of African civilizations, a dazzling culture that flourished in the region known as Nubia (stretching from the Upper Nile to the Red Sea, what is now Egypt and Sudan) nearly 5,000 years ago and ruled the world for millennia. The region became an important commercial center for products from the African interior, the Arab desert, and the Mediterranean basin. Kush makes evident the role that Africans played in an interconnected ancient world.
For a long time, Eurocentric scholars did not conceive that a black civilization was so advanced. The ancient Nubian cultures were sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Fortunately, the truth about this African civilization is gradually emerging as the surviving archaeological remains of Kush reveal a fascinating ancient people unknown to the world. This is the truth of African history, and it should be taught in all schools. Europeans see ancient Greece symbolically as the mother of their civilization (which was also influenced by classical African civilizations). We Africans must see Kush as our great ancestor. Based on his studies, travel, excavations, and fieldwork, Nubia Wardford Polk tells us about it in "Origins of ancient Kush."

NUBIA WARDFORD-POLK, M.A., Anthropologist / Cultural Scientist (Archaeologist)
Nubia Wardford-Polk holds an M.A in Historical Archaeology specializing in Archaeology of the African world, Historic, and Prehistoric worlds. Her involvement and primary research in archaeology, anthropology, and historical research resulted in conclusions regarding the importance of the Ancient Kushite/Merolitic (Ancient Sudan) civilization which predates Egypt.
