African Cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo (Fu-Kiau) Chp 3 #wearereading African Philosophy.

Bunseki Fu-Kiau, Ph.D. is one of the great scholars of the African religion, and the leading authority on the Bantu-Kongo civilization. He is also a genuine practitioner of the Kongo spiritual tradition. He is initiated into the three "secret societies" Lemba, Khimba and Kimpasi. Lemba is the foundation for several African based religious practices including Palo Mayombe (Cuba), Vodou Petro (Haiti) and Candomble Angola (Brasil). African cosmology of the Bantu-Kongo explores the Bantu-Kongo religious and philosophical teachings, as well as concepts of law and crime. It connects the reader with one of the most ancient and powerful spiritual traditions-explore "seven-direction walk" of our origin and links to society, nature and the universe.

Description:
“Through its inside, personal and genuine view on the movement the documentary aims to inspire people worldwide on a more sustainable lifestyle embedded in the context of Rastafari.”

The documentary film “Rastafari as a sustainable Lifestyle: Messages from Jamaica” aims to show an in-depth inside view on how the philosophy of Rastafari offers a sustainable lifestyle. The need for a sustainable lifestyle is as global as the movement’s principles of “equal rights and justice for all”. Due to the movement’s global spread (particularly through Reggae) and influence (particularly on Africa and marginalized people), there is a lot of potential in convincing more and more people to live more sustainable and to educate them about sustainability.
The film tries in every aspect to be of anthropological nature: At no time, ‘outside’ voices on Rastafari about Rastafari can be heard. Instead, only the inside perspectives from people of the movement are expressed. Also, the film is inspired by Rastafari, and therefore it is supposed to not only entertain, but educate! It therefore merges into a piece of ‘EDUtainment’. The educational part about the need for a sustainable lifestyle gets highlighted through the only non-Rastafari character in the film, Dr. Kevon Rhiney (Geography Department, UWI), who is educating the audience about climate change, it’s drivers, possible projections and behaviors of a more sustainable lifestyle. This lays the foundation for anyone not aware of the seriousness of climate change and the urgent need for people to live more sustainable.
The choice of the rest of the characters in the movie tries to reflect the diversity of the Rastafari movement regarding social background, age and occupation: Amongst others the Social Entrepreneur specialist Dr. Kadamawe Knife (39), Kemetic Yoga teacher Iyabinghi Ashanti Tafari (50), music producer Jamal Layne (23), and Singer Kiddus I (68) all have an urgent concern about mother earth and the future of humanity. Throughout the movie the Rastafari characters ‘reason’ on nature, community, ‘Livity’ - approach to work and life - and the current wrongs of Babylon. At the same time they stand as specific examples of people who live in harmony with nature and who develop sustainable businesses ideas and concepts. By teaching ‘peace, love, and unity’, Rastafari promotes the unification of all people to work together for a balanced world.

An impresario in the broadest and most creative sense of the word, Quincy Jones' career has encompassed the roles of composer, record producer, artist, film producer, arranger, conductor, instrumentalist, TV producer, record company executive, magazine founder and multi-media entrepreneur. As a master inventor of musical hybrids, he has shuffled pop, soul, hip-hop, jazz, classical, African and Brazilian music into many dazzling fusions, traversing virtually every medium, including records, live performance, movies and television.
Celebrating more than 50 years performing and being involved in music, Quincy's creative magic has spanned over six decades, beginning with the music of the post-swing era and continuing through today's high-technology, international multi-media hybrids. In the mid-50′s, he was the first popular conductor-arranger to record with a Fender bass. His theme from the hit TV series Ironside was the first synthesizer-based pop theme song. As the first black composer to be embraced by the Hollywood establishment in the 60′s, he helped refresh movie music with badly needed infusions of jazz and soul. His landmark 1989 album, Back On The Block--named "Album Of The Year" at the 1990 Grammy Awards-- brought such legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Miles Davis together with Ice T, Big Daddy Kane and Melle Mel to create the first fusion of the be bop and hip hop musical traditions; while his 1993 recording of the critically acclaimed Miles and Quincy Live At Montreux, featured Quincy conducting Miles Davis' live performance of the historic Gil Evans arrangements from the Miles Ahead, Porgy and Bess and Sketches of Spain sessions, garnered a Grammy Award for Best Large Jazz Ensemble Performance. As producer and conductor of the historic "We Are The World" recording (the best-selling single of all time) and Michael Jackson's multi-platinum solo albums, Off The Wall, Bad and Thriller (the best selling album of all time, with over 46 million copies sold), Quincy Jones stands as one of the most successful and admired creative artist/executives in the entertainment world.
