La source de la rumba congolaise
La source de la rumba congolaise Kɔrɔ Naka 20 Views • 6 years ago

La ” Nkoumba ” appelée plus tard à Cuba Rumba est une danse de nombril qui prend sa source en l’Afrique Centrale, plus précisément dans le Royaume Kongo et en République Centrafricaine chez ” Mbati “, un groupe ethnique du sud ouest du pays. En ” Mbati “, tout comme en ” Moukongo “, ” Nkoumba ” désigne le nombril. Chez les “Bakongo” groupe ethnique situé au sud du Congo Démocratique de l’Angola et chez les ” Mbati ” de Centrafrique, la danse de nombril est une expression folklorique charnelle permettant à un couple de danseurs de se produire nombril contre nombril.

Lorsque les esclaves noirs Africains débarquent à Cuba il y a 5 siècles avec la danse ” Nkoumba “, le colonisateur Espagnol supprime l’Africanité de cette expression culturelle, populaire et la baptise Rumba pour l’approprier. Du point de vue linguistique, Cuba conserve à ce jour plusieurs mots d’origine Africaine, et ce en dépit de nombreuses transformations constatées dans l’héritage culturel des anciens esclaves. La Rumba conserve à ce jour quelques mots bantou et yoruba dont on entend dans certaines chansons Cubaines. Lorsque la Rumba est revenue en Afrique entre les années 40 et 50, après avoir été longtemps un moyen d’expression artistique et de revendication des noirs qui dénoncent l’injustice dont ils sont victimes à Cuba, elle a été réappropriée par les Africains. Avec l’évolution du temps, les musiciens Africains intègrent leur folklore dans ce riche patrimoine culturel et l’enrichissent d’autres courants musicaux.

SLAVERY IN SIERRA LEONE, BUNCE ISLAND, Day 2 FAMBULTIK TOUR
SLAVERY IN SIERRA LEONE, BUNCE ISLAND, Day 2 FAMBULTIK TOUR Blaxit 20 Views • 6 years ago

This episode is an historical journey into the Slavery past of Sierra Leone . Which is rarely seen and exposed via the media, it is hard to swallow at certain parts due to the sheer inhumane treatment of our Ancestors. The involvement of the Monarchy and the US is clearly evident during tour. It makes the demand for reparations all the more real. We happened to bump into Professor David Olusoga, the man who highlighted in the press, the fact that the British Government was still paying compensation to the slave owners up until 2015 and that Black people were also paying this compensation via the Treasury in their taxes . I personally started a campaign to have our families taxes refunded or rebated as they are unethical and totally unfair and inhumane and uncivilised. For more information you can search for his book online Black British or see this link for more information https://www.theguardian.com/co....mmentisfree/2018/feb
The professor although unfamilar with the Ryan Racism press coverage of the racial abuse of our sons and my family he was very sympathetic to our reasons for repatriating and he showed me a plaque which was really symbolic and placed by his sister what a powerful family. I was filming and I was emotional even angry at times because we are the only race to face and continue to experience the worst episode in human history yet we are not compensated for the genocidal war of slavery against Afrika and Afrikans. The racism and discrimination that we face on a daily basis only perpetuates the suffering. Being on Bunce Island was a real reminder of the damage cause of the division of the pain the sorrow the complete lack of comp****ion.
