Kotuswa mu Bukulu: The ancestralization of Tata Kimbandwe Kia Bunseki Fu-Kiau*
by Mark A. Bolden, Ph.D. Washington DC Metro Chapter ABPsi The Fanon Project
Trinity Washington University

The passing of an elder is like the burning of a library according to Amadou Hampate Ba. Tata (Baba/father) Fu-Kiau informs us that the transition process is the setting of a sun from the upper world of the living, Ku Nseke, to the lower world of Ku Mpemba (Fu-Kiau, 1991, p. 8). One, particularly a master (fundi), becomes an nkulu (ancestor) by the virtue of leading a balanced life, which is evaluated by the bukulu (ancestors) and the living who choose to elevate the recent ancestor to the status of an nkulu (balanced ancestor). These proverbs fit well for our recent beloved Nkulu (ancestor) Tata K. K. Bunseki Fu-Kiau who went “on vacation” at the ripe age of 7 million and some seventy-odd years in December 2013. Dr. Fu-Kiau was an nganga (healer) initiated into the highest KiKongo systems of learning. He came to ABPsi formally through the conference in 2008 for our 40th anniversary celebration of ABPsi, on a panel devoted to the wisdom of traditional African religions along with Oulimata Seck, daughter of the ancestor Maam Fatou Seck and head ndeppkatt (practitioner of Ndepp) of the Sengelase tradition of Ndepp. It was there where he instructed us from the panel to protect the children, imploring elder Dr. Robert L. Williams to encircle the organization and to bestow his blessings and protection. It was a profound ritual to restore order in the moment of unrest within the audience and looming confusion. Moreover, it taught us that it is our responsibility to protect the children in our role as healers/therapists (mfied’i) of our community (boko) and patients (mbèvo).

https://egotickets.com/events/....iba-music-festival-2 inside a powerful AES conversation with Empress Ajé, creator of the ÌBÀ Music Festival, as she shares the vision, spiritual grounding, and cultural purpose behind this growing movement.In this rich discussion, Empress Ajé opens up about the meaning of ÌBÀ, the festival’s roots in Trinidad and Tobago, and why this year’s TriniGhana Experience is such an important bridge between Ghana and the historic diaspora. She speaks on honoring the ancestors, uplifting the divine feminine, and using music, performance, and community gathering as vehicles for deeper reconnection.This conversation also explores why the ÌBÀ Music Festival is a natural fit as an official D.O.O.R. event, and why repatriation must be understood as more than documents and logistics. It is also about spirit, belonging, cultural memory, exchange, and building real connection in community.From calypso and highlife to steel pan, ancestral chant, and the links between Ghana and Trinidad, this is a BlackCellent discussion for anyone interested in culture, music, repatriation, and the living ties between Black people across the world.Watch, share, and join the conversation.#empressaje #ibamusicfestival #door #abibitumi #aes #repatriation #trinighana #blackculture #diaspora #ghana #trinidadandtobago #culturalexchange #ancestralconnection #divinefeminine #blackpower https://egotickets.com/events/....iba-music-festival-2
