Play music and act

"As far as Africa is concerned, music cannot be for enjoyment, music has to be for revolution" Fela

Avec la sortie de son troisième album "A Long way to the beginning, Oluseun Anikulapo Kuti emprunte définitivement la voie de la contestation.

La capacité à lutter étant brouillée par la complexité de l'époque, il a choisi l'arme la plus efficace pour l'art en période de faible intensité : le détournement et intitule son premier titre IMF (International Mother Fucker) en référence au FMI.

Play Music And Act

et rend ainsi hommage au décidément très grand Fela comme nous le rappelle cette video: http://youtu.be/4waYY1HZ318

Nelly Uchendu - Love Nwantinti (1977) Referred to as the “Golden Voice of Nigeria,” Nelly Uchendu was one of the few female singers in the Igbo high life genre.

Nelly burst upon the scene in 1977 with “Love Nwantinti,” a song based on the folklore of her native Enugu, and quickly followed that up with a number of hits like “Aka Bu Eze” and “Mamausa.”

The Chimurenga  chronic, août 2016.

The Chimurenga  chronic, Août 2016.

Pour "écrire notre monde différemment", pour échapper aux diktats de la croissance, du développement et des projections des Institutions internationales telles que le FMI ou la Banque Mondiale, le dernier numéro du bulletin de Chimurenga, Chimurenga chronic convoque la science-fiction et l’illustration. 

Comme d’habitude très prolixe, Chimurenga qui avait édité en 2008, Doctor Santan Echo Chamber, revient sur le potentiel de la SF, pour rendre compte du présent du continent africain et se projeter dans des futurs alternatifs.
