Greetings

UNRESOLVED

===========

“Black people can’t talk to white people about race anymore. There’s really nothing left to say. There are libraries full of books, interviews, essays, lectures, and symposia. If people want to learn about their own country and its history, it is not incumbent on black people to talk to them about it. It is not our responsibility to educate them about it. Plus whenever white people want to talk about race, they never want to talk about themselves. There needs to be discussion among people who think of themselves as white. They need to unpack that language, that history, that social position and see what it really offers them, and what it takes away from them.”

—Steve Locke - “Why I Don’t Want to Talk About Race” (viakararikue)

dynamicafrica: Rightly listed by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the best Brazilian albums in history, and possibly of all time  (forgive me if my bias is showing), África Brasil is quite possibly the definitive album of Afro-Brasilian music legend Jorge Ben’s career.  A heavy mixture of samba and funk, Jorge Ben so perfectly captures the iconic sound and essence associated with the Música Popular Brasileira post-Bossa Nova cultural movement in Brasil, and also pays tribute to the various African cultures (e.g. Mozambican, Congolese and Angolan) that have greatly influenced the fabric of Brasilian culture to this day. Songs such as Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma), Cavaleiro do Cavalo Imaculado, África Brasil (Zumbi) and Xica da Silva all reference and/or pay tribute to Afro-Brasilian historical icons and Afro-Brasilian history.

She’s returned to us! Goapele prepares usfor her upcoming album Break Of Dawn, with the super sexy Play. The album will be in stores October 25th, but you can grab the single this Saturday Aug 27 on iTunes.
I’m loving the sexy vibe, but I’m hoping she doesn’t go too Marsha Ambrosius on us. Overall, I just hope she doesn’t go the commercial conformist route and the album is good. Eagerly anticipating this one

After a great deal of procrastination,I am back on track, aiming for greater heights and best of all, free from baggage. Awesome day…❁

jazzinbooks:

When most think of Jazz they think of the man with horn. The cool, haunting sound, the fierce glare, the style, and the impact he made on the World. Not a perfect man, but he was “the man”. Happy Birthday to Sir Miles Dewey Davis III

Yesterday, we shared the Geology remix of Jill’s Slowly Surely and here’s another tune that was apparently supposed to be on the remix EP that never came to fruition. Madlib adds some really serious vibes to A Long Walk and I’d love to hear what a proper collaboration between them would sound like. I can only imagine…
