On my post about the word “Black” vs the word “African-American”, my sister Anne Renee brought some down home, grits and gravy TRUTH moments ago: “Let me be clear: I identify myself as a black woman! I say we are all black folks! If you read me anywhere that I roam, my identity is black. The [...]

Photo Right: Current South African president Jacob “Zulu Boy” Zuma. A polygamist with three wives and an unrepentant rapist. His campaign song while running for president was “Bring Me My Machine Gun.” So much for the fictional version of the “noble” South Africa you saw in the new Morgan Freedman movie. From Takimag.com White Zimbabweans used to [...]

Metro Area is the project of producers Morgan Geist and Darshan Jesrani. Those unfamiliar with them may have actually caught a glimpse of Atmosphrique through that Ford Fusion commercial (where its driving on the side of the high rise). Weird little media tidbit I know. Regardless of that, their music is pretty spectacular. It combines the [...]

Review: Hugh Masekela, London Symphony Orchestra, LSO Community Chorus, cond. François-Xavier Roth (Barbican, December 10th 2009) Hugh Masekela is a musician with a real soul. He has a genuine warm, charismatic, and simple way of building special relationships, both with his fellow musicians and with an audience. Last night, in a sold-out Barbican Hall, the 70-year old Masekela was very much...

OK, I know it is only a few days since my last Seminal Album but this one is exciting. Well it is exciting for me. The album is 1982's World Music pioneer release from King Sunny Adé And His African Beats and it is called Ju Ju Music . OK, there had been African musicians in the western eye before; Fela Kuti, Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makebo, Manu Dibango etc, but this was a new departure for Island...
