TAMBOUR D'AFRIQUE TONIGHT - MIRIAM MAKEBA SPECIAL

Tune in tonight @ 10pm NY TIME for a very special episode of Tambour d'Afrique.
Tonight we pay homage to the late great Miriam Makeba.

Orchestre Super Boboto de Brazzaville...

TELECHARGEMENT/DL

L'Orchestre Super Boboto de Brazzaville emerged in the 1960s. They are often compared to Sosoliso, Negro Sucess and Veve. This song is called 'Mama Rita'. It definitely reminds me of a mix of Bantous de le capitale and Verkys. Very beautiful composition. Enjoy. Peace.

Miriam Makeba...R.I.P.

Miriam Makeba - LUMUMBA (TC/DL)

This blog focuses mainly on Congolese music but I had to take the time out and give respects to one of the greatest vocalists and activists of our time. South African singer and activist, Miriam 'Mama Afrika' Makeba passed away last night of a heart attack. Right before she passed away she was doing what she did best, singing in the name of activism at an anti-organized crime concert in southern Italy. She was 76 years old.

The good people over @ Bad Gal's Radio have compiled several articles reporting on her passing and her life. There is also a great wealth of nice pictures of her as well. Go here: R.I.P. Miriam Makeba - Goodbye Mama Afrika we shall surely miss you

My first clear memory of Miriam Makeba was her guest appearance on The Cosby Show in 1991. I remember being in awe of her and not really knowing who she was but just feeling she was a person of great importance. I was only 9 years old and hadn't realized that I'd heard her music before; my parents owned a few of her 45inch records. It wasn't until a year and a half ago when I started really delving into African music that I discovered the power of her voice. She quickly became one of my idols as I too wish to use my music to move my people, the way she did. I shed a tear this morning when I found out she passed away. She put in a lifetime of work for our people and I am forever grateful to her and her life. Mama Makeba,toleli yo.

Zaiko Langa Langa - Eboza...

A couple episodes ago I had to make a mix based off the songs that Guy 'Mwana Mboka' played on the show that night. As I was reading the list I saw the song "EBOZA" written on the paper but for the life of me could not find the song on my harddrive for some reason. I thought maybe Guy meant "UPOSA" and posted that song instead lol.
Well I was wrong and I found the song Eboza. This song comes from Zaiko's most electric era, the mid-70s. This is the era that brought Zaiko Langa Langa it's notoriety for creating exciting compositions based on love, mixed with social commentary, tight harmonies and grooves fit for getting down. I have yet to hear a song from them from this time period that I didn't love. Eboza is no exception. Please listen and enjoy...



Zaiko Langa Langa - Eboza (TC/DL)

Obama!

OBAMA - EXTRA GOLDLEN (TC/DL)

Two days after the elections and I'm still in a bit of shock and disbelief as to who our new president is. I must say I am a cynical person with regards to the government and I never thought I would see the day a Black man would run this country and the "Free World" but the day is here. It's really here. I keep waiting for people on the news to say "HA! JUST KIDDING!" ha. But this is the reality! Barack Obama is PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!



Although I am not a political person at all and I see Democrats as the lesser of two evils in comparison to Republicans, I feel there is no way a person of African descent can not feel the need to celebrate President Barack Obama's victory. Unless of course they are a Republican or a staunch Hilary Supporter. Then I don't know what to say to them lol but I'm happy.

Seems like a cliche but to me his victory is a modern day symbol to all children out there of all backgrounds that the greatest accomplishments in life are not impossible. That we as people of African, Asian, Latin American, Native American, descent are not limited to the roles we usually take in society. This victory tells them it takes discipline determination and also the ability to unify people of like mind behind your causes BUT it is not impossible. We, the Human Race, are capable of the greatest things and have been stifled so long by those driven by greed but it's not impossible to move forward from that. His victory in and of itself is the greatest motivation. Since Hope was the theme of his campaign, I truly HOPE that his victory does motivate people to strive to make everyday life better, everywhere.

It's kind of tragic that it would take an event like this to make people believe in themselves but the reality is the symbol of a Black man as president is a symbol powerful enough to move people to action. Just the symbolism alone.

Also we must remember President Obama did not elect himself. It took the votes of the American people. So we who voted for him on the 4th are all victorious in his win; WE did it. He drummed up the hope and we followed though. Now it's his turn to put forth the ideas and policies he presented that got us all to vote. But I'm still in celebration mode right now all the way until Inauguration...then we can put him in the hot seat (haha).

The song playing right now is "Obama" by Kenyan American band Extra Golden. I just heard of them and saw their video on Likembe Here is the video:
