  1. Maravillas de Mali – Rendez-vous chez Fatimata

    amf.didiermary.fr/maravillas-m

    “Rendez-vous chez Fatimata” est la signature d’une lointaine époque musicale, ancrée dans le Danzón (l’un des rythmes au tempo lent, qui s’interconnecte au Son Cubano) avec bien sûr des éléments de rythmes maliens.

    Avec ce groupe mythique des années 60, c’est toute une nouvelle génération de musiciens qui montait sur scène. [...]

  7. #Video - US Voices Against the Blockade Episode 2: Imani Bashir
    peertube.world/w/oBRgayfhyQKmp

    [from the #news collective #BellyOfTheBeast]

    Duration - 2:02

    #ImaniBashir is a Black American activist from Washington D.C. She visited to #Cuba following a radical political tradition, one that includes Malcolm X, Assata Shakur, and Kwame Ture, figures who understood the #CubanRevolution as part of a broader struggle for liberation.

    For Bashir, visiting Cuba wasn't just political, it was personal. Seeing #AfroCuban people, she says, was seeing people who look like her, who share her history, who have maintained their culture and dignity under decades of sanctions.

    Her argument on the #blockade is straightforward: Cuba has never been a threat to the US. It has never put #US safety, its food supply, or resources at stake. "It has only been the other way around," she says.

  25. Ahora mismo escuchando Pocito 11 de Jorge Reyes (1983), más que nada para volver a la rutina de escuchar música que se me han acumulado un millón de escuchas pendientes estás semanas de sequía.

    Es el que fue el bajista de Irakere cuando no está Carlos del Puerto, así que os podéis imaginar el nivel. Si no sabéis de qué hablo tirad a poneros Irakere ahora mismo.
