These empires were centers of learning, art, and distinct governance, with oral traditions preserving much of their history…”

Ali Farka Toure & Ry Cooder – Talking Timbuktu
https://amf.didiermary.fr/ali-farka-toure-ry-cooder-talking-timbuktu/
Mon correspondant allemand m’a offert cet album, Talking Timbuktu, pour mon anniversaire, il y a des années. Je me suis littéralement forcé à l’écouter, car c’était un cadeau…
Je vais probablement me faire lyncher, mais je n’ai jamais accroché. C’est beau, c’est bien fait, etc.
Le côté guitare et “desert blues" [...]#AliFarkaToure #Blues #DesertBlues #FullAlbum #Mali #Songhai

Great African empires
In this episode of “Lumumba’s Africa,” Professor PLO #Lumumba explores the #historical significance of the #African continent, which was the cradle of some of the greatest #empires, including the #Egyptian, #Songhai, #Benin, and #Yoruba empires, among others across the Mother Continent. While these #civilizations flourished, they suffered devastating impacts due to slavery and #colonization. However, some of these #kingdoms, such as the #Zulu Kingdom, #Oyo, and the #Waganda Kingdom, still exist today. The professor #emphasizes the importance of keeping the #legacies of #African kingdoms alive through discussion and #storytelling, as this will help unite Africa and contribute to a brighter future for the continent.

Songhai Empire: The Rise & Fall of Africa’s Biggest Empire
The #Songhai #Empire was one of #Africa's most powerful and wealthy states, influencing and shaping the West #African world during the #medieval era.
In the 15th and 16th centuries in West Africa, the dominant power was the Songhai Empire. Covering an area of around 310,000 square miles (800,000 kilometers2), the Songhai Empire, at its height, was about twice the size of California.
Centered around the #Niger River, the Songhai Empire eclipsed the Mali Empire, which had been the regional power before. Songhai rose to great wealth and power and, for almost two centuries, controlled West Africa #politically and #economically.
