    “Medieval West Africa was dominated by three great empires - Ghana, Mali, and Songhai - that grew immensely powerful from the trans-Saharan trade routes, especially for gold and salt, fostering vibrant Islamic cultures, wealthy cities like Timbuktu, and powerful centralized governments before smaller states emerged. 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

    amf.didiermary.fr/ali-farka-to

    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" [...]

    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.
