My favorite cut from this 1975 Randy Weston recording is the Guy Warren composition “Mystery of Love” featuring Billy Harper on flute. Warren was the Ghanaian pioneer of #AfroJazz. #Afriscape #Jazz

#Shaboozey born from Igbo Nigerian parents and raised in #Texas will be performing on tonight's awards ceremony. I like the #Afriscape mix in that. Looking forward to hearing #MilesCaton performing "I lied to you" from #Sinners too. #BlackVisualCulture #Cinema #Oscars
OK. #Sinners has already made history. I'm curious about how this visual event will turn out tonight. What will be said (and by whom) during and after the awards are issued? I haven't ever been this interested in this awards show. #BlackVisualCulture #Cinema #Oscars

#Afriscape #VisualCulture A throughline between African (yoruba?) beading traditions, first nations and African struggle for liberation against white settler colonialism, Egun (ancestor veneration) and #NewOrleans funk. Several parts of this brought tears to my eyes. #MardiGras #Indians

On my 2009 visit to Salvador Bahia I heard this band live in the Cidade Velho (the old city) section of Salvador. I was taking an evening walk and heard the sound of the drums and then the orchestra, which I followed until I located the stage that they were on. #Afriscape #Jazz @jazzsky.bsky.social

“Sophie Oluwole (1935-2018) was a Nigerian scholar and the first woman to earn a PhD in philosophy in her country. She not only placed Nigeria’s rich Yoruba philosophical tradition on the intellectual map, she also helped redefine African philosophy, a field dominated by men.” #Afriscape #Philosophy
Sophie Oluwole, the trailblazing Nigerian woman who redefined philosophy
Oluwole faced a double challenge: a woman in philosophy and an African, confronting both sexism and Eurocentric bias.

Excellent article on the late great guitar genius James Blood Ulmer. Written by @melvingibbs.bsky.social in 2019 the title cuts to the chase about what initially attracted me to Blood in the early 80s…its “…internal African logic…” #Jazz #Blues #Afriscape
