Det här är berättelsen om superhjältewannaben från Nigeria, som var med och tog afrobeats utanför kontinenten och fick hela världen att dansa med. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Med en lätt duns slår sig Burna Boy ner på toalettsitsen hemma i sin enorma villa i Lagos. Belåtet ser han sig omkring i det lyxiga badrummet. De skinande guldkranarna på tvättstället och det specialdesignade badkaret. Året är 2019 och stunden på toaletten är en välbehövlig paus från alla måsten som anstår en av Afrikas största artister.Men han får inte vara ifred så länge innan mobilen vibrerar. Det är hans mamma och manager ringer för att berätta att han ska spela på den amerikanska jättefestivalen Coachella. För afrobeats-artisten Burna Boy, som redan lagt stora delar av den afrikanska kontinenten under sina fötter, är det här ett nytt steg i karriären.Nyfiken går han in på Coachellas instagramkonto för att spana in festivalaffischen. 27-årige Burna Boy söker med blicken över namnen. Han letar och letar. När han till slut får syn på sitt namn, utskrivet med minimala bokstäver, kokar han av ilska. Vilka tror de att de är? Han är African giant. Hans namn borde fan vara både högst upp och störst.Medverkande: Ethiopia Eshete och Cynthia Pontvik Lillo.Programmet är gjort av Siri Hill i mars 2024Producent Joanna KorbutiakExekutiv producent Lars TruedssonSlutmix Fredrik NilssonP3 Musikdokumentär görs av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från minidokumentären The Black River: Whiskey Documentary (2022), 360 With Speedy (2023), Grammy Awards (2002 och 2024), Billboard Music Con (2022), BBC News Africa (2023), P3 Soul (Sveriges Radio, 2023), Hitz Meetz (2013), Ndani TV (2013), African Storm/Bassline (2015), African Voices (2022), The Fader (2019), The Daily Show (2019), Apple Music TV (2023), BBC (2020), Sky News (2020) och Architectural Digest (2021) samt Youtube-kontona Afrobeats Global (2020), Ochanya (2021), Forever Wendy (2021) och Pan African Lifestyle (2023).

Podcasts are on the rise in Africa. The huge sector has been dominated by voices from outside the continent, but more African producers are now turning to the mic to tell their stories. Also the European Court of Human Rights finds that South African Olympic champion Caster Semenya was discriminated against by World Athletics with rules requiring her to artificially lower her testosterone levels. Finally, one of the world's top choirs – Ghana's Harmonious Chorale – pops in whilst on tour.

We are so excited to welcome Mwendia Steve Kiengu to the podcast as we begin highlighting perspectives from Africa! Mwendia is a seminary student in Kenya who's grown up with same-sex attraction. He talks with TJ about the African cultural dynamics they've both experienced around same-sex attraction—how people talk about it, advice they give, and the challenges that Christians with same-sex attractions face. We value Mwendia's perspective on sexuality, both for Africans engaging in the conversation and for global listeners expanding their knowledge of the world. — Note: This episode uses the terms “Side A” and “Side B” (and X, Y) as shorthand, which is most often a western framing. If you're new to the conversation, you might find it helpful to check out Communion & Shalom episode #3, where we talk through the four “sides”: ⁠⁠⁠#3 - A-B-Y-X | 4 Sides on SSA/Gay Sexuality⁠⁠ __________ Timestamps (0:24) TJ: On highlighting African voices (04:09) Introducing Mwendia (16:02) Same-sex sexual relations (and insult words) among Kenyan young people (22:54) Are there gay Kenyan celebrities? (25:36) Most closeted Kenyans stay there (under pressure to marry, have kids) (32:21) African values on marriage + kids (high), celibacy (low) (40:41) Openness to celibate partnerships, LGBT language? in Kenya (50:02) "This is a western ideology” (58:44) Kenyan Christians who affirm same-sex sex?

Bienvenue dans cette série d'entrevue du Réseau panafricain de la théologie et de la pastorale catholiques. Dans cet épisode, les co-animateurs, Sr.  Ebere Amakwe et Nnaemeka Ali, O. M.I., reçoivent Prof. Carlos Mendoza-Alvarez. Le P. Carlos est dominicain et l'un des directeurs de Revue Théologique, le Concilium. Il est professeur de théologiefondamentale au Boston College of Theology.Carlos s'inspire de la théologie de la libération et s'intéresse à « l'esprit communautaire africain, à la lutte pour la justice, la liberté, la paix, la vérité et la vie ». Ses recherches portent sur les différentes expressions de la « subjectivité » –comment les émotions, les sentiments et les pratiques des gens modernes et postmodernes sont ouverts à la révélation et à l'expérience de rédemption.Il voit la nécessité pour l'Église d'améliorer un dialogue profond « Sud-Sud », ce qui signifie s'écouter attentivement – un aspect essentiel de notre mode de vie perdu à cause du colonialisme. Son rêve pour l'Afrique et l'humanité entière est de vivre dans la dignité enracinée dans le riche patrimoine des gens – le mode de vie, la spiritualité, la culture et l'expérience de tous les jours.  

In this episode, you will listen to the conversation between the co-hosts, Sr Ebere Amakwe and Nnaemeka Ali, O.M.I, and Prof Susan Abraham. Prof Abraham is the first woman as well as the first lay Catholic president of the editorial board of Conciliumthe oldest Theological Journal in the Catholic Church founded in 1965. She is also the vice president of Academic Affairs and the dean of faculty at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California. She shares her passion for Theology and how she uses her knowledge and research to empower women globally. Prof Abraham is one of the delegates at the forthcoming Second Pan-African Theological and Pastoral conference in Nairobi and will preside at the first Concilium International Assembly to be held in Africa. She will be speaking on Africa's encounter with modernity and the possibility of an “Afro-futurism” - the idea of looking at what the future of the Church and the world will look like from an African perspective. She thinks that the Nairobi conference is important because it shows how the experiences and work of a particular church can speak to the universal. It is her hope and prayer that Africa will breathe life into the world again.

    In today's episode, we chat with the an undisputed master of creativity. Nalini Aubeeluck is a serial entrepreneur who has started several successful ventures in her native Mauritius.  A classically trained dancer, Nalini started the Nalini Dance School after spotting a gap in the entertainment sector. She soon grew the business to become the leading dance studio and performance group in Mauritius, inspiring many fans home and abroad. However, after a successful 15 year run her company ran into serious financial trouble as a result of the financial crises. Recognizing the need to diversify her income stream to survive the crises and support her family, she then brainstormed and came up with an idea for a one-stop shop for fashion and beauty. She presented the idea at a business competition and it was green light & subsequently produced. At that moment, Nalini had pivoted herself from creative artist to highly respected  TV producer.  Proving that her concept was viable, she came up with a second TV show centered around men. While developing the TV shows, she noticed another gap in the market and created a fashion label called FAITH. Though a young brand, FAITH is currently gaining publicity as a  brand to watch. As a result of her exploits and various business interests, Nalini has been recognized as the unofficial Ambassador of Entrepreneurship in Mauritius and has been featured on CNN's African Voices. Her philosophy, tenacity, faith, belief in God and willingness to take risks embodies the true spirit of being a "Bulletproof Entrepreneur".
