Entre une légende du rap sud-africain et un poète angevin, mon cœur balance… Notre 1er invité est Stogie T pour la sortie de l'EP ShallowVétéran du hip-hop sud-africain, Stogie T (Tumi Molekane) n'est pas un parolier classique. Son travail consiste à trouver un équilibre délicat entre différents mondes ; il a prouvé qu'il était la voix du peuple, mais il n'hésite pas à tendre un miroir à l'ensemble de la société, et le reflet est toujours plus complexe que les clichés bien-pensants du «rap conscient» et la nature stéréotypée et banale du «rap commercial».Le message dominant de Shallow est la psychose collective. Le dernier EP publié par Stogie T depuis la pandémie mondiale contient des chansons percutantes qui reflètent une forme particulière de cynisme prévalant en Afrique. Le rêve différé, la perte d'espoir sous le poids écrasant d'un État de plus en plus défaillant. Stogie T a déjà parlé de cet état, mais cette fois-ci, il se penche sur les effets qu'il a sur ses habitants. Ce qu'il advient de la pensée des gens, de leurs dysfonctionnements et de leurs pathologies.Stogie T (alias Tumi Molekane) est sur la voie de l'autoréflexion, de l'introspection, de l'évolution et de la restitution, tout en jouant la carte du progrès. Il s'interroge sur les valeurs et les règles qui régissent notre vie, sur les raisons de désespérer ou d'espérer d'un pays entouré d'un pillage flagrant, sur les raisons d'être cynique et sur les raisons de croire et de se soucier des autres.Les chansons de cet EP ont été conçues et enregistrées pendant Covid et entre les moments d'anxiété intense dus au dysfonctionnement et au désordre sociétal, à la perte d'amis proches et de membres de la famille, et à la disparition tragique de ses pairs. En tant qu'artiste cherchant à trouver une voix dans le désordre et à s'élever au-dessus du bruit de la machine médiatique mondiale, Stogie T a trouvé du réconfort dans la tragédie et le traumatisme. Offrant un contrepoint à l'air du temps par le biais d'une poésie artistique nous rappelant, ainsi qu'à lui-même, qu'en tant qu'artiste, c'est son travail qui apporte de l'espoir pour l'avenir, mais qu'il doit faire preuve d'un grand discernement, d'espoir pour l'avenir, mais qu'il doit rester fidèle à lui-même, à sa famille et à sa communauté.Titres interprétés grand studio- Shallow Live RFI- Zimkile feat Msaki, extrait album- Too Late For Mama Live RFI.Line Up : Tumi Molekane (voix), Shane Cooper (basse), Bonj (voix), Bokani Dyer (claviers, voix), Clem Carr (claviers)et Justin Badenhorst (batterie).Traduction : Enora LouisSon : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor.► EP Shallow (Sakifo Rd 2024).Facebook - Youtube. Puis la #SessionLive invite Lo'Jo pour la sortie de l'album Feuilles Mauves. De leur Anjou natal à tous les continents, des instruments traditionnels au rock, Lo'Jo a toujours su passer de la feuille blanche à la poésie. La lumière et les mots de Feuilles Fauves magnifient une nouvelle fois l'insaisissable. Car si nous sommes Peu de choses, écrit Denis Péan, heureusement, « on peut faire chavirer le cœur le plus fané sur le tempo du chamamé ». Il y a de ces groupes qui ne sont enchaînés nulle part si ce n'est aux instruments du monde ou aux feuilles de papier. Sans chaîne ni code ni dogme, Lo'Jo sera toujours ces explorateurs de la musique, ces chercheurs des mots. Le collectif Lo'Jo continue avec Feuilles Fauves à puiser dans ce qu'il sait faire de mieux : ne rien se refuser. Pourquoi ne pas mêler le kamele n'goni, instrument acoustique malien au violon, pourquoi ne pas faire fusionner le piano au kayamn, sur toile d'électro, pour donner à ce disque, aussi, les couleurs des Mascareignes ?Chaque disque est une réinvention : Feuilles Fauves n'y fait pas exception. Par ses traditions musicales absorbées lors de leurs innombrables voyages, comme par ses collaborations prestigieuses : de Robert Wyatt à Tony Allen, Robert Plant, Tinariwen, Erik Truffaz, ou encore Archie Shepp... l'utopie Lo'Jo a « le pouvoir d'hypnotiser et de ravir à chaque morceau » (Billboard).Des feuilles de l'automne aux feuilles de papier Le titre Mandiego, qui ouvre ce nouvel album, aux notes de piano douces et enveloppantes, est une invitation bienveillante au nouveau voyage que nous offre Lo'Jo. Car « l'Homme est bien peu de choses mon ami. Si le soir il est hasard, le matin il est destin », écrit Denis Péan. Feuilles Fauves est brut, comme primitif et sauvage. Aidé par la réalisation de Clément Petit (entendu aux côtés de Piers Faccini ou Blick Bassy) et Alexandre Finkin, les voix pénètrent l'esprit, les instruments du monde régalent le corps avec une intensité vivante et organique. Parce que malgré le chaos du monde, Lo'Jo nous invite avec Feuilles Fauves à un périple solaire : grâce à cette langue inventée, au créole comme aux sons du monde et d'ailleurs. Grâce aux textes sensibles, parfois espiègles ou envoûtants.

Send us a textHave you ever stumbled upon a wine that makes you do a double-take at the price tag? That's exactly what happened when I discovered the Trader Joe's Reserve Huichica Hills Vineyard Carneros Napa Chardonnay 2023 – a $9.99 bottle sourced from the same prestigious vineyard where Duckhorn produces their $65 Chardonnays.This remarkable find represents the fascinating behind-the-scenes reality of today's wine market. The Huichica Hills Vineyard sits in Carneros, that coveted region straddling Napa and Sonoma where cool breezes from San Pablo Bay create perfect conditions for Chardonnay. When I tasted this wine, the quality was immediately apparent – medium to full-bodied with beautifully integrated oak providing subtle vanilla notes without overwhelming the fruit. The flavor profile showcases classic Carneros characteristics: vibrant lemon and apple, hints of Anjou pear, white stone fruits like nectarine, and even subtle tropical notes reminiscent of coconut milk. Most impressively, it delivers the lengthy finish typically reserved for wines at much higher price points.The story behind this bottle reflects the current wine industry downturn, with consumption dropping approximately 10% in 2024. These market conditions have disrupted normal supply chains, creating situations where premium fruit originally destined for high-end bottlings becomes available for opportunistic projects. Produced by Plata Wine Partners (under their Ashford Court label), a company controlling some 20,000 acres of California vineyards, this wine demonstrates what can happen when quality fruit meets skilled winemaking, regardless of the price point. If you appreciate Chardonnay with balanced acidity, complex flavors, and remarkable value, don't walk – run to Trader Joe's before this exceptional bargain disappears from shelves.Check us out at www.cheapwinefinder.comor email us at podcast@cheapwinefinder.com

fWotD Episode 2895: Empress Matilda Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 8 April 2025 is Empress Matilda.Empress Matilda (c. 7 February 1102 – 10 September 1167), also known as Empress Maud, was one of the claimants to the English throne during the civil war known as the Anarchy. The daughter and heir of Henry I, king of England and ruler of Normandy, she went to Germany as a child when she was married to the future Holy Roman Emperor Henry V. She travelled with the emperor to Italy in 1116, was controversially crowned empress in St Peter's Basilica, and acted as the imperial regent in Italy. Matilda and Henry V had no children, and when he died in 1125, the imperial crown was claimed by his rival Lothair of Supplinburg.Matilda's younger and only full brother, William Adelin, died in the White Ship disaster of 1120, leaving Matilda's father and realm facing a potential succession crisis. Upon her widowhood in the Holy Roman Empire, Matilda was recalled to Normandy by her father, who arranged for her to marry Geoffrey of Anjou to form an alliance to protect his southern borders in France. Henry I had no further legitimate children and nominated Matilda as his heir, making his court swear an oath of loyalty to her and her successors, but the decision was not popular in his Anglo-Norman court. Henry died in 1135, but Matilda and Geoffrey faced opposition from the barons. The throne was instead taken by Matilda's male cousin Stephen of Blois, who enjoyed the backing of the English Church. Stephen took steps to solidify his new regime but faced threats both from neighbouring powers and from opponents within his kingdom.In 1139, Matilda crossed to England to take the kingdom by force, supported by her half-brother Robert, Earl of Gloucester, and her uncle David I of Scotland, while her husband, Geoffrey, focused on conquering Normandy. Matilda's forces captured Stephen at the Battle of Lincoln in 1141, but her attempt to be crowned at Westminster Abbey collapsed in the face of bitter opposition from the London crowds. As a result of this retreat, Matilda was never formally declared Queen of England, and was instead titled "Lady of the English" (Latin: domina Anglorum). Earl Robert was captured following the Rout of Winchester in 1141, and Matilda agreed to exchange him for Stephen. Matilda was besieged at Oxford Castle by Stephen's forces that winter, but escaped at night across the frozen River Isis (Thames) to Abingdon, reputedly wearing white as camouflage in the snow. The war degenerated into a stalemate, with Matilda controlling much of the south-west of England, and Stephen the south-east and the Midlands. Large parts of the rest of the country were in the hands of local, independent barons.Matilda returned to Normandy, now in the hands of her husband, in 1148, leaving their eldest son to continue the campaign in England; he was eventually declared Stephen's heir after the signing of the Treaty of Wallingford and succeeded to the throne as Henry II in 1154, forming the Angevin Empire. She settled her court near Rouen and for the rest of her life concerned herself with the administration of Normandy, acting on her son's behalf when necessary. Particularly in the early years of her son's reign, she provided political advice and attempted to mediate during the Becket controversy. She worked extensively with the Church, founding Cistercian monasteries, and was known for her piety. She was buried under the high altar at Bec Abbey after her death in 1167, until much later when her tomb was moved to Rouen Cathedral.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:01 UTC on Tuesday, 8 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Empress Matilda on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

Born into a world of treachery, violence and death, William of Normandy defied all expectations, forging a legacy that lasts to this day. Born out of wedlock and dismissed as an upstart, he was originally known as William the Bastard. Inheriting the Duchy of Normandy at just eight years old, William was faced with betrayal, bloodshed, and anarchy. From the restless Normans, who expanded across Europe as mercenaries and horsemen, to the growing threat of Anjou, the early years of his reign were blighted by power struggles. Following the brutal murder of his guardians, and with Normandy on the brink of collapse, William was forced to survive in a world without loyalty, where ambition was the ultimate currency. Meanwhile, across the Channel, the English throne was in turmoil, as the sons of Æthelred the Unready fought for survival and power… Join Tom and Dominic as they trace William's rise from a vulnerable child to a formidable young duke, setting the stage for the ultimate confrontation: his claim to the English crown. _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett + Aaliyah Akude Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

Medieval power couple King Louis VII of France and Eleanor of Aquitaine, seemingly unable to produce a male heir, had a messy breakup. Their annulment on 21st March 1152 was granted by the Pope on the grounds of consanguinity - meaning they were too closely related by blood. And yet both parties went on to marry people to whom they were even more closely related. Henry of Anjou was Eleanor's next husband - a move which made her the only woman in history to have been both Queen of France AND Queen of England. Meanwhile, Louis lost half his Kingdom - and had to sit and watch as Eleanor popped out male heir after male heir with her new hubby. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Arion explain why going on a Holy War is not great marriage therapy; get between the sheets with the Royal couple; and consider how an attempted kidnapping might have made for an awkward family atmosphere at Eleanor and Henry's wedding reception…  Further Reading: • ‘Eleanor of Aquitaine - Queen of France, Queen of England, By Ralph V.
