On January 8, 1959, Fidel Castro and his ragtag army marched into Havana and proclaimed victory in the Cuban revolution. Much of the world knew Cuba primarily from its 1930 megahit "El Manicero" ("The Peanut Vendor") and from the mambo craze of the 1950's. After Castro came to power, the economic, political and cultural doors between Cuba and the U.S. would soon be shut. The doors opened briefly for tours by Cuban artists in the U.S. during the Carter and Clinton administrations. In this broadcast, we savor sounds from the pre-Revolutionary golden age of Cuban music that sets the scene for the international success of Cuban music. We illustrate how popular music in Africa and the Americas is not imaginable without the influence of Cuban music--copied and adapted on three continents. We'll hear the stories and rare recordings of such core styles as son - as well as luminaries like Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodriguez, Celia Cruz and the Sexteto Habanero; along with less well known artists.

In this episode of the Charity Charge Show, we speak with Cordell Carter, executive director of the Project on Belonging and founding director of the Festival of the Diaspora at the Aspen Institute.Cordell's career has spanned philanthropy, policy, leadership development, and international convenings. At the core of his work is one mission: connecting people across cultures, sectors, and geographies to spark collaboration and impact.From his leadership of Aspen's Project on Belonging to the Festival of the Diaspora's global gatherings, Cordell champions cross-cultural connection and mentorship. In this conversation, he offers candid insights on the future of philanthropy, the urgent need for efficiency in nonprofits, and how humility in leadership can transform organizations.He also unpacks why mergers may be the survival strategy nonprofits need, why funders should be bolder with long-term bets, and why partnerships with local governments often unlock new levels of sustainability.Highlights from the ConversationPhilanthropy should be more risk-taking. Foundations are too often risk-averse, forgetting that their role is catalytic, not conservative.Not every nonprofit needs to exist. Duplication drains resources. Funders can and should incentivize mergers and collaborations.Efficiency is survival. Leaders must be willing to cut, restructure, and refocus to protect the mission.Partnerships matter. Local government and community foundations are critical allies for long-term sustainability.Leadership is about humility. Creating upwardly mobile experiences for staff, retaining talent, and being willing to admit mistakes are all essential.Global belonging. The Festival of the Diaspora creates spaces for cross-cultural collaboration, highlighting innovation from often-overlooked leaders.About Charity Charge:Charity Charge is a financial technology company serving the nonprofit sector.

Diaspora churches have a tremendous capacity for mission as they practice their faith in the Western world, yet why do they fail to develop effective strategies to break out of their inwardly locked ministries? Addressing this question, Dr. Mehari Tedla Korcho's book Ethiopian Diaspora Churches on Mission: An Intergenerational Perspective on Ethiopian Churches in the United States (Langham Academic, 2024) offers a thorough examination of Ethiopian evangelical churches in the United States, encompassing their historical, sociological, and missiological aspects. Drawing attention to the relatively overlooked nature of the 1.5 diaspora generation, those who came to the United States as children, he explores the missional potential of mobilizing the intergenerational context of Ethiopian diaspora church communities. Outlining a familiar narrative found in many diaspora churches, Dr. Korcho provides comprehensive, strategic recommendations for helping the first, second, and 1.5 generations of these communities engage in mission together. This work offers a fresh perspective to the field of diaspora mission studies through expounding the prospective impact of mission by the diaspora and the challenges faced in establishing missional partnerships Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a text"When someone asks you where you're from, what's the first thing that comes to mind?" This seemingly simple question opens a window into the complex world of cultural identity for Caribbean people living in diaspora communities. Your answer likely depends on who's asking, where they're asking, and your unique migration journey.The Caribbean Diaspora Experience Model (CDEM) provides a way for understanding how our cultural identities form and evolve outside the region. Unlike academic theories, this model emerges from real lived experiences – my own family's migration story, countless conversations with community members, and insights gathered through years of podcast interviews. It offers six interconnected lenses that help us articulate what many have felt but struggled to express about our complex cultural journeys.In this deep dive into the first lens – "Where You Start Shapes the Journey" – we explore how your starting point profoundly influences your relationship with Caribbean culture. Whether you migrated as an adult with established cultural connections, came during formative teenage years like I did at 14, arrived as a young child with few concrete memories, or were born in the diaspora with varying degrees of cultural connection, each starting point creates a different foundation with unique challenges and strengths. The model acknowledges that even within families, different starting points create entirely different relationships to culture. My brothers and I all left Jamaica together, yet our age differences mean we each carry very different connections to our homeland.The model also considers what was happening when your cultural journey began – the decade, political climate, and social context that shaped how freely Caribbean culture could be expressed in your new home. Someone who migrated during the dancehall explosion of the 1990s had vastly different opportunities for cultural expression than someone who arrived during earlier decades when Caribbean cultural visibility was more limited in diaspora spaces.Understanding your starting point isn't about determining who is "more Caribbean" – it's about gaining clarity on your unique journey and extending grace to others whose experiences differ from yours. As we continue exploring the remaining lenses in future episodes, you'll discover how location, cultural anchors, identity shifts, professional expression, and embracing multiplicity all build upon the foundation established by where you began.How has your starting point shaped your cultural journey? Reflect on this question as we continue unpacking the language and framework that helps us make sense of our beautiful, complex Caribbean diaspora experience.

The conversation continues on the eastern Viking diaspora, noting that the power base of the Rus shifted from Novgorod to Kyiv, forming Kievan Rus. Although early rulers had Norsedescent, they assimilated culturally, blending Scandinavian and Slavic elements; Norse names like Ingvar and Helgabecame Igor and Olga. History is flexible, and competing groups interpret this mixed heritage. A major mystery discussed is the Salme ship burials in Estonia (Saaremaa island), dating around 750 AD, prior to Lindisfarne. The high-status dead, likely Swedish men on a diplomatic mission, died violently but were buried carefully with rich goods, including falcons and a king gaming piece in the mouth of a leader.

On a special edition of the Haaretz Podcast – as Israel faces the Jewish High Holidays mired in war and political division, host Allison Kaplan Sommer speaks to Prof. Adam Ferziger about soul-searching and atonement with a focus on the Orthodox Jewish community in Israel and the Diaspora. Ferziger, who is also an ordained rabbi, believes the process of observing Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur “is all about humility.” “Rosh Hashanah comes before Yom Kippur, because in order to be able to go before God and do some sort of atonement, I have to first acknowledge my place in the world,” he said. Following October 7 and over the past two years of war, “so many of the players involved, unfortunately, feel that they know all the right answers, and there is a real lack of humility on many sides.” Faith and belief in God, he said, should not “be a cause for saying ‘I am more powerful and better, and I know the truth more than you do.’” In his new book, "Agents of Change: American Jews and the Transformation of Israeli Judaism," the Bar-Ilan University professor chronicles the rise of what he calls “moderate Orthodox Judaism” in Israel, the pioneering immigrant Diaspora Jews behind a more liberal and tolerant religious outlook – even as, politically, their presence in Israel strengthened the right and the settler movement. “Many are right-wing by most standards when it comes to politics, but that does not necessarily go along with their attitude towards Jews who differ from them, or on sexual identity, or the role of women in leadership – and many other subjects.” While it can be “very hard to pull those things apart,” Ferziger sees this dichotomy as an opportunity for “conversation between people in Israel who are moderate in a lot of areas and the broader community in America,” even when there are deep political disagreements.

Today I talk with poet Maya Salameh about her poetry collection, How to Make an Algorithm in the Microwave, which won the prestigious Etal Adnan Poetry Prize in 2022. The judges remarked, “Maya Salameh's poetry stood out for its inventiveness in cracking the code of life ‘between system and culture'…The turns and swerves the poems make are astonishing; the expectations they upend are remarkable… It's a testament to the aesthetic boundaries and intellectual revolt poets of Arab heritage are pushing, breaking, and reinventing.” We talk about what led her to both technology and poetry, language and story-telling, and the challenges and joys of representing life in the diaspora. In a time of war and genocide, Salameh's poetry shows how patterns of life and reproduction and desire persist. In her readings and discussions of three poems, we find a new lexicon and a new grammar.Maya Salameh is the author of Mermaid Theory (Haymarket Books, 2026), How to Make an Algorithm in the Microwave (University of Arkansas Press, 2022), winner of the Etel Adnan Poetry Prize, and the chapbook rooh (Paper Nautilus Press, 2020). She has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, Sewanee Writers' Conference, Bread Loaf Environmental Writers' Conference, and the President's Committee for the Arts and Humanities, and served as a National Student Poet, America's highest honor for youth poets. Her work has appeared in The Offing, Poetry, Gulf Coast, The Rumpus, AGNI, Mizna, and the LA Times, among others. She can be found @mayaslmh or mayasalameh.com.  

For arts scholar and curator, Aunty Sana Reana Balai, living as part of the Pacific Island diaspora in Australia offered her new opportunities – and challenges.Carving out a new life abroad where she rarely saw other Pacific Islanders, Aunty shares stories on how she kept herself grounded and connected to culture, whilst removed from her beloved homeland of Buka Island, in Bougainville.And how her yearning to see other Black people led her to an Olympic legend.This week's episode of Sistas, Let's Talk is a repeat of the show broadcast on 5th December 2025

With the Aer Lingus College Football Classic last month and Ireland's first NFL game at the end of this one, Neale Richmond kicks off the episode with a timely gridiron tale.“I'm not just a very old and average rugby player, but I'm the only member of the Irish Parliament who's played American football. I was a defensive tackle for the Dublin Rebels and proud holder of a Shamrock Bull medal from 2016,” says the Fine Gael TD for the Dublin Rathdown constituency and Ireland's Minister of State for International Development and Diaspora.The sport-mad Minister shares examples of the ways these imported American events boost Ireland's economy and provide an ideal platform to advance his ministerial goals of fostering stronger international relations, diaspora engagement, and economic growth.He tells of growing up in a Protestant family with Ulster-Scots roots, right down to his Orange Order grandfather, which hasn't blunted his fatherly pride in his son's embrace of Gaelic Football and the Irish language or his own commitment to a united Ireland.“I'm a passionate United Irelander. I want our country to be united as an independent republic, as part of the European Union. I think that it's in the interest of the over 7.2 million people of all backgrounds that live on this island,” he says, adding, “but one thing I'm really very clear about is that United Ireland will be different. It'll be a new Ireland; it won't be like the republic that I proudly live in today.”He highlights the significance of Ireland's international aid programs particularly in Africa, the evolution of Ireland's diaspora, and the necessity of supporting Irish citizens abroad, including the extension of voting rights for the diaspora in presidential elections.He wraps with an unorthodox “Seamus Plug” for the United Nations, saying that despite its problems, the UN provides a critical forum for international dialogue and that the work of its agencies for Human Rights, Refugees, Family Planning for Women, and its World Food Program all remain vital.Join us!Links:Fine Gael WebpageInstagramFacebookX LinkedInEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 27; Total Episode Count: 130

Latvijas tūrisma biznesā ārzemēs dzīvojošu latviešu potenciāls ir akadēmiski un citādi maz pētīts, taču atziņas nozares ietvaros pastāv. Vasaras atvaļinājumu laikam noslēdzoties, raidījumā Globālais latvietis. 21. gadsimts gribam vērtēt, kādu pienesumu dod diasporas tūrisms dzimtenei. Analizē Latvijas lauku tūrisma asociācijas "Lauku ceļotājs" valdes priekšsēdētāja Asnāte Ziemele, portāla "BalticTravelnews.com" direktors Aivars Mackevičs, biznesa augstskolas "Turība" asociētais profesors Ēriks Lingebērziņš, Laura Perona no Kanādas un Ineta Sējāne, kura dzīvo Spānijā. Skaidrs, ka vasarā diasporas pārstāvji daudz vairāk ierodas Latvijā. Īpaši tādā vasarā, kāda bija aizvadītā, kad norisinājās liels kultūras pasākums - šoreiz Skolu jaunatnes dziesmu un deju svētki, kas arī atveda gana daudz tautiešu uz Latviju kā tūristus. Kādu pienesumu Latvijai dod diasporas tūristi kopumā, un ko paši ārvalstīs dzīvojošie latvieši vēl bez radu un draugu apciemošanas, kas ir neatņemama sastāvdaļa, vislabprātāk dara tai mirklī, kad ir atbraukuši uz Latviju? Ko grib piedzīvot, pieredzēt un apskatīt? Un ko savukārt tūrisma rīkotājiem no tā vajadzētu secināt?

Raconter l'Afrique et ses diasporas à travers leurs sons et leurs musiques, c'est l'objectif d'une exposition immersive au Musée d'ethnographie de Genève, en Suisse. Avec plus de 200 œuvres – archives, instruments anciens et installations contemporaines –, Afrosonica. Paysages sonores embarque le public dans un voyage multisensoriel qui met en lumière le son comme vecteur de connexion, de résistance et de changement. Des tambours et des luths, des gousses de fruits et des cocons d'insectes, des graines et des coquillages : c'est l'Afrique dans toute sa diversité sonore qui se déploie sur 1 000 mètres carrés au Musée d'ethnographie de Genève. Mo Laudi, artiste multidisciplinaire et DJ sud-africain, est co-commissaire de l'exposition : « "Afrosonica" fait référence à une tradition dans les townships de fusionner des mots pour créer de nouvelles significations. Ici, c'est l'idée que l'Afrique est riche ; les minéraux les plus précieux proviennent du Congo et se retrouvent dans nos téléphones portables ; l'or d'Afrique du Sud orne les Rolex. Et quand vous écoutez du rock and roll, il a ses racines en Afrique, tout comme le hip-hop et le jazz. Aujourd'hui, il y a une fierté à affirmer : "Je suis Africain." Il est essentiel de se souvenir de ces racines pour avancer. » Cet ambassadeur de l'afro-électro présente lui-même une création. Inspirée des peintures murales des maisons d'Afrique du Sud, il y mêle plastique recyclé et chants de travail. Avec l'ethnomusicologue canadienne Madeleine Leclair, conservatrice au MEG, les deux commissaires ont puisé dans les 20 000 heures d'archives du musée et passé commande à sept artistes contemporains pour créer un parcours libre où le son est outil de mémoire, de transmission, de contestation. À écouter aussiAfrosonica, paysages sonores au Musée d'Ethnographie de Genève (MEG) Madeleine Leclair : « Les grands mouvements politiques, les grands chamboulements qui ont marqué l'histoire de l'Afrique – la colonisation, décolonisation, indépendance – étaient accompagnés de musique. C'est vraiment un élément fédérateur. Également en Afrique du Sud, à l'époque de l'apartheid notamment, le gouvernement est même allé jusqu'à censurer des enregistrements, de personnages importants dans la contestation rayés du disque. » Une vingtaine de thèmes rythment le parcours, illustrant le pouvoir du son entre révolte et résilience, rituel et réactivation de la mémoire. Des peintures préhistoriques de harpes du Sahara croisent le chant vaudou du Bénin des années 1960, tandis que la rumba congolaise se frotte aux vinyles d'un jukebox. Le public peut assister à un « bain d'oreilles » au Nigeria et se laisser hypnotiser par le vrombissement d'un rhombe, petit objet en os, en bois ou en ivoire, que l'on fait tournoyer au-dessus de la tête à l'aide d'une ficelle. Madeleine Leclair : « Ces rhombes sont mis en mouvement sur les cinq continents, notamment au Brésil, en Australie également, et en Afrique, ça peut aussi être interprété comme la voix des ancêtres. » Et parfois, il suffit d'un bidon d'huile et d'un câble de frein à vélo pour créer une cithare au Burkina Faso et redonner un sens au son. ► L'exposition Afrosonica. Paysages sonores à voir et à écouter au MEG en Suisse jusqu'au 4 janvier 2026.

Tessa K. (28) macht sich Sorgen um ihre beste Freundin Laura, die nach der Trennung vom selbstverliebten Schönling Sören zur antriebslosen Stubenhockerin geworden ist.

The first time Puerto Rican bandleader Willie Rosario heard the word salsa applied to the Cuban-style music he played was in Venezuela, where DJ Phidias Danilo first popularized it. Subsequently applied as a marketing tool by Fania Records in New York, the word quickly became a marker of Puerto Rican identity. We talk to the founding bandleaders of the genre -- Rafael Ithier (El Gran Combo), Quique Lucca (Sonora Ponceña), and Willie Rosario -- and presents immortal hits of early Puerto Rican salsa. Produced by Ned Sublette with José Mandry APWW #207

Why is Jewish leadership failing the very people it claims to serve? In this unfiltered conversation, Adam Scott Bellos—founder, builder, unapologetic strategist—sits down with Jewish Demystified to torch the polite myths and diagnose the rot: the widening gap between institutions and everyday Jews, the addiction to gala dinners, and the influencer economy that treats advocacy like a clout market. We go head-on at the money—how treating “influence” as a commodity leaves Jews permanently outgunned by state-backed players like Qatar—and we ask what a post-glitz model of Jewish power actually looks like. Bellos makes the case for Hebraization (language, culture, sovereignty), community self-defense that doesn't hide behind PR, and leadership that builds, not brands. We talk practical playbooks for protecting our communities without retreating into fear, and why Israel—despite talent and tech—keeps losing the narrative war. Are legacy groups like the ADL helping, or are they just laundering failure? If you're done with performance and hungry for execution, this is the must-listen.---*This episode is dedicated to the refua shelema of Sarah Miriam bat Tamar, Binyamin ben Zilpa, and our dear friend Yaakov ben Haya Sarah Malakh---• Bio: Adam Scott Bellos is a revolutionary voice in Jewish innovation, identity, and culture. As Founder and CEO of The Israel Innovation Fund (TIIF), Adam is reshaping how the world connects to Israel—through wine, language, self-defense, and a cultural revival rooted in Hebraization. A media-savvy strategist and visionary builder, Adam has created bold platforms like Wine on the Vine and Shomrei Ha'Am that bridge Jewish heritage and modern activism. His upcoming book, Never Again Is Not Enough: Why Hebraization Is the Only Way to Save the Diaspora, lays out a sweeping ideological and strategic blueprint for Jewish renewal. With a background in politics, diplomacy, media, and business, Adam fuses storytelling with nation-building. He has advised Israeli leaders, appeared on international news networks, and led campaigns that blend Zionist philosophy with grassroots action. Adam isn't just building projects—he's building a movement. His work champions sovereignty, strength, and the centrality of Hebrew in Jewish life, forging a new model for cultural continuity and global Jewish resilience.---• Check our Adam's projects here: www.adamscottbellos.com---• Welcome to JUDAISM DEMYSTIFIED: A PODCAST FOR THE PERPLEXED | Co-hosted by Benjy & Benzi | Thank you to...Super Patron: Jordan Karmily, Platinum Patron: Craig Gordon, Rod Ilian, Gold Patrons: Dovidchai Abramchayev, Lazer Cohen, Travis Krueger, Vasili Volkoff, Vasya, Silver Patrons: Ellen Fleischer, Daniel M., Rabbi Pinny Rosenthal, Fred & Antonio, Jeffrey Wasserman, and Jacob Winston!

Richie Brave sits down with award-winning journalist, writer and digital content creator Chante Joseph and broadcaster and financial analyst Albie Amankona as they delve into the latest thing that has dominated news headlines the last few weeks: Operation Raise the Colours: where streets, roundabouts and lampposts are being cloaked in the red and white of the St George's Cross and the Union Jack.In this show, they discuss their opposing views and answer the question, does the recent wave of raising the England Flag across the country have racist undertones or is it simply a way to showcase English pride? Separately, this week, we look at the situation that has been unfolding in Sudan. Richie sits down with Sky News Africa Correspondent Yousra Elbagir. Over the past year-plus, she's regularly returned to a country under siege, bearing witness to devastation, not from afar, but up close and through the very places she once called home.

Given that if the majority of Jewish people sin in following an erroneous ruling and they need to bring an offering to atone - who counts as that majority? It excludes the Jews who live in the Diaspora - with a source for that in the book of Kings. Also, how does this kind of majority obviate the views of the minority? And - a new mishnah! When the court issues an erroneous ruling and they realized they were in error and they correct themselves, but there are those who follow the initial ruling - do those people need to bring an offering or not? It will depend on their circumstances and whether they were in the position to hear about the revision to the ruling. Plus, what if the court wants to cancel an entire section of the Torah's law from practice?

In this Hip Deep edition, Afropop producer Wills Glasspeigel heads to South Africa to reveal the story of the inimitable Hugh Tracey, a field recordist born at the turn of the 20th century in England. A wayward youth, Tracey found himself in Africa in the 1920s where he became fascinated with music from Zimbabwe. Tracey became a pioneer field recordist, making over 250 LPs of traditional African music for the Gallo label in South Africa. Like John and Alan Lomax in the US, Tracey was instrumental in preserving hundreds of songs that have since gone extinct. Glasspiegel speaks with Dianne Thram, director of Tracey library in Grahamstown, South Africa; Tracey's son Andrew, a musician and field recordist in his own right; Michael Baird, an expert on the Tracey catalog; and esteemed South African anthropologist David Coplan. We'll also head to Malawi to make a field recording of our own with the help of Malawian singer, Esau Mwamwaya. APWW #590

Believer's Dilemma: Vajpayee and the Hindu Right's Path to Power, 1977-2018 is the much anticipated second volume of author Abhishek Choudhary's biography of former BJP prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The book traces his life from his stint as external affairs minister in the short-lived Janata government to his death in 2018 following a period of prolonged illness.The first volume of this biography, Vajpayee; The Ascent of the Hindu Right, 1924-1977, was widely acclaimed, winning the 2023 Tata Literature First Book Award in 2023. Abhishek Choudhary studied economics in Delhi and Chennai, followed by stints in development and journalism.To discuss part two of this exceptional work, which Ram Guha calls the “finest biography of an Indian prime minister that I have ever read,” Abhishek joins Milan on the podcast this week. They discuss Vajpayee's entry into the Sangh Parivar, his turbulent stint as foreign minister, and his core ideological beliefs. Plus, the two discuss Vajpayee's unique partnership with L.K. Advani and his dealings with Narendra Modi in the aftermath of the 2002 Gujarat riots.Episode notes:1. “Vinay Sitapati on the Political History of the BJP Before Modi,” Grand Tamasha, December 16, 2020.2. “Hindutva Politics in the Diaspora (with Edward Anderson),” Grand Tamasha, June 25, 2025.3. “Savarkar, In His Own Words (with Janaki Bakhle),” Grand Tamasha, March 27, 2024. 

In September 2021, Pope Francis made his first—and only—visit to Slovakia. Despite strict COVID-19 restrictions, thousands of Slovaks traveled across the country for a chance to see the beloved pontiff. Among them were filmmakers Stanislav Piatrik and Mária Piatriková, who documented the historic visit through powerful footage and interviews with notable Slovaks. Their work culminated in the new documentary Návšteva (The Visit). In the first half of this episode, we sit down with the directors to discuss the significance of Pope Francis's visit and their experimental approach to storytelling. In the second half, we continue our series Diaspora on the Airwaves, exploring Slovak media abroad—this time from Szeged, Hungary.

Islam's complex relationship with arts and culture across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia presents special paradoxes and intrigue in the realm of music. Islam has been used both to nurture and curtail musical expression. This program delves into the historic roots of this debate, all the way back to Baghdad in the early centuries of Islam. Case studies highlight sublime and ecstatic music from Iraq, Iran, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Pakistan and more. Author and Middle East specialist Joseph Braude discusses the history and issues with two Islamic scholars. (originally aired 2008) Produced by Banning Eyre APWW #561
