We recently talked about Tamara's trip to the Galapagos but today we are talking more about the logistics about traveling to Ecuador and some travel tips. Tamara spent 17 nights in Ecuador, including 5 nights in the Galapagos and found it a warm and welcoming country with beautiful and diverse landscapes. Amazing Ecuador helped Tamara organize her trip. Episode Highlights Most flights from the U.S. come into Quito or Guayaquil It is only 3.5 hours from Miami There are many regions including the Cloud Forest, Rainforest, volcanoes and mountains, National Parks, Galapagos, and more Tamara spent: 5 nights in the Galapagos, 1 night at Hacienda La Danesa, 2 nights in Cuenca, 1 night in Cotopaxi National Park, 3 nights in Quito, 2 nights in the Cloud Forest at the Mashpi Lodge, 2 nights at Hacienda Zuleta It helps to work with someone to figure out your priorities and build an itinerary around your interests Generally you want to spend at least two to three nights in each place Cuenca is a UNESCO heritage city with plenty of outdoor adventure nearby too Cotopaxi is at a higher elevation, making hikes challenging If you just have a week, fly in and out of Guayaquil and do the Galapagos and Hacienda La Danesa Safety - you need to be very careful after dark in Quito and other cities and beware of pickpockets. Don't walk around after dark, especially alone Ecuador uses the U.S. dollar as their official currency but most places also take credit cards but you will want small bills for tipping and the handicraft markets Many of the hotels are all-inclusive with meals and some activities Ecuador is a huge exporter of roses and through some regions you will see many roadside stands of 25-50 roses for less than $5 Tamara recommends getting a driver because the roads are not very well marked, some aren't in the best condition, Google Maps isn't reliable, and drivers are very aggressive There are a range of four star boutique hotels and luxury hotels Ecuadorian food is very fresh and utilizes year-round produce of veggies and fruit Most meals start with a soup and then have a salad or vegetables. Fish and ceviche is quite popular. Quinoa is a popular grain You shouldn't drink the tap water in Ecuador but the produce at good restaurants and hotels are washed in filtered water Guinea pig is also popular in Ecuador as it is in Peru Chocolate and coffee are also grown in Ecuador and very popular Ecuador is the most densely populated country in South America If you have liked Costa Rica or Belize, you will probably also like Ecuador Related Episodes: Galapagos cruise Mother-daughter trip to Peru Winelands of Chile Chile's Atacama Desert

Vamos a hablar de comportamiento animal, pero hay algo más: Si de niño tu sueño era ir de safari, pero al crecer te has dado cuenta de que la masificación de las reservas es un grave problema medioambiental, es posible que este programa te alegre el día. ¿Hay alternativas más respetuosas? ¿Existen soluciones perfectas? ¿Hay más formas de observar la naturaleza?Para hablar de todo esto contamos con Laura Camón, que estudió biología en la Universidad de Salamanca e hizo un máster de primatología en la Universidad de Gerona. Al terminar sus estudios comenzó a trabajar en el Deutsches Primatenzentrum, en Senegal, tomando datos sobre el comportamiento social de los babuinos de Guinea.

Eye Witness Account on Gaza with Dr. Sarah Lalonde The ongoing genocide occurring in Gaza demands our attention and response. In this bonus episode, we share an interview with Dr. Sarah Lalonde, who worked in the European Gaza hospital in South Gaza in 2025. She shares an eye-witness account of the daily atrocities. Over 50,000 Palestinians have perished, almost half are children. Sifting through all of the disinformation can be difficult, which is why we’ve brought a first hand account to the show to describe what is happening at ground level. An especially important conversation for Christians to listen to, especially those formed, or who remain, in evangelicalism. Some Christian traditions justify the ongoing violence against Palestinians because they believe destroying Palestinians is connected to ushering in the return of Jesus sooner. This abhorrent worldview clearly sidesteps the command, ironically from Jesus, to stand in solidarity with the oppressed–the least of these. This conversation may leave you feeling uncomfortable due to the content, which we make the disclaimer: some of the stories you hear, particularly about children caught in the crossfire, is hard to listen to. But stick with it. Your response to this ongoing genocide matters. Your voice counts when it comes to demanding action for a permanent ceasefire, a complete cancellation of arms sales, and the immediate expansion of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Show Notes: Gregory Mose, an English major, currently lives in Aix-en-Provence where he is the director of international relations and professor of International Law at a small American University program called the American College of the Mediterranean. When he graduated, his parents wanted him to go to Law School, but Greg wanted to travel. He was offered a teaching fellow position at Athens College in Greece, and he fell in love with the place and the experience. He returned to the US and law school at Duke where he met his wife. Working for United Nations Greg's interest in international public international law led him to work for the UN during Yugoslavia's war crimes tribunal research project. He secured a two-year contract with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in Conakry, Guinea, which was a paranoid, isolated place. He worked with refugees there for two years, traveling through Mali, Timbuktu, Dakar, Freetown, Abidjan, and upcountry Guinea. During this time, he helped resettle some people to the United States. Greg's experience in Conakry was both powerful and passionate. He helped resettle some people to the United States who wouldn't be able to be resettled today. However, he returned home underweight and suffering from malaria and PTSD. A Career Changes: Director of International Relations - Stay-at-home Dad Greg joined his fiance in London. After a period of recovery, Greg secured a job in corporate law at an international firm in London. He worked on IPOs and was hired as a young US lawyer in securities practices. After three years, he moved to a London-based firm, Freshfields, Brookhouse, Deringer. Greg and his wife had their son in 2002 and decided to raise their son themselves rather than handing him over to a nanny. He decided to leave his job to write a novel and raise their son while his wife worked at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. They considered downsizing and moving to the English countryside or getting more remote to facilitate a change in lifestyle. However, after spending time in the South West of France, they decided to do something radical and bought a medieval farmhouse and land in the South West of France, near a village called Montcabrier. Village Life in Wine Country Greg describes their experience living in a wine region called the Lot, near the Dordogne, in the southwest. The village had about 30 full-time residents, but most people lived in farmhouses outside the village. The village had a two-room schoolhouse, a bakery, and a mayor's office. Greg and his family rented out renovated three holiday cottages in summers to families with small children. They built a playground, swimming pool, and a beautiful field on their property. Greg also shares his experiences with their neighbors. He also learned how to use a chainsaw and finished his novel, Stunt Road. However, as their son grew older, they decided they needed a bigger centre with more activities and schools. They moved to Aix-en-Provence. Working in Education Greg didn't know what he was going to do there, but they enrolled their son in the International School where he was hired to teach a critical thinking course called Theory of Knowledge at the International Baccalaureate program. He became a high school teacher for 10 years and realized his love for teaching, and eventually wanted to teach at university. He decided to pursue a PhD program at French universities, which were affordable. The tuition for a PhD was about $500 a year. Greg mentions the benefits of social programs in France. He eventually became a full-time professor at the American College in Aix and runs a master's program in international relations. Integration with French Culture Greg's life is different from what people think it is like living in Southern France. He finds it challenging to integrate into the country. In the rural areas, French culture is radically different, with people being warm but also private. Weekends are spent with family, and they do not easily invite people into their homes. However, he finds warmth in the greetings and the respect shown to others. This reinforces a tradition of treating each other as equals and respect. He also talks about how his students from abroad adjust to French culture. Back to London and Recovery Greg thinks back to 1998 when he arrived in North London with his fiance and was unemployed. He had been working at UNHCR, which provided decent pay. However, he was always physically cold and underweight due to his previous experiences with malaria and the constant heat in the tropical climate. He was exhausted from the work and the influx of refugees during the renewed violence in Freetown. One of his bouts of malaria occurred while doing a refugee census in the forest region. He spent three days in a room full of bugs and had limited access to food. He talks about how he broke down and found it was cathartic for him. He talks about a particularly difficult time, and how he teaches a course on armed conflict, linking it to genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and refugees. Large glass He often shares anecdotes from his time there, but admits that sometimes he struggles to get through them. Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Greg mentions his first year English course with Helen Vendler. He recalls a kind act of kindness from her. He also mentions professor Burriss Young, who was the Associate Dean of freshmen at the time and lived in Mass Hall. Burriss was an archeologist, and he invited students to tea in his apartment filled with archeological artifacts. This made his first year at Harvard a magical experience. Greg, coming from LA, idealized Harvard. He had a wonderful time in Cabot House, and Greg believes that these experiences will be a lasting memory for him.

Guinea's legendary dance band, Bembeya Jazz, are a pillar of modern West African history. Begun in 1961 in the flush of Guinea's independence and Sekou Toure's maverick presidency, the band played under the inspired leadership of guitar giant Sekou "Bembeya" Diabate. This program delves into Bembeya history with a focus on the band's 60s and 70s heyday, right up to more recent solo work by Sekou Diabate. In the current age of Afrobeats and digital production that is helping to supplant dance bands across the continent, Bembeya's music stands the test of time for its rich mesh of tradition and swing band drive.

Mikkel Vestergaard isn't a typical aerospace founder. Before building solar-powered stratospheric airships, he spent two decades in humanitarian innovation, distributing a billion malaria nets, co-creating the LifeStraw, and helping eradicate Guinea worm disease. Now, as CEO of Sceye, he's applying that same ethos to aerospace.In this conversation, Mikkel dives deep into the origins, design, and future of High-Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS). We explore why the stratosphere is emerging as a new layer of infrastructure, filling the gap between satellites and towers, and how Sceye's helium-filled, solar-powered airships could reshape internet connectivity, earth observation, and national security.We cover:Why Mikkel pivoted from global health to aerospaceThe engineering that makes persistent stratospheric flight possibleHow Sceye closes the “power loop” to stay aloft for monthsCommercial applications from telecom to methane detectionStrategic partnerships with SoftBank, América Móvil, and MawaridThe defense potential of HAPSThe business model behind “infrastructure as a service”What it takes to build investor conviction around a platform that feels left-field• Chapters •00:00 – Intro01:52 – Life before Sceye02:51 – Work at Lifestraw06:31 – What is Lifestraw?07:50 – Making the pivot from global health to aerospace and working at Sceye10:52 – HAPS or High-Altitude Platform Systems12:25 – Why choose a balloon over a fixed wing aircraft?14:04 – Types of payloads16:06 – Not Hindenburg 2.016:48 – How Mikkel's earlier material science experience shaped Sceye's design decisions18:09 – Pitching Sceye to investors19:16 – Common misconceptions of stratospheric platforms20:41 – What can HAPS do for the telecommunications industry?25:03 – How many HAPS would we need to provide global coverage?25:24 – Sceye's equity investor partners26:00 – When Sceye will be fully commercialized28:34 – Other use cases31:33 – Advantages over satellites32:34 – National security use cases33:31 – The business model of HAPS34:52 – Sceye's next iteration of customers35:40 – How Sceye is building their team36:56 – Manufacturing process and scaling37:53 – Capital to scale38:25 – What keeps Mikkel up at night39:38 – What does success to Sceye look like • Show notes •SCEYE's website — https://sceye.com/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

This week, Dave is drinking again! United Airlines will do that to you, even after a 6-month hiatus. After a pair of un-stuffy mini-reviews of “Superman” (2025) and “Eddington”, the boys head back to 2003 to discuss the legendary film year. Our featured conversation is a first-time visit to “House of Sand and Fog”, the Sir Ben Kingsley, Jennifer Connelly, and Shohreh Aghdashloo film, directed by Vadim Perelman, shot by Roger Deakens, scored by James Horner, which is a powerhouse drama so powerful it nabbed two acting Oscar nominations. None of those was for Jennifer Connelly, who won for “A Beautiful Mind” the year before. Grab a beer and give us a listen! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

Después de nueve meses del secuestro del padre Wifredo Guinea Ramos, director de la empresa editorial La Buena Prensa, su cuerpo fue desenterrado en un predio de Iztapalapa, donde sus secuestradores lo habían sepultado, pese haber cobrado el rescate de tres millones de pesos.El plagio del sacerdote jesuita Guinea Ramos, efectuado en el rumbo de San Ángel la noche del martes 17 de junio de 1997, no fue muy difundido, primero para tratar de salvarle la vida a la víctima y, luego, porque en esos días, paradójicamente todos los medios de comunicación destinaban sus primeras planas a la ejecución del mexicano Irineo Tristán -en una cárcel de Estados Unidos- a quien le fue aplicada la inyección letal.Puedes conocer más de este y otros casos en los Archivos secretos de La Prensa.

This week, the boys get trippy with the 1980 psychedelic sci-fi transformation drama “Altered States”, a film so divisive that writer Paddy Chayefsky put his three Oscars in a closet and penned his adaptation of his own novel under a pseudonym. The Ken Russell-directed film introduced the film world to William Hurt and let Bob Balaban keep his beard, and it also unleashed Bigfoot on major metropolises. We also revisit F1: The Movie, give some context to the film year 1980, before engaging in our featured conversation. Grab a beer and give us a listen! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

Kyle Perrin flies an imprint black sparrowhawk. He joins me this week to talk about his bird, his dogs, and his desire to pursue helmeted guinea fowl, catching them on the rise after a long, open slip. Kyle explains why he chose to fly a black spar, including how he manages his hawk to ensure she remains feather perfect. He also gives us some insight into the main differences between the African goshawk and the black spar. Guinea fowl can be flown all year round and Kyle talks about how he manages the timing of molt to cater to available mid-winter daylight hours. We then turn our attention to his preferred quarry - the guinea fowl - and a description of his hawking grounds, and the origin story of this particular black spar. Kyle explains the approach that his is going to take in an effort to achieve the hawking style he prefers, and he tells us about his approach to developing a well-adjusted short-wing. We conclude the episode talking about Kyle's most recent outing, and his hawk's sudden change in heart when it comes to chasing "fur". I hope you enjoy this episode. Thanks for listening.
This week, the boys go treasure hunting with John Huston's 1948 masterpiece “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre”. Dave and Jeff hadn't seen it before, John has seen it several times because he's a fancy film school nerd bro, so we grab a few whiskeys and beers and talk about it! We also catch up on the California tax credit news for film and entertainment, John gives some spoiler-free mini-reviews of “28 Years Later” and “F1”, and we fill you in on all the happenings of 1948 to add context to our feature conversation, which may help you understand why the movie was not a financial hit… at first.

Edgar González Corral emprendió su primer gran viaje en moto el 4 de agosto de 2024. Durante más de cinco meses, atravesó Marruecos, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, Guinea-Bisáu, Guinea y Sierra Leona, antes de regresar por la misma ruta a España el 20 de enero de 2025, habiendo recorrido 20.000 kilómetros. Viajó en solitario la mayor parte del tiempo, salvo los primeros y últimos 20 días, en los que estuvo acompañado por su novia en la misma moto. Con la intención de viajar despacio, conocer a la gente y disfrutar de la naturaleza, este viaje representó un cambio radical en su vida: dejó su trabajo como biólogo en Oviedo y se lanzó a la carretera con una Yamaha XT600 E del 2001, sin experiencia previa en viajes largos en moto. Su objetivo inicial era dar la vuelta a África, pero pronto comprendió que el tiempo disponible no era suficiente. ⚠️ Más información y fotos en: https://bit.ly/edgar-gonzalez ❤️ ¿Te gusta este podcast?

The Friday market in Ventimiglia, an Italian town on the border with France, is alive with the bustle of French tourists who come weekly to buy goods. The sounds of music, bargaining and laughter fill the air, but there's also an oblivious tension. The Italian police move through the crowd, routinely stopping people — particularly racialized individuals — to ask for documents. "Permesso di soggiorno, ce l'hai?" ("Do you have a residence permit?") echoes sharply as two Tunisian minors are questioned. In the background, the mechanical tune of a police radio punctuates the scene as the police have a quick casual conversation on Ecuadorians, these voices blend uneasily with the market's lively hum. Here, the ordinary rhythms of commerce coexist with the heavy presence of surveillance at the border, where every passing moment is marked by an invisible line. You can also here my voice in the background, a light-hearted exchange unfolds—me chatting with a French lady and a sellers from Guinea and Italy, who try to guess where I am originally from. Recorded by Masha Hassan.
Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking. Professor Akyeampong is the former Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Harvard University Center for African Studies and the Ellen Gurney Professor of History and of African and African American Studies at Harvard University. He joined the History faculty at Harvard upon receiving his Ph.D. in African History from the University of Virginia in 1993. He received his master's degree at Wake Forest University in North Carolina in 1989, where he concentrated on English labor history, and his bachelor's degree in History and Religions from the University of Ghana at Legon in 1984. Professor Akyeampong is currently the Ellen Gurney Professor of Professor Akyeampong's publications include Themes in West Africa's History (2005), which he edited; Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (2023); Between the Sea and the Lagoon: An Eco-Social History of the Anlo of Southeastern Ghana, 1850 to Recent Times (2001); and Drink, Power and Cultural Change: A Social History of Alcohol in Ghana, c. 1800 to Present Times (1996). He was a co-chief editor with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., for the Dictionary of African Biography, 6 Vols. (2012). Professor Akyeampong has been awarded several research fellowships, and from 1993 to 1994, he was the Zora Neale Hurston Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study and Research in the African Humanities at Northwestern University. He was named a Corresponding Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 2002, and was nominated to be a Fellow of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2018 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws by the University of Ghana. At Harvard, Professor Akyeampong is a faculty associate for the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs and a member of the executive committee of the Hutchins Center. As a former chair of the Committee on African Studies, he has been instrumental, along with Professor Gates, in creating the Department of African and African American Studies and formerly served as the Oppenheimer Faculty Director of the Center for African Studies.

Independent Africa: The First Generation of Nation Builders (Indiana UP, 2023)explores Africa's political economy in the first two full decades of independence through the joint projects of nation-building, economic development, and international relations. Drawing on the political careers of four heads of states: Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, Ahmed Sékou Touré of Guinea, Léopold Sédar Senghor, and Julius Kambarage Nyerere of Tanzania, Independent Africa engages four major themes: what does it mean to construct an African nation-state and what should an African nation-state look like; how does one grow a tropical economy emerging from European colonialism; how to explore an indigenous model of economic development, a "third way," in the context of a Cold War that had divided the world into two camps; and how to leverage internal resources and external opportunities to diversify agricultural economies and industrialize. Combining aspects of history, economics, and political science, Independent Africa examines the important connections between the first generation of African leaders and the shared ideas that informed their endeavors at nation-building and worldmaking.

This week, the boys head back to 2007 to spin another Roger Deakins film, “No Country For Old Men”, currently streaming on Paramount+. While other shows have covered the film, we shoot from the hip and discuss how it felt to re-watch it and what it means to us. F those other stuffy critic narcs. The cinematographer from Dave's homeland had a helluva a year with three award-winning films, this one winning Best Picture at the Oscars, and cementing the Coen Brothers as industry elites, much to their Chigurh (that's a movie joke). Yeah, it beat “There Will Be Blood”. We talk about it a bit. John also opens with his “MI” and “Friendship” takes. Grab a beer and hear our thoughts. Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

This week, the boys pull up their dacks, lace up their blunnies, pull over their cardies, eat a bikkie, grab a tinny, and lob in for the Ridgy Didge himself, Baz Luhrmann's first feature film, “Strictly Ballroom”. This isn't any ear bashing- we loved it! It made us three happy little Vegemites. After Jeff gives a quick mini-review of “Mission: Impossible— The Final Reckoning”, our native Aussie and gutless wonder, Dave, knackered from a good hissy at his lappy, guides us through this absolute hooley dooley.

The boys head to Japan this week to discuss Akira Kurosawa's “Yojimbo”. Starring Toshiro Mifune, the film is considered one of the most influential movies of all time. It's so influential that an entire series of westerns ripped it off so good they couldn't be released in the US for years due to threats of lawsuits. Anyway, this film is awesome, but did the boys think it stands up to the other Kurosawa greats? Grab a beer and tune in! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.

BIO: Oeystein Kalleklev is the outgoing CEO of Flex LNG and Avance Gas. He has prior experience as CFO of Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers and Umoe Group and Chairman General Partner of MLP KNOT Offshore Partners.STORY: Oeystein has been part of some terrible investments made by his employers. One invested $150 million to become the biggest shareholder of a mine in Guinea, which was lost due to a bad regime. During the great financial crisis, another invested $300 million into a bioethanol plant in Brazil.LEARNING: In a dynamic industry like shipping, you must think more about adapting and being tactical rather than strategic. “You have to be really disciplined when you are in a cyclical industry. Observe where the market is going, and learn how to adapt.”Oeystein Kalleklev Guest profileOeystein Kalleklev is the outgoing CEO of Flex LNG (NYSE/OSE: FLNG) and Avance Gas (OSE: AGAS). He has prior experience as CFO of Knutsen NYK Offshore Tankers and Umoe Group, as well as Chairman General Partner of MLP KNOT Offshore Partners (NYSE: KNOP).Worst investment everOeystein has been part of some terrible investments. In one case, a family Oeystein worked for had invested about $150 million to become the biggest shareholder of a mine in Guinea. The country was under an unstable regime, and the leader was assassinated. There were also so many operational hiccups operationally. That $150 million turned out to be like $3 million when they sold their last share.He has also been involved in bioethanol production in Brazil, where a company he worked for invested about $300 million into a bioethanol plant in Brazil during the great financial crisis. The bosses had to restructure the whole company, and Oeystein had to go to the US to talk to bondholders, trying to get them to choose whether to become shareholders or take a big hit on the bond loans.In another case, Oeystein was involved in a nickel mine in the Philippines where the company he was working for was building a floating production ship for oil. The budget was $280 million, but the company spent $500 million on that building project, and it also took one and a half extra years to complete.Lessons learnedWhen you have such a dynamic industry as shipping, you must think more about adapting and being tactical rather than strategic.Focus on running your ships efficiently—it's a critical success factor.Shipping is a lot about market timing. Read the market, know where it is going, when you should exit, and when you should invest.You have to be knowledgeable about technology because technology changes quite often in shipping.Be smart about running a shipping company. Do it lean and follow the technology.Andrew's takeawaysIt's hard to set a long-term strategy in an industry such as shipping because you've got to adapt to what's happening in the market.You have to run ships efficiently, or else you will miss the core aspect of your business.Actionable adviceIf you want to venture into the shipping industry, you must properly understand shipping because it's not as straightforward as people think. It's not just about moving goods from A to B.No.1 goal for the next 12 monthsOeystein's number one goal for the next 12 months is to read more books to be on top of contemporary issues and be a successful shipping...
Derrell Sekou Walker teaches West African dance to elementary and middle schoolers at two Portland public schools. He loves his job, but as the founder and artistic director of Sebé Kan Youth African Dance Company, he is bringing his love of this art form — along with the feelings of joy and freedom it inspires — to the larger community. He first formed Sebé Kan more than 20 years ago, but since 2018, he’s been focused on teaching the dance traditions from Mali, Guinea, Ivory Coast and other West African nations to children and youth. On May 16, the company will present a one night only, multigenerational dance performance and concert called “Mobaya: A Coming of Age” at Portland’s Newmark Theatre. Walker joins us, along with his wife Karida Walker, who is a dancer in the troupe; and high school senior Nylah Jae Holt, who has been dancing with Sebé Kan since she was 8 years old.
