Namibië en Zimbabwe speel Saterdag in die eindstryd van die 2025 Rugby Afrikabeker nadat die twee spanne hul halfeindronde wedstryde teen onderskeidelik Algerië en Kenia in Kampala, Uganda, gewen het. Saterdag kan daar net een wees – die wenner kwalifiseer vir 'n plek by die Mansrugby Wêreldbeker in Australië in 2027. Namibië se onder-kaptein Danco Burger sê Namibiërs moet bankvas agter die span staan.

Het politieke jaar 2024-2025 zat tjokvol enerverende en ontregelende gebeurtenissen. Het was heel erg '1981' en ook '2002'. Saai was het niet, maar werden we er nou 'beter' van? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger kijken nog één keer terug op 12 maanden Dick Schoof, coalitie en Kamer, ontwarren de patronen die allengs merkbaar werden en zoeken naar lessen voor straks. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Bovendien bleek de coalitie leiderloos door intens onderling wantrouwen. Het kabinet ontbeerde leiderschap doordat de vicepremiers ook intern geen gezag konden verwerven en de premier dat nadrukkelijk niet mócht vertonen. Patroon 2) Zo ontstond een politiek vacuüm En zoiets wordt - zoals in de natuur - altijd gevuld. Een lange rij incoherente hobby's, fitties en obsessies bepaalde het beeld. Van crises rond vijf lintjes tot Deense borden die niet bestonden. Van een Constitutioneel Hof dat subiet wegbezuinigd werd tot de vuist op tafel in Brussel over stikstof. De coalitie leek zelf nog het meest op juist dat stikstof. Hobyisme verlamde het kabinet en zette het land op slot. Patroon 3) Hobbyisme drukt expertise weg Bij het dominante thema – asiel - bleek nimmer iets in de concrete aanpak te kloppen en was de aangekondigde wetgeving steeds een misgreep. Marjolein Fabers 'Ik ben beleid' was onbedoeld oprecht in haar absolutisme: 'L'État c'est moi.' De coalitie baarde zo het Kabinet Dunning-Kruger in plaats van het team van experts, dat NSC zo graag wilde. Eén minister liet zijn hond het overleg met zijn ambtenaren leiden. Patroon 4) Het Torentje en de ministerraad gemarginaliseerd Wilders trok de leiding naar zich toe bij gebrek aan gezag elders. Van btw tot Voorjaarsnota moest hij aan de bak bij reeksen conflicten en blokkades. De ministers en de premier zaten soms letterlijk te wachten in de antichambre van hun departement. Patroon 5) Nederland was internationaal afwezig De coalitie kwam wel met oprispingen wereldwijd. Van Wilders die de staat Jordanië ophief tot minister Reinette Klever die met minister Jeje Odongo in Kampala wel even de asielopvang dacht te regelen. Met de motie-Eerdmans werd het kabinet door driekwart van de coalitie binnen de EU lamgelegd. Patroon 6) Er kwam een boel namaakbeleid Men kondigde hervormingen en daden aan waarop niets volgde of precies het omgekeerde. Van een regionaal kiesstelsel tot 3% van het bbp voor innovatie. Van impulsen voor 'hardwerkend Nederland' en een 'Woontop' tot extra lasten op werkenden en een dreun voor de investeringen in de woningbouw. Welke lessen kunnen we trekken? Les 1) Het einde van de Donner-doctrine Na de LPF in 2002, de PVV in 2010-2012 en PVV/NSC/BBB in 2024-2025 weten we nu toch wel dat de gedachte 'laat populisten meeregeren, dan normaliseren ze' een misverstand is. Les 2) Reconstructie van een serieus midden? Dat hangt nu van twee partijen af. Voeren VVD en GroenLinks-PvdA - zoals in de jaren ‘70 - een polarisatiestrategie? Of kiezen ze tegen de flanken en voor het midden? Les 3) Saai is goed De Schoof-periode heeft in elk geval geleid tot herwaardering van berekenbaarheid en gedegenheid als politieke deugden. Diva-gedoe, gratis bier en labiliteit; feitenvrije meningen en heibel hebben veel te veel aandacht gekregen.

In 2012, a Ugandan TV host asked trans activist Pepe Julian Onziema a now-infamous question: “Why are you gay?” The clip went viral, spawning internet fodder around the world – but behind the memes lies a chilling reality. In this episode of Rights & Wrongs, host Ngofeen Mputubwele looks at Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Act, a 2023 law that punishes same-sex intimacy with life in prison or even death. He speaks with “Emmanuel,” a young man in Kampala whose Grindr date turned into a violent police sting. Human Rights Watch researcher Oryem Nyeko explains how the law has fueled mob violence, extortion, and fear. But amid the repression, mothers of queer children are speaking up, leading the resistance in one of the world's harshest anti-LGBT climates.

The Medellín maverick opens RA.997 with another mind-altering home run. As part of our countdown to the 1000th edition of the RA Podcast, a milestone in the 18-year history of Resident Advisor's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. This week, following heady excursions through Lagos, Kampala, Detroit and Chicago, our focus shifts to Latin America—arguably the story in underground electronic music since the pandemic. After years of being all but overlooked internationally, the explosion of distinctive club sounds emerging from Peru, Brazil, Colombia and beyond has finally begun to get its due. Among the movement's great success stories are two artists who exemplify its refreshingly undogmatic energy: Verraco and Bitter Babe, and the former handles the A-side of RA.997. Is there a more compelling electronic artist around right now? Both in the studio and behind the decks, the Medellín-based DJ and producer currently sits in that coveted creative sweet spot, where every fresh musical morsel feels like a moment. To bask in any of his singular tracks on VOAM, Timedance and now XL Recordings, is to be bowled over by their rhythmic brilliance, madcap hooks and whirlpool basslines. ("Basic Maneuvers," anyone?) His mix is tough to pin down—a blend of dubby techno, tribal atmospheres, slanted bass and sharp edits. Or, as he puts it in the accompanying interview: “an intersection between dub-infused techno but with some flow, reduced atmospheric tribal, edgy bass cuts, mental emo-tek.” There's plenty of unreleased TraTraTrax material here, alongside tracks from artists like Virginia, A Made Up Sound and a euphoric flip of Ploy's “Ramos.” Slippery, emotional and surgically precise, it's Verraco doing what he does best.

Bitter Babe takes the second half of RA.997, revelling in the fullness of the Latin electronic continuum. As part of our countdown to the 1000th edition of the RA Podcast, a milestone in the 18-year history of Resident Advisor's weekly mix series, we're switching up the usual format. This week, following heady excursions through Lagos, Kampala, Detroit and Chicago, our focus shifts to Latin America—arguably the story in underground electronic music since the pandemic. After years of being all but ignored internationally, the glut of special club sounds coming out of Peru, Brazil, Colombia and beyond have finally received their flowers. Among the movement's great success stories are two artists who exemplify its refreshingly undogmatic energy: Verraco and Bitter Babe. Bitter Babe, naturally, takes the B. As a DJ, she reflects the fullness of the Latin electronic experience—"diverse, messy, emotional, political and full of contradictions," as she says in her interview. Her rollicking rides through guaracha, dembow, cumbia, techno and everything in between are powerful counters to anyone who believes the culture begins and ends with Shakira and Bad Bunny. And, as she'd like to remind everyone, "not every offbeat rhythm with Latin percussion is reggaeton." Skip through the 60-minute mix and you'll hear wildly different rhythms at every juncture. Surely, you might assume, at the expense of flow? And yet enjoyed (as intended) from start to finish, the tunes gel like milk and honey, each silky transition subtly phasing in fresh tones and percussive flourishes. It's fast, feverish and intensely riveting. Find the tracklist and interview at ra.co/podcast/1001

A cheap, eco-friendly flooring system is helping to improve health and bring down construction costs in Uganda. The clay-based earthen floors use local earth instead of cement, helping to reduce carbon emissions, and when replacing traditional mud floors, help reduce dust as well as disease-causing pests. The Ugandan company racing to install it is EarthEnable, which specializes in this sustainable, affordable system. The flooring is a better option than more rudimentary materials used by those living in poverty, which tend to attract a lot of dust and pests that can damage health. “In the villages, people use cow dung to maybe take away the dust, but within the shortest time, like in two days, you see that the dust has come. And basically, this floor will help that person come out of the dust,” explains Alex Wanda, a construction officer at EarthEnable. The raw components are easily available, even here in Jinja, which is 130 kilometers from the capital Kampala. All they need to do is dig the murram, which makes up the majority of the flooring and is right there. It's mixed with sand and water and then compacted. Then it's left to dry out for two weeks before more material is applied, and it's topped off with a sealant made from clay and varnish. It is cheaper and responsible for far fewer carbon emissions than cement flooring. “For the cement floor, it is expensive. Why? The client will have to buy cement, will have to buy the gravel, will also have to buy sand and in big quantities, and all that is money, vis-a-vis earthen floor. For us, we need only murram, and you find out that the client doesn't feel like maybe you are oppressing him. It's very easy. He directs you where the murram is, you dig it and bring it to the site, and you start construction,” says Wanda. EarthEnable says their flooring system is also more hygienic—it's easier to keep homes clean and pests out. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Part A of a two-sided mix from two Nyege Nyege all-stars. Nyege Nyege is synonymous with radical sonic innovation. Since 2015, the boundary-pushing Ugandan festival and its associated label have become a vital hub for adventurous, experimental sounds emerging from East Africa and beyond. Its alumni roster includes some of the past decade's most thrilling and forward-thinking artists—DJ Travella, Nihiloxica, MC Yallah, and even New York's newly-elected mayor, Zohran Mamdani. In the process, the collective has reimagined what club music can be. Kampala-based Kampire has been a core member of the collective since the label's inception. Her mixes often feel like a lesson in musicology: weaving together narratives, tempos and genres while losing nothing in dance floor vitality. These talents are reflected in her contribution to RA.995. A typically kaleidoscopic blend of tough percussive workouts, infectious edits and raw, unreleased gems, the hour-long mix spans batida, singeli, bruxaria and countless more urgent sounds from the global underground. Then there's the enigmatic DJ TOBZY. At the tender age of 23, he's at the forefront of the effervescent cruise scene in his adopted hometown of Lagos. Breakneck, unpolished and fiercely DIY, it's a sound Giulio Pecci described as "a delirious blur of vocals and drums, influenced by other African dance music styles but moving only to its own strange, internal logic." TOBZY's mix captures the frenetic energy of a scene evolving in real time. Presented together, as the first edition of a new format marking the countdown to RA.1000, this mix offers a bracing snapshot of a label that has redefined electronic music over the last decade.

What happens when a generation of preachers rises up without mentors? In this energising and deeply personal talk, Rev Raymond L. Bukenya challenges pastors and leaders to take the biblical call to mentoring preachers seriously—for the health of the church today and the sake of gospel clarity tomorrow.Drawing from Scripture, history, and personal experience, Raymond argues that preaching mentorship is not optional—it is essential. He diagnoses why mentoring is often lacking in African church contexts, explains what faithful mentoring should look like, and calls preachers to pass on both sound doctrine and godly character.Along the way, Raymond shares colourful and memorable analogies—including one involving barbecues and pig ears—that bring this vital message to life. His passion for raising up the next generation of faithful preachers comes through every moment of this talk. Recorded in September 2024, Kampala, UgandaRev Raymond L. Bukenya is the team leader and a founding member of Tru Tangazo Uganda. He is passionate about proclaiming, clarifying, and affirming the truth claims of the Christian faith in an increasingly sceptical world amidst alternative worldviews, and trains and mentors others to do the same. He is a theologian, Christian apologist, and missiologist with training from Wycliffe Hall College (University of Oxford) and the Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics (OCCA), and holds a Masters in Missions from the University of Winchester. Raymond serves as a Theology Tutor with Calvary Chapel Bible College Kampala and The Shepherds Academy (an online theological college), where he teaches pastors, pastoral apprentices, and church planters. He is a family man, married to Lynn, and together they are raising seven children—four boys and three girls.If you care about faithful preaching—whether you've stood behind a pulpit once or a thousand times—you'll be challenged to pursue the kind of mentoring that shapes both the messenger and the message.Register for our next in person training event August 22-23, 2025 St Petersburg, Florida Calvary Chapel St. Petersburg https://expositorscollective.org/gatherings/The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

From Kapeke's monster anthem “Kaba” to Joshua Baraka's viral “Wrong Places,” this mix showcases the latest Kidandali, Lugaflow, Ug-dancehall, and Afro-pop coming out of the 256. Curated and blended live by DJ Simple Simon (Supremacy Sounds).

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. When we learn to share the Gospel, we become part of something eternal. This past September, Samuel walked into our ministry's offices in Uganda. Homeless, jobless, and abandoned, he'd spent nights on the streets of Kampala, desperate and hopeless. He told us, “I thought about ending my life so many times…I just needed someone to talk to.” And that's when he met Francis. Francis listened, and he shared the Gospel. In just 25 minutes, Samuel surrendered his life to Jesus, tears streaming down his face. He received a Bible, prayer, and a bus ticket home. And just four days later—Samuel got a job offer just out of the blue! Today, he's working and growing in his faith at a local church in his hometown. God works through believers who'll bring hope to people like Samuel. But it's our job to be ready to share! Not sure how to share your faith?

Un jour après la tenue à Kampala en Ouganda d'un sommet des chefs d'États du Mécanisme de suivi de l'accord-cadre pour la paix, la sécurité et la coopération pour la RDC et la région, qui a vu Yoweri Museveni prendre la tête de cette initiative, retour sur le bilan d'un énième mécanisme instauré pour tenter de ramener la paix dans l'Est du Congo, en proie à l'instabilité depuis des décennies. Un empilement qui peut semer la confusion auprès des populations victimes, selon Christoph Vogel. Il est le grand invité Afrique de Esdras Ndikumana.  RFI : Nous sommes au lendemain d'un sommet des chefs d'État du mécanisme de suivi de L'accord-cadre pour la paix, la sécurité et la coopération pour la RDC et la région. Certaines voix critiques parlent d'un énième mécanisme qui n'est pratiquement d'aucune utilité. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Christoph Vogel : L'accord-cadre, ça fait longtemps qu'il a été créé. C'est un accord qui est sur le papier pas mauvais parce que justement, il est assez détaillé, il est assez compréhensif. Par contre, le souci avec cet accord se pose beaucoup plus sur le point de l'implémentation, parce qu'il y a de nombreuses provisions de cet accord qui n'ont pas été implémentées.Mais concrètement, est-ce qu'il y a certains éléments qui étaient prévus, qui ont été mis en œuvre ? Il y a pas mal d'aspects qui ont été mis en œuvre de manière embryonnaire, notamment lorsque cet accord était encore frais et jeune. Et c'est aujourd'hui que cet accord revient sur la table, mais il est accompagné aujourd'hui aussi de nombreuses autres initiatives de paix. Ce qui peut créer une friction, évidemment, entre des processus qui ont lieu en parallèle.Depuis la reprise de la guerre à l'est de la RDC en 2022, les initiatives de paix se succèdent, d'abord africaine avec le processus de Nairobi et celui de Luanda. Puis ces deux processus ont fusionné. Deux nouveaux processus sont apparus avec Doha et Washington, qui semblent plus prometteurs. Comment l'expliquez-vous ? C'est assez compliqué parce qu'évidemment, on ne sait pas tout de ce qui se dit derrière les coulisses. Ce qu'on sait, c'est que pour le cas de Doha, le Qatar a été derrière les coulisses, assez impliqué, aussi dans une optique de la politique étrangère qatarie pour le cadre des efforts américains. Évidemment, c'est fortement lié à cette envie du nouveau gouvernement américain de revendiquer sa place en tant que puissance globale qui cherche à maintenir ses intérêts dans différentes parties du monde, inclus la région des Grands Lacs.Est-ce que vous pensez que l'implication de la première puissance mondiale avec Trump, cette fois-ci, ça peut être la bonne ? Alors, c'est un couteau à double tranchant. D'un côté, le poids et la puissance américaine peut évidemment se traduire dans une force capable de rassembler les différentes parties au conflit actuel. De l'autre côté, il y a aussi certains observateurs qui se demandent justement quels sont les intérêts stratégiques américains qui vont au-delà de cette volonté de juste essayer de contribuer à une voie pour la paix.Depuis des décennies, on constate que lorsqu'une initiative ne marche pas dans la recherche de la paix à l'est de la RDC, la réponse est apparemment de créer une autre initiative tout en gardant la première. Est-ce que tout cela ne conduit pas à une certaine confusion et une certaine cacophonie ? Évidemment, cette pléthore d'initiatives et de tentatives qui se succèdent et qui d'ailleurs coexistent peut créer justement cette image de confusion. Il faut voir que si, par exemple, une initiative particulière n'aboutit pas, évidemment, dans ce cas-là, ça serait bien d'un côté de fusionner et harmoniser ces processus ou formellement mettre fin à certaines initiatives pour permettre plus de place à des processus alternatifs et ainsi, de diminuer ce sentiment de confusion qui peut évidemment être créé parmi les populations concernées. Entre temps, il y a une nouvelle donne qui vient d'apparaître à l'est de la RDC, l'ancien président Joseph Kabila. Est-ce que son entrée en jeu au grand jour est de nature à changer la nature du conflit auquel on assiste ? Alors, évidemment, le président Kabila, qui a été à la tête de la RDC pendant 17 ans, reste une figure de poids sur la scène politique, non seulement en RDC, mais aussi à travers toute la région. Et c'est ainsi que son entrée dans le jeu visible et tangible suite à quand même aussi plusieurs mois de rumeurs qui ont déjà un peu annoncé cela depuis peut être un élément qui réorganise certains processus et certaines coalitions entre les autres acteurs. Par contre, en l'absence d'une déclaration à Goma, ce n'est pas encore tout à fait clair, ni de savoir à quel niveau cela va changer les différentes initiatives qui sont déjà en cours, ni non plus comment sera le positionnement final du président Kabila ?À lire aussiEst de la RDC: «Faites taire les armes», lance le chef de l'ONU

Spontaneous adverse event reporting from healthcare professionals and patients is a cornerstone in pharmacovigilance systems. Unfortunately, it is a well-known issue that only a fraction of events is reported. To further complicate matters, poor quality reports present a significant challenge for pharmacovigilance assessors. In Uganda, several new routes have been introduced to facilitate reporting for patients and healthcare professionals, including email, WhatsApp and the Med Safety smartphone app. Henry Zakumumpa is a researcher at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda. He has recently performed a qualitative study to learn more about drivers and obstacles for quality in adverse event reporting from patients and healthcare professionals in Uganda. He joins the Drug Safety Matters studio to help us get a more nuanced picture of challenges and opportunities around the issue.  Tune in to find out:Why are HIV patients in Uganda reluctant to report adverse events to their healthcare providers?What are the challenges with reporting via WhatsApp?How can regulators and PV centres foster better quality in incoming adverse event reports? Want to know more?Listen to Henry talk about the safety of HIV medications in this 2022 episode of Drug Safety Matters.Visit this CARTA (Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa) profile page to learn more about Henry's research.Improving the spontaneous reporting of suspected adverse drug reactions: An overview of systematic reviews (British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2023)Improving adverse drug event reporting by healthcare professionals (Cochrane Database Systematic Review, 2024) Join the conversation on social mediaFollow us on Facebook, LinkedIn, X, or Bluesky and share your thoughts about the show with the hashtag #DrugSafetyMatters.Got a story to share?We're always looking for new content and interesting people to interview.

Can art be a tool for repair? And what happens when exhibitions themselves move across borders?In this episode of Our World, Connected, host Christine Wilson dives into the relationship between art, architecture, and place — and how both disciplines are being used to challenge colonial narratives, spark dialogue, and imagine alternative futures.Christine is joined by writer, artist and curator Rosie Olang' Odhiambo, who speaks about her collaborative, cross-disciplinary practice and her recent exhibition, In Transit: Under Another Sky, which she co-curated with E.N. Mirembe. First shown in Kampala and Nairobi, and soon opening at the Africa Centre in London, the exhibition weaves together sound, image, and text to explore transience, marginal identities, and shifting geographies.We also hear from Kabage Karanja, an architect and co-founder of Nairobi's cave_bureau. Speaking from the British Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, Kabage reflects on using caves as sites of cultural memory and of decolonial storytelling and his bold vision for architecture as a force of geological repair.Together, Rosie and Kabage explore what it means to tell stories of place, migration, and resistance — and how visual arts and architecture can both reflect and reshape the world we live in.Listen to Our World, Connected, brought to you by the British Council.

Victoria Uwonkunda, reporter and presenter for BBC News, speaks to Bobi Wine, the Ugandan opposition politician, as he reflects on the personal and political challenges he has faced as well as his determination to run again as President in the next election. Born in the slums of Kampala, Bobi Wine -birth name Robert Kyagulanyi - first entered the political arena in 2017 when he was elected to parliament with huge popular support, so much so that he became known as the ghetto president. He went on to run against President Yoweri Museveni in the 2021 election - taking on a leader in power for nearly 40 years.But the campaign was rocked by violence and for Bobi, countless times in jail.Now Bobi Wine is preparing to run again in the 2026 presidential election.

Originally from the village of Mutungo, Uganda (near the country's capital of Kampala), Jon Muq's journey to his current life of touring with an Austin, Texas home-base has been unconventional. Onboard the Cayamo cruise earlier this year, we talked to Jon about his childhood experiences, including fetching water with friends and "We Are the World," which was the first Western music he ever experienced. He also recounts the emotional reunion with his twin sister at the Cambridge Folk Festival, revealing how distance from his family has shaped his identity as an artist. He had not seen her, his friends, or any family before that for many years due to leaving originally to work on a cruise ship (the same line we were cruising on!) and work visa realities.Jon discusses the moment he first held a guitar at age 19, which felt like a natural fit. He shares how traditional Ugandan music influences his sound and how he began learning English through song before mastering the language. Jon speaks about his experience with food; growing up, his family was food insecure. When he started performing on cruise ships, he was overwhelmed by the amount of food available. He explained the ever-present googly-eyes on his guitar, which tie into learning about distinct cultural differences between America and Uganda. Like many countries, it is normal in Uganda for male friends to hold hands. This and many cultural differences were learned the hard way for Jon, so the eyes on the guitar symbolize an always smiling friend that will be there for him. He wraps up this episode of Basic Folk with a great lightning round giving us the inside scoop on the best food aboard Cayamo, his dream collaboration and, in his opinion as an industrial design student, what's the most beautiful product in the world.Follow Basic Folk on social media: https://basicfolk.bio.link/  Sign up for Basic Folk's newsletter: https://bit.ly/basicfolknews  Help produce Basic Folk by contributing: https://basicfolk.com/donate/ Interested in sponsoring us?

In this focused and practical message,  Brian Kelly shares from his experience as a preacher and church planter on the necessity of clear, intentional sermon outlines. “If you don't have a plan, all you have is a wish,” he says—reminding us that Spirit-empowered preaching still requires thoughtful preparation. Recorded live in Kampala, Uganda, this episode explores how well-structured outlines help preachers deliver the right message to the right people, and why relying solely on emotion or stirring stories isn't enough to sustain a faithful ministry.Brian Kelly has dedicated over 23 years to pastoral ministry, demonstrating a lifelong passion for church planting and global missions. He and his wife, Lynne, spent a decade in Uganda, where they established a church and launched a Calvary Chapel Bible College extension campus to train leaders for ministry. After their years in Africa, they served as missionaries in New Zealand, leading Calvary Chapel Auckland. Throughout his career, Brian has been instrumental in planting churches both in the United States and internationally. Currently residing in Florida, he is the lead pastor of WestChurch, a congregation he founded three years ago. Brian and Lynne are blessed with three grown children, all actively involved in ministry.Recommended Links: How to Build a Sermon Outline / Kako Napraviti Nacrt Propovedihttps://cgnmedia.org/channel/the-expositors-collective/video/how-to-build-a-sermon-outline-kako-napraviti-nacrt-propovediCrafting Captivating Sermon Outlines with Alan Stoddardhttps://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/crafting-captivating-sermon-outlines-with-alan-stoddardSermon Preparation: Step by Step with Brian Brodersenhttps://cgnmedia.org/podcast/expositors-collective/episode/sermon-preparation-step-by-step-with-brian-brodersenFor information about our upcoming training events visit ExpositorsCollective.com The Expositors Collective podcast is part of the CGNMedia, Working together to proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and plant churches.

A mix beamed in from the future by singeli's young star. If singeli has a new era, DJ Travella is its leading light. At just 23 years old, the Tanzanian producer is pushing the genre into fast, frenetic and unmistakably futuristic territory. And while there aren't too many entries in the RA Podcast's 20-year history where you can say, "this has no parallel whatsoever," RA.984 shatters that assumption in style. Singeli emerged from Dar es Salaam's underground in the early '00s, forged from limited resources and unlimited creativity. Producers looped and sped up taarab instrumentals using basic software like Virtual DJ, creating a sound that was chaotic, witty and lightning fast. With support from local studios like Sisso and Pamoja, singeli took root as the breakneck pulse of Tanzanian youth culture. Travella—real name Hamadi Hassani—came up outside that infrastructure. He began producing music aged ten, self-taught and internet-savvy. By 2022, he was touring Europe with Kampala-based collective Nyege Nyege and gaining global attention for a distinct style he's dubbed "cyber-singeli." Like gabber, hardcore and jungle before it, singeli is unapologetically go hard or go home. It's unique and utterly infectious. After all, what could possibly connect pop provocateur Arca to the late president of Tanzania? Not much—except singeli. Travella's RA Podcast is a white-knuckle ride through this blistering sonic universe. It's wild and joyful yet controlled—a window into one of the most exciting young minds in global club music. @user-643479850 Find the interview and tracklist at ra.co/podcast/984.
