A son retour dans l'archipel en 2009, il crée le groupe AJATE, collectif de 10 musiciens passionnés. Leur son unique passe d'un monde à l'autre, joue des rythmes et des mélodies pour créer une musique unique aux racines entremêlées.

Hello Busy Kids Love Music families! I am so excited to welcome you to the fourth annual summer series of our podcast: Around the World with Busy Kids Love Music! This summer, we're packing our musical bags and embarking on a journey to explore folk music from different countries, collecting passport stamps along the way. DOWNLOAD YOUR PASSPORT HERE DOWNLOAD YOUR PASSPORT STAMP FOR ZAMBIA HERE What is Folk Music? Before we dive into our first destination, let's take a moment to understand what folk music is. Folk music tells stories about people, places, and traditions. It's music that has been passed down from generation to generation, helping us learn about different cultures, histories, and the unique qualities of each place. First Stop: Zambia For our first stop, we're heading to the vibrant and beautiful country of Zambia, located in southern Africa. My family and I had the incredible opportunity to visit Zambia recently, and we were absolutely enchanted by everything -- including the diverse musical experiences we encountered. In this episode, I'll share with you a little of what I learned! Modern Influence and Cultural Fusion Zambian folk music significantly influences modern Zambian music. Imagine mixing a special recipe with all kinds of flavors! People in Zambia love using traditional beats, catchy tunes, and cool instruments to create contemporary songs. Churches across Zambia incorporate indigenous musical elements, creating dynamic and spiritually uplifting worship services. This fusion of musical styles reflects Zambia's diverse cultural heritage and fosters a sense of community and belonging. Listen to the Episode In this podcast episode, you'll hear many of my own recordings from our trip to Zambia, including performances by the Ngoni people, music played on the silimba, and beautiful melodies from the thumb piano. I've also put together a curated playlist on YouTube (linked below) of other examples of Zambian folk music. Make sure you have your passport and your stamp for Zambia, and let's get ready to embark on this musical adventure together! Musical Samples You'll Hear in this Episode: Here is a reel from my Instagram of some of the music you heard from my personal recordings in Zambia. Kalindula Music - Zambian Traditional Music 2023 Tinashé: Mbira version of "Zambezi" Playlist for Episode 125 In addition to this highlight reel of music from my visit, I put together a curated playlist of Zambian folk music on YouTube.

This is episode 171 and now its time to swing around southern Africa again, because as Geoffrey Chaucer wrote in Canterbury Tales in 1395, “Time and Tide wait for no man”. It's from the Prologue to the first story called the Clerk's Tale and the story is imbued with what modern academics call masculine authoritarianism. It's about women's power actually, and insubordination — the plot dealing with a woman called Griselda who rises the highest position of hegemonic power. She becomes the honoured wife of a wealthy lord through utter submissiveness and essential silence. To many modern folks, she represents a kind of prescriptive antifeminist propaganda — in other words — a very accurate description of the medieval period. Others say the strong and silent type is fundamentally insubordinate and deeply threatening to men and the concepts of power and male identity. What is this I hear you ask, why is Zwangendaba part of the History of South Africa? Well, as we all know, lines drawn on maps are cartographical magic codes, and the real world has no place for smoke and mirrors. Once again, we must go backwards to go forward. Zwangendaba was a King of a clan of the Nguni or Mungoni people who broke away from the Ndwandwe Kingdom alliance under King Zwide. After defeat of the Ndwandwe forces under his command by Shaka, Zwangendaba gathered his clan and fled their home near modern the town of Pongola. This dispersal was part of the movement of the people we call the Mfecane. Remarkably, Zwangendaba led his people, who took on the name the "Jele", on a wandering migration of thousands of kilometres lasting more than thirty years. Their journey took them through the areas of what is now northern South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi to Tanzania. The Ngoni, originally a small royal clan that left Kwa-Zulu Natal, extended their dominion even further through present-day Tanzania, Malawi, and Zambia when they fragmented into separate groups following Zwangendaba's death.

Malafo é uma pequena povoação do interior da Guiné-Bissau. Chega-se lá por caminhos de terra sombreados de espessa floresta e, no meio de um terreno de onde brotam árvores de fruto, fica a mediateca 'Abotcha' que significa literalmente 'sobre o chão'. Um espaço que desde a sua inauguração há pouco mais de um ano, em Setembro de 2022, trouxe mudanças na vida da comunidade. Criada com o apoio do realizador guineense Sana Na N'Hada, e da cineasta portuguesa Filipa César, a mediateca 'Abotcha' dispõe nomeadamente de uma biblioteca e de computadores, onde se pode ler e estudar. Algo notável nesta comunidade relativamente isolada, refere o impulsionador e director da mediateca, Amadeu Pereira na Onça, antigo funcionário e primo de Sana Na N'Hada, que realizou o sonho de dar algo mágico à sua aldeia."De facto, tivemos dificuldades no princípio para conquistar as pessoas porque não sabiam que havia uma biblioteca. Elas perguntavam 'porque é que trouxeste esta mediateca para cá na floresta, na tabanca isolada?' Mas viram que as pessoas começaram a vir cá visitar e tomar conhecimento de alguns livros. Este é um projecto ambicioso. Naturalmente que temos alunos aqui. Esta biblioteca e mediateca podem proporcionar um aumento de nível porque a tabanca tem outras tabancas em redor", começa por referir o fundador dessa estrutura."As pessoas aprendem a ler, a escrever, a ler as histórias de outras partes do mundo. Também fizeram aqui um workshop de instrumentos musicais tradicionais. As crianças vêm aqui aprender a tocar cora, balafom, viola dos Balantas, Ngoni e muitos outros. Aqui também há arquivos que falam da luta de libertação e as pessoas têm muito interesse em ver estas imagens também", explica Amadeu Pereira na Onça referindo-se nomeadamente às projecções dos primeiros filmes de Flora Gomes e de Sana Na N'Hada sobre o período da guerra de independência, uma das actividades organizadas pela mediateca.Relativamente a outra componente muito forte da mediateca Abotcha, o cultivo da terra e a sensibilização para a protecção do meio ambiente, o director da estrutura refere que "palmeiras foram derrubadas para fazer o edifício, mas que como ambientalistas, é preciso replantar as árvores. Por cada árvore abatida aí, são repostas 10 a 14 novas plantas para substituir", nomeadamente árvores de frutas.Amadeu Pereira na Onça, que não esconde sentir orgulho por dirigir a mediateca, sublinha que ela "tem um grande impacto. Alerta as pessoas que vale a pena ter uma escola. Faz com que as pessoas tenham mais ambição. Isto aqui é uma maravilha. Quem vem aqui, vê os materiais que estão ali, os livros, os computadores e a impressora -que não havia nesta zona- as pessoas têm a ideia que vale a pena ter uma escola em condições".Para o dirigente da mediateca, de olhos postos noutros projectos, trata-se agora é desenvolver actividades de formação nesse espaço. "A ambição de tenho agora é elevar o nível da escola para o 12° ano e consequentemente chegar até ao nível da universidade, porque as tabancas vizinhas não têm liceu. Também tenho a ambição de ter cursos de formação. As pessoas, depois de concluir o 12° ano, deveriam poder fazer uma formação em diferentes áreas, porque essa comunidade é muito pobre, não tem meios financeiros para custear os estudos lá fora em Bissau ou Mansoa. Se houver esta possibilidade de acrescentar escolas de formação na construção, mecânica, agricultura, pecuária, seria muito importante" conclui Amadeu Pereira na Onça.Eis a visita da mediateca com imagens:

In this episode of Third Culture Africans, Zeze interviews Ngoni Chikwenengere, the ingenious force behind We Are Kin, a women's wear size-inclusive slow fashion brand rooted in sustainability. Ngoni's journey unfolds from transitioning to London at 10, overcoming challenges tied to her African heritage, to founding a blog at 16 that evolved into discussing fashion trends and forging connections with like-minded enthusiasts worldwide. The episode delves into Ngoni's leap into fashion entrepreneurship, establishing "We Are Kin" shortly after graduating from university. The brand's commitment to sustainability through end-of-line fabrics, eco-friendly materials, and a close manufacturing partnership sets it apart. Notably, the brand offers a size range from 6 to 26, showcasing Ngoni's dedication to inclusivity, along with her innovative use of 3D renders that adds a unique dimension to her fashion line. Beyond fashion, Ngoni's lifestyle blogging authenticity fosters trust, while her pragmatic social media strategy involves frequent posting and prioritizing sales. The episode resonates with Ngoni's entrepreneurial drive within the African diaspora, embodying a narrative of visionary sustainability.

We often ask the question, “can fashion ever truly be sustainable?” According to BBC futures, more of us now understand that the fashion industry accounts for about 10% of global carbon emissions, and nearly 20% of wastewater. And while the environmental impact of flying is now well known, fashion uses more energy than both aviation and shipping combined.” Welcome to Changemakers. This is a 5 part mini series focussing on the people and businesses making impactful changes in the sustainable fashion space.Food for thought interlude: What was the most shocking piece of information you learned about the effects of the fashion industry on the climate, that forced you to shift your perspective and take action in your own life?Guests:Ngoni Chikwenengere - founder of We Are Kin Aja Two Crows - Marketing and Communications Manager at TômTex CoAnna Woods - Leadership Coach & Founder of Positive Retail Sources:https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200310-sustainable-fashion-how-to-buy-clothes-good-for-the-climatehttps://unfccc.int/news/un-helps-fashion-industry-shift-to-low-carbonhttps://www.notion.so/Fashion-and-Textiles-Changemakers-8e9c8fced9634fb0839c7a9ee21b1bfeTranscripts for this episode will be available on www.sustainablyinfluenced.com soon.

We are grateful for every opportunity we get to welcome a member of our international staff onto the podcast. To be able to hear their heart behind why they do what they do is a great privilege! Today, we get to welcome Ngonidzashe Mudzani, or Ngoni for short, to the podcast. She started working for HHI Women of Hope at the beginning of 2021, and before that worked for a few other organizations doing similar work. She received a degree in development studies from the Great Zimbabwe University and has a Master's in population studies as well as a certificate in Monitoring & Evaluation. Ngoni has done so much in the almost two years that she has been working with us, alongside our Country Coordinator John Dube and his wife Nakisai. She's trained hundreds of women in business skills, facilitates at least 10 savings groups, and oversees 10 different women's co-ops, 4 of which have started this year. There's sewing groups, peanut butter groups, a couple bakeries, and a popcorn-making group that she meets with regularly to help them solve problems and grow. We hope you enjoy this conversation between HHI President, Art Woods, and Zimbabwe's Women of Hope Coordinator, Ngonidzashe! Links: Follow HHI on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

El pueblo charro de Salamanca y el pueblo gitano de esa zona al parecer se han llevado tradicionalmente bien, según sostiene José Ramón Cid Cebrián, que ha escrito un libro al respecto acompañado de un disco que mezcla, de forma natural, la música de ambas culturas. Con Nano Serrano a la guitarra, empezamos a descubrir la sónica de Charros y Gitanos. Por Salamanca nos quedamos con Gabriel Calvo, que nos habla de su “Folklorquiando” llevado a los escenarios, y Mayalde, con sus próximos conciertos a la vista. Terminamos en Burgos avisando de los conciertos de Blanca Atable pero, sobre todo, por adelantar algo de lo que podrá sonar a partir del sábado que viene en el festival Babieca Folk. Este es el listado de canciones y artistas de hoy; Nano Serrano & Charros y Gitanos, “Alborá charra / Alborá gitana” y “Salamanca la blanca”; Gabriel Calvo, “El conde de Cabra” y “El conde de Alba”; Mayalde, “Si me llevan a la guerra”; Cabra, “La cigüeña” y “Ay de ijilla mía”; Bassekou Koyaté & Ngoni ba, “Desde Malí”; Steph Geremia, “Come up to the room” y “Path across the ocean”; y Blanca Altable, “Rosario con los lobos”.

Cosmic Bos presents Words of Wisdom 6: Nelson Mandela Taken from Cosmic Bos Improvisation 3: Summadelica Featuring Joe Philogene on Ngoni, Nick Jackson on Acoustic Guitar and Andy Jackson on Electric Guitar.

Ngoni Chikwenengere is the founder of London-based womenswear label, We Are Kin. Her past experiences and fashion conscious approach inspired her vision to create a body inclusive and sustainable brand, something that she felt was missing from the market. Born in Zimbabwe, Ngoni fell in love with fashion as soon as she set eyes on the beautiful designs that were featured on the fashion TV during her childhood, as well as being influenced by her mothers personal style. This early mesmerisation inspired her to study a Fashion Diploma and then a BA in Fashion Design at the University of Northampton. In her final year, Ngoni was selected to showcase her debut collection at Graduate Fashion Week in London. In this episode, we talk about how Ngoni's mindset towards the fashion industry changed after seeing the destructive damage it was causing. Her mantra “people and planet over profit” is a key highlight of our discussion, focusing on using sustainable and ethical methods in the design and manufacturing process, as well as how emerging designers can play their part (even on a budget). We further discuss fashion's lack of body inclusivity and marketing for size-inclusive garments and Ngoni tells us about life post-university, with the advice that networking is one of the most important qualities an emerging designer needs. Ultimately, it's not always what you know, but who you know. Overall, this mind-bending podcast focuses on real thought-provoking topics as well as being so inspirational. Before you dive in, we'll leave you with this quote from Ngoni herself: “Do great s***, be amazing and make the planet a better place!” Discover more about We Are Kin & Ngoni: We Are Kin Online store: www.wearekin.co We Are Kin Instagram: @wearekin.co Ngoni's Instagram: @ngoni Follow The Entry Platform for regular doses of fashion, mindset, and business gems on Instagram! @theentry_platform

Improvisation 3: Summadelica Tracklist: Ideas Space Babies On the Take Frantic Pedantic Precious Moments Words of Wisdom 5: Charlie Chaplin Rainbow Appearing Perfect Summer Day Words of Wisdom 6: Nelson Mandela Hold On a Little Longer The Things Words of Wisdom 7: Greta Thunberg Pleased, pleased, pleased, with what I've got Words of Wisdom 8: Ram Dass Moral Compass All music improvised by Cosmic Bos Joe Philogene - Percussion, Ngoni and various instruments Nick Jackson - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Synth and Vocals Andy Jackson - Electric and Acoustic Guitar, Synth and Vocals On the 5th June 2021, Cosmic Bos met at a secret location to record the third in their fully improvised series, with a book full of pre-written lyrics and plenty of snacks. It was a wonderful afternoon of musical exploration, and here for your pleasure is the whole thing, including some of the intros and outros that usually get cut off. The words of wisdoms for this episode where lovingly borrowed from YouTube, with Charlie Chaplin's speech being from the film The Great Dictator (1940) and available on youtube many times, with music accompanying it. Nelson Mandela's speech from his release from prison in 1990 also comes from youtube and shares far to many similarities to Chaplin's speech from 50 years before. Which leads us to Greta Thunberg from December 2019 addressing the UN on Climate Change, with echos of both Chaplin and Mandela. So as not to feel too down and out about the state of the world and the people that patrol it, the final Words of Wisdom comes from Ram Dass, an ever reliable source of great wisdom. The full Ram Dass speech can be found on the Here and Now podcast, link to the specific episode right here. https://beherenownetwork.com/ram-dass-love-incarnation/ All music and lyrics by Cosmic Bos 2021 Please like, share and subscribe Peace and infinite love Cosmic Bos

Like Minded is the third song from the album, with Joe Philogene on Ngoni, Nick Jackson on Electric Guitar and Andy Jackson on Acoustic Guitar and Vocals. Like Minded Lyrics by Andy Jackson  Be like the flow of the river, like the wind to the bee And if that doesn't work, try being more like me Be smart as a sweetie, avoid all hefty fees Although paper does, money don't come from trees Remember to always forget, Your role isn't quite over yet Like a clerk in an office, or the girl out to sea Lonely, if only, they could be here with me Remember to always forget, your meal isn't quite ready yet Like rust in the workings, or sun bleached tapestry Forget to remember, what a memory can be Remember to always forget, you're worth more then you'll ever get Like radio silence on the TV, like visual radioactivity The passive aggressions, and stark futility Remember to always forget, somehow it all can reset Remember to always forget, your meal still isn't ready yet

Perplexed is the first tune from our upcoming new show Cosmic Bos Improvisation Andy Jackson, Nick Jackson and Joe Philogene combine their musical powers to see what happens, and in the case of this particular song, this is what happened.

You want me to put a down payment of how much?! The team starts by dreaming about homeownership goals and aspirations. Jenaya and Alex share a little moment about tiny homes and the whole gang share their expensive tastes. We then try to envision our future trajectories and plan a youth takeover of the Island or simply romanticize starting fresh in Europe. We add a little bit of spice with some trending business buzzwords. [0:45 - 16:52] Today we’re talking with John Rota and Ngoni Nyazika from the Müve Team about all things real estate! In their introductions, both guys talk about their unique route to getting into the industry and show that there is no one-size-fits-all way of becoming an agent. John mentions that getting into real estate is easier than we think (perhaps too easy?) and Ngoni shares the benefits of having a team vs. starting solo. [16:56 - 37:30] Diving into marketing specifics, we talk about the relationship between real estate groups and brokerages. We discuss their marketing techniques and how a group like Müve Team assists agents in developing their personal brands as well. We compare and contrast geographic farming, real estate’s most popular marketing strategy, with the Müve Team’s digital strategy. [37:36 - 57:48] Finally, we bring COVID into the mix a little bit. We look into how the dynamic between agent and client has changed with more digital and masked interactions becoming necessary. We also look ahead to see what their expectations are for the industry not only with COVID but also Gen-Z and Millenials’ perceptions of home buying. [57:55 - 1:16:50] We close out the show with a classic game of Price Is Right! We made short Edmonton house listing descriptions and make them guess the closest price without going over. It’s the real estate vet vs. the new kid on the block in today’s matchup and these old friends like to get competitive with each other. But wait! Things get extra spicy when one of them starts to recognize some of the properties? You’ll have to stay tuned to see what happens. [1:16:56 - end] . . . psst.

The way we set limits has such profound implications for our parenting: it’s the difference between parenting in a constant state of anxiety, and being truly calm and confident that you’re making the right decisions as you move through your day. If we set ineffective limits, our child never knows where we stand.  They push and push and push because they know we will allow it, then finally we blow up because they pushed us TOO FAR and they end up in tears (or angry) and we end up angry (or in tears, or both). But doesn’t setting limits mean being “harsh” or “punitive”?  Not at all!  When we set the right limits (by which I mean the right limits for your family), you can hold those limits effectively and the testing behavior will diminish dramatically. The result?  More harmony at home.  Less uncertainty for you.  More confidence for your child.  Give it a try!   Other episodes mentioned in this episode Why storytelling is so important for our children (https://yourparentingmojo.com/storytelling/) Should we just Go Ahead and Heap Rewards on our Child? (https://yourparentingmojo.com/rewards/) (#) Hello and welcome to the Your Parenting Mojo podcast. Today we’re going to discuss a topic that virtually all parents find difficult at one point or another, and that’s setting and holding limits. What’s the purpose of setting limits? How do we know we’re setting one where we should be setting one? And how do we set them without getting into a big fight over something that ultimately turns out to not be that important? And can there really be cultural issues at play here? Why yes, of course! It’s parenting, after all… So we’ll look at all of these things today. First, let’s examine our WEIRDNESS – or, how people in countries that aren’t Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic do things. The anthropological literature is replete with examples of how children’s behavior is controlled in other cultures, as well as historically in our own. Shame is one of the most common tactics used, as illustrated by this anecdote from a study of the Ngoni ethnic group in southern Africa that I think we mentioned in our episode on storytelling: “A proverb might suddenly be dropped like a stone into a pond. The conversation rippled away into silence, and the boy or girl who had refused to share some peanuts or had been boasting began to wonder to himself: “Can that be for me? No? Yes? It is me. I am ashamed.” No one said anything but the shamed one took the first chance of slipping away to avoid further public notice. The use of proverbs [was] an effective at of making a child learn for himself and apply the lesson.” Zinacantecan elders in Mexico critically discuss the child’s behavior while the child is present but otherwise don’t interact with the child; the child is expected to ‘overhear’ and modify their behavior. Shame is used in a variety of Asian cultures, from Bali to China to Japan to Taiwan. Parents in these cultures will tell others of the child’s misdeeds in front of the child, will ridicule, mock, and laugh at the child. Samoan children are reigned in with threats that animals will come and eat them, and the Kaoka elders on Guadalcanal warn that giants will take naughty boys and girls and carry them off to a cave, where the bodies are cooked and eaten. Frightening Bible stories – as well as folk tales - have been used to control European children; in the 1800s children in England were taken to the gibbet to view rotting bodies hanging there while being told moral stories – and then they were whipped when they got home to make sure the lessons stuck. And where stories, proverbs, and shame fail, corporal punishment picks up. The Mfantse in Ghana will even lightly cuff an infant for crying for no good reason, while parents in Samoa “believe in the unique efficacy of pain as a means of instruction, and the Rwala...

This weeks Storytelling Radio is with Solo Diarra and Ibou Cissokho. They come from a LOOONG tradition of storytellers in West Africa. These storytellers are called Griot. Like many traditional storytellers Ibou and Solo use music with their storytelling. They have the complex stringed instruments called the Ngoni or Chora. Solo and Ibou tell the tough stories of how they learnt this tradition so fundamental to their culture and history in Senegal and Burkina Faso. They tell the story of a lake who became jealous, and of the strong women who compose Griot music.Både Solo og Ibou kommer fra en LAAANG tradisjon av fortellere i vestafrika. Det heter Griot. Som mange tradisjonelle fortellere opp igjennom tiden bruker Ibou og Solo musikk dvs Ngoni og Kora, som er strengeinstrument til å fortelle med. Vi hører om bestemor som oppdrar barna til musikken. Vi hører om en innsjø som ikke vil at menneskene sine drar til naboinnsjøen og sterke kvinner som komponerer griot-musikk med stemmen.

THE JAKE LEG STOMPERS evoke the rebellious spirit and colorful pageantry of American popular music before the Second World War, from the Memphis blues to the Virginia Reel; when jazz began, vaudeville was urgent, and folk music was still dangerous. From their world headquarters in Bucksnort, Tennessee, the band serve up tangy tastes of chicken-fried, pre-war, hokum-billy jug music to gourmet audiences everywhere. The band's latest release is 'Up to No Good'. BASSEKOU KOUYATE is a virtuoso picker, musical visionary and Africa�s greatest in-strumentalist whose work blurs the lines between West African and American roots music. Bassekou�s instrument, the ngoni, is an ancient traditional “spike lute� and an ancestor of the banjo, sharing its taut-skinned drum body, percussive attack, and varied picking techniques. Since 2005, Bassekou has led Ngoni Ba, the first-ever group built around not one but four ngoni�s. Bassekou Kouyate is celebrating the release of his album �Jama ko�.
