Things can get tense between lawyers, police and judges when human rights cases are being litigated.  But veteran human rights lawyer Arnold Tsunga has a tried and tested strategy for keeping things cordial.

With North Korea becoming ever more repressive and closed to the outside world, what is the best path to change? For some, aggressive advocacy for human rights is needed; for others, especially an older generation of North Koreans who have found their way to the south, unification of the two Koreas should be the priority.  Still others, particularly the younger generation of South Koreans, doubt the value of devoting a lot of energy and resources to changing the status quo.   Hanna Song, Executive Director of the Database Center for North Korean Human Rights, reflects on what underlies the differing views and ambivalence and argues that it's critical to understand and listen to those who have escaped from North Korea. And in the Coda, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer relies on soccer to keep things cordial.

Gemma Griffiths is an Afro-fusion, award-winning star, proudly hailing from Harare, Zimbabwe. In this episode, we got to sit down with this multifaceted artist on what it means to be 'A Girl From Harare', as per the title of her latest album. We also speak to her about her love for Zimbabwe; what driving across Africa to make her album was like; how she acknowledges her privilege of being white whilst navigating predominantly black spaces; the curation of the Live version of her album; her backstory and what lies ahead for her.Keep Up With GemmaInstagram: @gemmamusic_ Twitter: @gemmamusic_ Facebook: Gemma Griffiths Zim Watch ‘A Girl From Harare' The Live Album Recorded at the National Gallery here.Watch ‘A Girl From Harare' | The Documentary here.About GemmaGemma Griffiths, a household name in Zimbabwe with 4 x ZIMA's (Zimbabwe Music Award) under her belt, she also counts another two awards from Star FM and a string of nominations for the prestigious MAMA's (MTV Africa) and Afrimma Awards.Gemma grew up in Zimbabwe and continued her education in the USA, on a trumpet scholarship.  She then moved to Cape Town to begin her career and shared the stage with some of South Africa's finest, like - Freshly Ground, Goodluck, Majozi, and Matthew Mole. A personal career highlight was sharing the stage with the late great Dr Oliver Mtukudzi at Artscape Theatre.It was Gemma's love of Zim-Dancehall,  that inspired a rendition of ‘Musarova Bigman', a track by her favourite artist – Winky D also a Godfather of the scene. Gemma's version showcased her distinctive vocals accompanied by the piano, singing in both English and Shona. Thanks to social media, her version gained notoriety across Zimbabwe, catapulting her into the dancehall space as an artist as well as putting her directly in front of the man himself…and in 2019, her life changed forever. By 2020, Gemma independently released her debut EP ‘Pamwe' via The Orchard.  The second instalment, ‘A Girl From Harare', was released in February 2022 alongside a mini documentary of the same name.Gemma's joint first love with travel is playing live and this has seen her take her brand across the continent and beyond. 2022 unveiled a nationwide tour of 11 shows across Zimbabwe, with an artist community of friends such as Nutty O,  DJ Tamuka, rapper Holy Ten and  DJ King Her. She also toured Dubai and Australia alongside Sungura legend, Alick Macheso.Whilst Gemma is regarded a national treasure to many, she continues to carve out an international trajectory with music – carrying her beloved home country with her. She says, “I owe so much of my journey to Zimbabwean music culture and to Zim dancehall. I'm grateful for my upbringing, for my parents and my country, as before anything else, I am a Zimbabwean.”.We'd love to hear from you!

Here are three stories from James A Honey's African Folktales book. In story one, the animals dance until the water comes, but Rabbit doesn't want get his paws dirty. After the animals get water, rabbit swims in the water and makes it all muddy. The animals decide that he should pay for his attitude and rudeness. But who will catch him and who will make him pay? In the second story, Jackal is caught in a trap while trying to sneak off with some young meat. Monkey thinks this is hilarious, but Jackal convinces him that it is all just a game and that Monkey should come and try. Will he fall for it? In story three, Lion and Jackal are again hunting together. It goes about as well as it did last time, and Lion ends up getting more than his fair share. Source: South-African Folk-Tales by James A.

Hey there, my wise friends and welcome to Episode 40 of The Collective Wisdom Podcast. I have an amazing guest to bring Season 4 to a close. Daniel Bauer is a teacher, coach and mentor. it's fair to say, to millions of people. He runs a really successful podcast called Better Leaders Better Schools, which although it's aimed at educators and school leaders, is actually relevant for anyone who wants to seek some professional development. He asks better questions, he has conversations with really inspired people, and his love of learning comes through all the time. Danny believes that the number one thing that makes a difference to students is the quality of the teaching and the quality of leadership in schools. And as a school leader himself, he could never quite understand why schools were set to compete against one another, when actually if they collaborated and supported and encouraged one another, school leaders learn to get better together. So he set up a series of masterminds and has just written his latest book, which is called 'Mastermind Unlocking Talent Within Every School Leader' And it's all about the wisdom and experience that he's learned in the process of setting up these masterminds. How that encouragement and support has really built up a network of school leaders who are becoming better leaders every day. He lives and breathes his own philosophy, which is that everybody wins when a leader gets better.   Daniel Bauer is an unorthodox Ruckus Maker who has mentored thousands of school leaders through his Better Leaders Better Schools blog, books, podcasts, and powerful coaching experiences.   Mastermind: Unlocking Talent Within Every School Leader is a book that reimagines what professional development for school administrators looks like in order to meet the needs of all school leaders who currently feel isolated and overwhelmed.   Websites and Social Links BLBS Website: https://betterleadersbetterschools.com   Mastermind Book: Unlock the talent of school leaders  https://us.corwin.com/en-us/nam/mastermind/book275490#description Book discount code: Use "RUCKUS" for 20% off the cover price + free shipping!

Our first in this series examined the music of Oliver Mtukudzi. In this episode, we extend this conversation, interviewing Vurayai Pugeni about his work as a peacebuilder with Grow Hope Globally, the Mennonite Central Committee, and Score Against Poverty. We explore the meaning of Tuku music in Pugeni's life and work. And then we turn to a fascinating story of the "Men Can Cook" cooking competition - An initiative that found an innovative and creative challenge to patriarchal structures and resulting food insecurities for families, women, and children.

Having played for Oliver Mtukudzi, Fungisai Zvakavapano and Mahendere brothers, Mono Mukundu is a legend in the zim music industry. His album       titled, chronicles of a rough journey, went under the radar but the jamaican groove in his songs bring outa sound that has been missing in Zim music reggae. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-yevanhu/message

Oliver Mtukudzi is one of the great Zimbabwean/Shona musicians within the post-colonial history of Zimbabwe. He is a musician who lived out ethics of community, relationship, and dialogue in challenging listeners with songs of advice and dialogues of questions. With Dr. Jennifer Kyker, we explore how his music is an expression of Hunhu (related to the South African concept of Ubuntu). At its simplest level, Hunhu is a description of interdependent nature of our relationships, being a person through others. At a more complex level, we explore how Mtukudzi's songs of Neria, Tozeze Baba, Wasakara, and Izere Mjepo transform and deepen notions of dialogue, empathy, multiple interpretations, and take a strong stand in advocacy of justpeace and humane care.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1.

Oliver Mtukudzi was loved by people all over the world for his unique melodies – and by Zimbabweans for the messages of hope contained in his lyrics. There was a huge outpouring of grief when he died on 23 January 2019. His songs spoke out against women who were thrown out of homes when their husbands died, the stigma of HIV/Aids and spoke up for children suffering at the hands of alcoholic, abusive fathers. To the chagrin of some, he steered clear of direct political confrontation with former president Robert Mugabe. But his 2001 song Wasakara, meaning "You Are Too Old", was banned as it was seen as a coded reference to Mugabe. The BBC’s Kim Chakanetsa paints an intimate portrait of one of Africa's musical giants

Zimbabwe’s Oliver Mtukudzi, one of the most beloved singer/composer/bandleaders out of Africa in the last century, died in Harare on Jan. 23 2019 after a long battle with diabetes. Tuku, as his fans knew him, composed countless songs that cut to the heart of life in Zimbabwe, from its struggle for freedom in the 1970s through the rocky road of independence ever since. In this program, we look back at our conversations with Tuku going back to our first visit to Zimbabwe in 1988, and hear his wonderful music at various points in his epic career. We also speak with his biographer, ethnomusicologist Jennifer Kyker, and take a deep dive into what made Tuku music so special and the stories behind some of his most important songs. Produced by Banning Eyre. This is the EXTENDED VERSION (1:04:15)

This episode is centered around the lyrically gifted Tocky vibes. Tocky Vibes is a Zimbabwean afro beat musician. We get to play his New music from the album Chamakuvangu and talk about why he needs to be appreciated more by Zimbabweans and how the great Oliver Mtukudzi knew Tocky was going to play a big role in making Zimbabwean music more marketable to the rest of the world. facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Podcast-yevanhu-107218430772868/?modal=admin_todo_tour twitter _ @GreatZimbabwe2 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-yevanhu/message

A lot has happened since Afropop last visited Zimbabwe. The 37-year regime of Robert Mugabe has ended, and Thomas Mapfumo, the Lion of Zimbabwe, has staged a triumphant return concert after a 14-year absence. Meanwhile, the country’s youth now moves to the groove of Zim-Dancehall from the likes of reigning star Winky D, and gospel-trad roots music from Jah Prayzah. On this program, we catch up with all these new sounds, hear the latest from Oliver Mtukudzi, and meet one of the most creative singer/songwriters on the scene these days, Victor Kunonga. Produced by Banning Eyre. APWW #781 Originally broadcast June 2018.

2 Broke Twimbos continues to blaze the way among Zimbabwean podcasts, and really in the world (or if there are any podcasts in space, the universe) as we bring you another episode, fresh from the oven, served piping hot, with none other than recent viral sensation Vimbai Zimuto. In this steamy exposé, watch as all is revealed and laid bare, the naked truth presented as we strip the covers off the stark facts and show you what is really going on au naturel. We go in depth with Vimbai, discussing her history, working as a backing vocalist for Oliver Mtukudzi, her music plagiarism case from 2016 with Fungisai Zvakavapano, the steamy music video for the song Hapana Kawunoenda, and of course the backlash surrounding her controversial nude art on social media. We also discuss Cyclone Idai and the good work that many have done to provide relief, the situation with Siya Kolisi’s Instagram DM’s and his wife Rachel Kolisi’s reaction and more!

Oliver Mtukudzi arguably the most talented musician to ever come out of Zimbabwe. Multi award winning and a father figure to many passed away and it felt only right to do a tribute for him but with only some of his featured music. facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Podcast-yevanhu-107218430772868/?modal=admin_todo_tour twitter _ @GreatZimbabwe2 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/podcast-yevanhu/message

Tribute to Zimbabwean singer Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi; New CD from Bassekou Kouyate; Groundhog Day / St. Brigid's / Candlemas; and lots of Driven Bows

Sadza In The Morning — Another heavy week, we lost legendary musician Oliver Mtukudzi, the whole country was and is still in mourning. Along with that mourning came a lot of weird stuff, we go through it all, from Bev's twerking, Celebs posturing for photos, Chamisa being blocked, ED and co disowning his twitter account, Mutodi showing his ass. All this distracted us from paying our respects to our legend.

In a special episode of 2 Broke Twimbos, the podcast you love to hate to love puts together a tribute to Zimbabwe’s greatest ever musician, Oliver Mtukudzi, after his untimely passing last week. Dan & Phil reminisce while inviting those who were close to him to do the same. In this episode, the 2 Broke Twimbos call on Tuku’s former lead guitarist Mono Mukundu, his frequent on-stage collaborator and mentee Tariro NeGitare and his most recent manager Walter Wanyanya to share their experiences with the legendary Zimbabwean treasure, as well as express their own tributes. The moving episode also features a heavy music element as each guest was asked to pick one favourite Oliver Mtukudzi song, while Dan & Phil picked 3 songs each:Mono Mukundu - Handiro Dambudziko Tariro NeGitare - Chiri Nani Walter Wanyanya - Ndima Ndapedza Danny that Guy - Ndakuvara, Mutserendende, Kunze Kwadoka Phil Chard - Andinzwi, Mbabvu Yangu, Chimbambaira Chiri MupotoEnjoy!Subscribe and listen to 2 Broke Twimbos everywhere podcasts are availableWebsiteiTunesSpotifyStitcherTuneInYouTubeRate and review to win movie tickets!Click here to donate to 2 Broke Twimbos

RIP Oliver 'Tuku' Mtukudzi 22 September 1952 - 23 January 2019.

Today we lost a true African patriot: Africa's and Zimbabwe's most iconic musicians died on January 23, 2019. Simply rest in peace "Tuku" - RIP. The voice of Oliver Mtukudzi has given us comfort and will remain with us for generations, and his career ranging from white minority ruled Rhodesia to majority-led Zimbabwe, and series of hits across Africa and international along with several African musicians he become a nation builder: where it was necessary to criticize, he would, and where it was necessary to praise, he would.

Este AfroClub lo dedicamos ante todo a algunas de las novedades discográficas de los últimos meses que más nos han gustado, y entre todas ellas tenemos que destacar el primer trabajo de Djeneba & Fousco, una pareja de músicos de Malí que nos han fascinado con un trabajo sorprendentemente maduro, basado en la rica tradición de la música de los griots del oeste africano. Una propuesta moderna que se apropia de esto sonidos para llevarlos al blues, al reggae o a la música de baile. Escucharemos además los últimos discos de dos veteranos de la música africana, el angoleño Paulo Flores, interpretando semba, la ritmo de baile más conocido de su país; y también está el incombustible Oliver Mtukudzi, que con más de 70 años ha grabado ya más de 50 discos, y nos sigue demostrando que está en plena forma con su magnífico estilo de tocar la guitarra acústica y su excelente voz.Novedades desde Cabo Verde con Lucibela y Nancy Vieira, dos voces privilegiadas que nos llevan a los ritmos más representativos del archipiélago, la morna y la coladeira, y que nos siguen demostrando el enorme filón de las voces femeninas de este país. Y hay más debuts discográficos en este programa. Guy One, un prestigioso músico de bodas y bautizos del pueblo fra fra, en el norte de Ghana, que actualiza los ritmos tradicionales basados en el sonido del kologo, el instrumento de dos cuerdas del cual él es un virtuoso. También tendremos al maliense Ousco, una de las grandes revelaciones actuales del reggae africano, que en su primer disco en solitario nos transmite un mensaje de esperanza para llegar a un mundo más justo.La parte final del programa de hoy la dedicamos a la rumba keniata, a recuperar algunos de los grandes de la adaptación de la rumba congoleña que se hizo durante los años 70 y 80 por músicos de Kenia, de Tanzania y del Congo, que formaban parte del circuito musical de Nairobi. Ellos añadieron diversas influencias de los ritmos de todos estos países a la rumba, creando un estilo propio. Hemos seleccionado a Samba Mapangala, Simba Wanyika y a la Orchestra Super Mazembe que nos darán una visión variada de la enorme calidad de todos estos músicos, de sus magníficas harmonías vocales y las maravillosas combinaciones que creaban con los sonidos de las guitarras y las secciones de viento, que formaban parte esencial de su forma de entender la música.

We have a chat with Oliver Mtukudzi about the reason behind the name of his new album Hang'Ya, how many songs were written for it and the loss of his friend Hugh Masekela. Interviewer: 3-mob.com Chief Larry Kwirirayi

Hemos tenido la suerte de compartir este AfroClub con Juno & Darrell, que se han acercado a nuestro estudio para presentarnos su álbum de debut, Universo, un disco donde la electrónica se encuentra con la música africana junto al soul o el jazz, creando un sonido único, repleto de atmósferas envolventes. Repasamos con ellos prácticamente todo el disco, y nos cuentan todo acerca del proceso de creación y producción de cada uno de los temas del album, explicándonos también el sentido de sus letras. Una auténtica gozada poder disfrutar de sus sensaciones que nos ayudan a entender su obra y su música. Además, nos regalaron dos magníficos temas en directo donde pudimos disfrutar con los teclados de Darrell y con la hermosa voz de Juno. También hablamos con Juno & Darrell de uno de los instrumentos tradicionales africanos más importantes, la kalimba o mbira, que ellos han incorporado de una forma natural a su propuesta musical, y con esa excusa se nos colaron en el programa dos músicos africanos de alto nivel. Por un lado, Oliver Mtukudzi, al que recordamos que hace unos años nos ilustraba en un taller como las guitarras de Zimbabwe imitaban los acordes de la mbira. Y por otro lado, también tenemos a los congoleños Konono Nº1, grandes maestros de la experimentación con sus mbiras electrificadas, amplificadas y distorsionadas, que las llevan al límite en su fusión imposible entre electrónica y música tribal, y que según nos confiesan Juno & Darrell han sido una gran inspiración para ellos en este disco, Universo, que tanto nos ha entusiasmado, y que estamos deseando disfrutar en directo en la gira que comienza ahora.

The wait is over. The Muffinz have finally released their much-anticipated sophomore album, "Do What You Love"-- following the success of their critically-acclaimed, award-winning debut, "Have You Heard" in 2012. After touring widely since the release of their first album (selling out venues like New York's famous Apollo Theatre along the way), and sharing the stage with legendary artists like Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Oliver Mtukudzi (who features on their latest album), I asked them to give an honest account of what it's really like to "be a Muffin". I also get a little personal in this episode as I reveal some interesting shared history I have with one of The Muffinz, and reflect briefly on the importance of choosing work that is both purposeful and fulfilling.

The tour stops in Oakland, CA, at the Paramount Theatre, then on to LA. Tuku began recording in the mid-1970s as a member of Wagon Wheels. After WW rolled to fame in Southern Africa, Tuku formed the Black Spirits, the band which backs him to this day. Tuku's music is heavily influenced by chimurenga music, which in Shona means music of "struggle," the genre pioneered by Thomas Mapfumo and inspired by the mbira (thumb piano). A fantastic writer and creative artist, Tuku reflects in his music the lives and histories of his people, a people who love freedom and justice and are tireless in their quest to achieve such.
