In this episode, Profs Devin Bryson (Illinois College) and Molly Krueger Enz (South Dakota State University) discuss their co-authored monograph, Projections of Dakar: (Re) Imagining Urban Senegal Through Cinema (Ohio University Press 2024). “Projections of Dakar studies the audiovisual creations and practices of twenty-first-century Senegalese filmmakers living, working, and distributing their films in urban Senegal. Although some observers have described contemporary Senegalese cinema as a dying industry, this book shows that it retains great potential. Senegalese cinematic practitioners are forging unique, dynamic responses to social challenges and producing content in innovative forms.” Music: Africa by Ismaïla Lo             Ndakarou by Youssou Ndour

To buy wolfie a Coffee Click Here: https://buymeacoffee.com/forestfantv Join us on Forest Fan TV as we dive into the latest transfer buzz surrounding the Reds ahead of the summer window. Our top story focuses on Greek striker Vangelis Pavlidis, who's been lighting up the Portuguese league with Benfica. With an impressive goal-scoring record this season, Pavlidis has caught Forest's eye, but his hefty €80M release clause might be a stretch. Could the Greek connection with Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis play a role in making this dream move a reality? We break down the chances, his fit in Nuno's system, and whether Forest could negotiate a deal below that blockbuster price tag. Drop your thoughts in the comments – is Pavlidis the answer to our striker search? In our second story, we're talking about Como's red-hot winger Assane Diao, who's turning heads in Serie A just months after his January move from Real Betis. The 19-year-old Senegalese star has already notched 8 goals and 4 assists, drawing interest from heavyweights like Manchester United and Juventus. With a reported £35M price tag, Forest face stiff competition to land this exciting talent, but his pace and flair could be a game-changer for the Reds. Should Forest splash the cash to beat the big boys to Diao's signature, or is it too soon for him to make the Premier League leap?

In my African Latin Music mix, I will lean heavily on an outstanding musician from this music genre, Pape Fall. He blew my ears apart when I first heard his music and his name resonates deeply within the world of African and Latin music. Pape Fall is a Senegalese musician, singer, and saxophonist, Fall has spent decades crafting a unique blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with traditional Senegalese melodies with Latin influences. As the founder of the renowned band African Salsa, he has left an indelible mark on the global music scene, carrying the rich musical traditions of his homeland onto international stages. As the founder of African Salsa, he has brought his vibrant sound to audiences worldwide, blending the rich musical traditions of Senegal with Latin influences. A Journey Through Music Born in Dakar in 1947, Fall began his musical career in 1966 with Dakar Rhythm before joining the legendary Star Band in the 1970s. In 1976, he formed African Salsa, a group that quickly gained popularity for its infectious energy and innovative fusion of styles. Their first major international release, Artisanat, showcased Fall's exceptional talent on the saxophone and vocals, earning him recognition as a pioneer of African salsa. Beyond African Salsa, Fall played a key role in other influential groups, including Nder de Dakar and Kassé Star. His career has spanned over 20 albums and extensive tours across Africa, Europe, and the U.S., spreading the rhythms of African salsa to global audiences. The Sound of African Salsa Fall's music is a masterful blend of Senegalese mbalax and Cuban salsa, featuring intricate percussion, dynamic brass sections, and rhythmic complexity. His lyrics, sung in Wolof and French, explore themes of love, culture, and social issues, resonating with fans across generations. A Lasting Legacy With a career spanning nearly six decades, Pape Fall remains a celebrated figure in African music. His contributions continue to inspire musicians and preserve the legacy of African salsa, ensuring its influence endures for years to come.  Info Website - www.jazzmattersuk.com Supporting Blog - https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/blogs/jazz-matters-digs-african-latin For all social media links and more visit my Linkhub. https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/linkhub Jazz Matters Info - https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/about Email - jazzmattersuk@mail.com Info about me - https://www.jazzmattersuk.com/introducing-jazz-matters/introducing-ray #OnDemand #FreeToStream https://pod.co/nudirections  Stream in and enjoy the Music I love.

In this episode of Visual Intonation, we dive deep into the world of Alicia Mendy, a Swiss filmmaker whose works are shaping the future of cinema with a bold and unique vision. Born in 2000 in Lausanne, Switzerland, to a Senegalese father and an Italian mother, Alicia brings a rich cultural perspective to her films. Graduating in 2023 with a Bachelor's in Cinema from HEAD-Geneva, she is rapidly becoming a fresh voice in the industry. But what truly sets her apart is her ability to merge African spirituality, fantasy, and science fiction into stories that not only entertain but also enlighten. Her films give life to African and Afro-descendant experiences through captivating narratives and striking visuals.  We explore Alicia's artistic journey, from her early studies in sociology to her pivot into cinema, which now bridges the gap between African traditions and contemporary filmmaking. Central to her work is a deep reverence for African spiritualities, storytelling, and oral traditions. Whether crafting utopian worlds or dystopian futures, Alicia's films are infused with themes of identity, belonging, and the power of culture to transcend time and space. Her short films, such as 'Beutset', 'Souvenirs du sable', and 'Dysutopia', reflect her profound connection to West Africa, particularly Senegal and Guinea-Bissau, blending history, myth, and futuristic imagination into a singular cinematic voice.  But Alicia's talents don't stop at directing. She's also a composer, creating original soundtracks that span genres from classical to electro and Afro rhythms. Her score for 'Beutset' is a testament to her versatility, capturing the emotional essence of her films with music that speaks directly to the soul. In addition to composing for her own projects, Alicia has contributed to the works of other filmmakers, including Myra Lou Ana Thiémard's 'Gavilán'. The synergy between her music and visuals creates a multi-layered experience for audiences, making her films not just a visual feast but an immersive auditory journey.  Alicia's impact is already being recognized on the international stage. Her film 'Beutset' won the prestigious Best School Film Award at the Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, cementing her place as a rising star in the global film scene. As she continues to push the boundaries of genre and storytelling, Alicia Mendy is quickly becoming a filmmaker to watch, one whose work challenges, inspires, and invites audiences to rethink the future of African cinema.

Trade disruptions and their impacts on agricultural markets: Looking back and ahead

IFPRI-AMIS Seminar Series | IFPRI Policy Seminar Trade disruptions and their impacts on agricultural markets: Looking back and ahead Co-organized by IFPRI and Agricultural Market Information System (AMIS) January 13, 2025 Global agricultural markets have been in a constant state of uproar over the past 5 years. Trade wars between major trading nations such as China, US and Australia, supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic, Russia's war in Ukraine, crisis in the Middle East and export restrictions have diverted supplies, altered trading patterns, increased price volatility which often makes markets less efficient and more costly. Despite these disruptions, the global grain and oilseed trade showed much resilience–importers found alternative suppliers, buyers adjusted by changing the timing of purchases, and inventory management practices went from “just-in-time” stocks to “just-in-case” levels, even if storage of food commodities can be costly. Perhaps remarkably, prices spikes and periods of high price volatility during the period have been relatively short-lived. But storm clouds are again on the horizon. Amid trade tensions between China and both Canada and the EU over electric vehicle imports, the possibility of new tariffs being imposed by the US president-elect on Canada, Mexico, China and other trading partners there is the possibility of counter measures impacting agrifood trade. The continued war in the Black Sea and conflict and instability in the Middle East mean that the threat of future trade disruptions on agri-food commodities will continue to roil global markets. This seminar examines the impacts of recent trade disruptions in agri-food commodities and explores how markets can build resilience to possible future disruptions.

On December 1, Senegal marks the 80th anniversary of the Thiaroye massacre. On that day in 1944, at least 35 Tirailleurs – members of a colonial infantry unit from Senegal who served in the French army – were gunned down by French forces for demanding their pay after returning from World War II. For decades, the French army justified the killings, claiming the carnage was in response to a "mutiny". It was only in 2012 that then-president François Hollande referred to a "bloody crackdown." On November 28, President Emmanuel Macron finally acknowledged in a letter to Senegalese authorities that the horrific event that unfolded in Thiaroye in 1944 was indeed a massacre.

Colorado-bred, LA-based keyboardist Lao Tizer embodies what it means to be a 21st-century musician inhabiting the jazz sphere ¾ that being one who embraces musical diversity and has no fear of crossing boundaries. But Tizer also happens to come by this naturally. As the self-described “child of East Coast Jewish hippies,” he was exposed to and was influenced by his parents' extensive musical tastes from a young age: “My dad had a huge music collection. He loved classical music and had all this world music ¾ Ravi Shankar, R. Carlos Nakai, music of the Sufis ¾ plus my parents were boomers, so that brought in all the Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, Elvis, Janis Joplin, and Motown. The Temptations were my favorite band as a kid. So, I basically grew up with everything but jazz, which I didn't really discover until I was about 16.” It was a couple of seemingly random selections from the Columbia House mail-order club that turned him toward a new and lasting musical direction. ”It was buy one, get twelve free, right? So I ordered Miles Davis's Kind of Blue and Miles & Quincy Live at Montreux. Then one Sunday morning, it all just kind of hit me. To a lot of people trained in the classical tradition, jazz sounds like it breaks all kinds of rules, but I just heard there was a whole other world to explore there.” From there, Tizer hit the ground running, applying his classical piano skills to jazz and releasing his first self-produced solo keyboard albums while still in high school. After graduating from Boulder High, Tizer moved to LA and studied with legendary piano guru Terry Trotter for about two years, forgoing formal music education. “Instead of going to music school, I just got my butt kicked on the bandstand. I was always working with musicians who were older and more experienced. School's great but there's no better way to grow than playing with people who are going to push you to grow. I was so green, man. Learning to play in a band concept ¾ playing in good time with a rhythm section–was one of the most challenging things, coming from being a solo pianist.” But his approach and talents served him well. At 19, he formed and led the first band under his own name, taking indirect inspiration from another iconic jazz entity. “When I got into listening to The Pat Metheny Group in the late ‘90s, they had that “formula” that definitely spoke to me ¾ great, through-composed music with a lot of room for improvisation. That's the formula that I love” In the ensuing years and through various incarnations, The Lao Tizer Band has flown by that directional compass while infusing the bespoke influences and experiences that inform Tizer's musical worldview. Subsequently, the band attracted many top players to its ranks ¾ GRAMMY-winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal (Chick Corea), Emmy-winning guitarist Chieli Minucci (Special EFX), Senegalese bassist Cheikh N'Doye (Baaba Maal), violinist extraordinaire Karen Briggs (Stanley Clarke), GRAMMY-winning drum phenom Gene Coye (Hiromi) and legendary GRAMMY-winning percussionist Munyungo Jackson (Stevie Wonder) ¾ and became a steady presence at LA hotspots like The Baked Potato as well as entertaining audiences at premier jazz festivals around the world. Milestones among these were The Hollywood Bowl Jazz Festival, Cape Town Jazz Festival, Java Jazz Festival, and Atlanta Jazz Festival. The six albums he has released as a leader have seen Tizer steadily grow while constantly defining (and redefining) who he is as a keyboardist, composer, and bandleader. “I think the most important thing as an artist and composer is to have your own identity and your own sound. Everybody comes to where they are in music through whatever path they have followed and I think staying true to what brought you to where you are now helps to create your own true voice. I think I have always had that.” But not content to rest, Tizer recently decided to take another bold turn with his music. In 2018, The Lao Tizer Band released Songs From The Swinghouse, a project that included fresh, sophisticated takes on a number of vocal-oriented covers from seminal artists such as U2, Led Zeppelin, and Cat Stevens along with a collection of seven original instrumentals penned by Tizer. The album was released to critical acclaim and notched the Top 10 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz album chart. “We were always only instrumental until that record. The concept was to reinvent covers like ‘Ramble On,' ‘Pride in the Name of Love,' and ‘Sad Lisa.' I had never arranged or recorded any vocal material with my group before, so to take those tunes and make them our own was really fun.” Now, with his forthcoming album, Amplify, Tizer ups the ante by bringing original vocal-oriented songs into his mix of smart instrumentals ¾ as well as a few potent new additions to the band. “A big part of the concept for Amplify is to cross over. It's not really a “jazz” record but it definitely has jazz elements, no question. The band still features the core lineup we've had for a while now with Eric, Chieli, Karen, Munyungo, Gene, and Cheikh, but now there are a few new faces involved in the group. Namely saxophone and flute wunderkind Danny Janklow (MONKestra) and Rolling Stone 2022 ”Bassist of the Year” nominee Anthony Crawford (Erykah Badu), who shares low-end duties with Cheikh. We augmented our already large band with a horn section and background singers on a few songs as well. The album is nine songs ¾ five vocal, four instrumental ¾ all original, no covers.” But perhaps Tizer's most intriguing choice of secret weapon for Amplify is bringing American Idol star Elliott Yamin to handle the vocal material. “Elliott's first album had that platinum hit single “Wait For You.” He's very much a throwback to a blue-eyed soul kind of vibe and it was amazing to be able to bring him into the band. This project was a little outside his stylistic wheelhouse because it is a bit more adventurous harmonically. I think he was a little intimidated by the music early on but he's such a remarkably gifted singer and he's just singing his butt off. He's turned out to be unbelievable in this project and the band. He's super gung-ho about it too, which is great. I couldn't have asked for a better fit!” With these continuing steps over boundaries into new stylistic territory, one might wonder if Tizer has any trepidation about alienating the core base of jazz listeners he's built up over time. Quite the contrary, it seems. “I love that longstanding boundaries in music are getting broken down. Artists like Snarky Puppy, Robert Glasper, and Kamasi Washington have proven this theory that I've long held: If you have music that's melodic and grooves, you can win over a very broad array of listeners.” Indeed, Tizer testifies to having seen the evidence firsthand. “There's been a really cool renaissance and rebirth with all these genre-defying artists and I've seen a shift in the crowd at our shows too. There's a lot of 20 and 30-somethings coming out, and that's so cool. That's what the future audience is going to be. If we want to have long careers like our predecessors, we need to have our peers and younger listeners connect to this music and follow it.” With eyes set on the future and a willingness to keep exploring, Tizer's simplest ethos perhaps sums it up best: “I say forget the boundaries. Just make good music and try to connect with as many listeners as you can.

John Mawson returns to the podcast after successfully launching his "Unsinkable" project with partner Misha Crosby. Unsinkable follows the adventures of the 16 surviving crew members of the San Demetrio, a fuel ship abandoned on a North Atlantic convoy crossing in 1940 after being attacked by a German "Wolf Pack." After floating at sea for several days and nights, the crew was left with no choice but to execute an audacious plan: reboard the vessel, extinguish the fire, then heroically repair the ship enough to limp through rough seas and U boats into western Scotland, navigating without charts or instruments. The 11-episode series stars Brian Cox, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, John Malkovich and Nathalie Emmanuel. Mawson worked on this project for more than a decade before bringing it to life. The Ojai resident talked about his own career at sea as a navigator, the Age of Exploration, his own dauntless probably ancestor Douglas Mawson, his future plans for this project as a TV series and what's next for him. We did not talk about the Atlantic Overturning Meridonial Overturning Circulation, Senegalese hip hop or Dolly Parton.

It's New Orleans: Louisiana Eats

For those in the hospitality industry, there are few honors more prestigious than winning a James Beard Award. This year, New Orleanians were thrilled when the Beard Foundation named the Big Easy's Dakar NOLA Best New Restaurant in America. Those familiar with Chef Serigne Mbaye's original take on his native Senegalese cuisine were not surprised. On this week's show, we celebrate the local 2024 winners and nominees. First, we talk with Ti Martin, a member of the famous Brennan family and one of the grande dames of the New Orleans restaurant industry. Along with her cousin Lally Brennan, Ti has spent more than a quarter century at the helm of legendary Commander's Palace. A multiple James Beard-winner herself, Ti tells us about the party she hosted at her restaurant to recognize this year's local honorees. Next, we hear from mixologist extraordinaire, Chris Hannah. His Jewel of the South tavern, named the 2024 James Beard Best Bar in America, serves as both a center of cocktail innovation, and an homage to Crescent City highball history. Finally, Best Chef of the South nominee, Arvinder Vilkhu, along with his son, Ashwin, recount the story of their restaurant, Saffron Nola. Here, diners enjoy the Vilkhu family's personal blend of Indian and Creole flavors that earned a Best New Restaurant nomination just months after opening.
