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.

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.

In a powerful act of recognition, the Spanish city of A Coruña has officially honored Ibrahima Diack and Magatte N'Diaye, two undocumented Senegalese migrants who risked everything to save Samuel Luiz, a gay man brutally attacked by a homophobic mob in July 2021. While others stood by, these two men intervened, attempting to stop the assault that ultimately took Luiz's life. Their actions were pure altruism, as noted by Mayor Inés Rey, who declared them "sons of the city." Despite the risk of arrest or deportation due to their undocumented status, they acted without hesitation, later stating, "We are not heroes; we did what we had to do." Their bravery not only attempted to save Luiz but also played a crucial role in justice being served—four men were convicted, receiving sentences between 10 and 24 years. The court confirmed the attack was homophobic. Though the tragedy remains heartbreaking, A Coruña's recognition of these two men is a reminder that courage and kindness still shine through, even in the darkest moments.

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. Join us as we explore her creative vision, influences, and the power of cinema to connect us to deeper truths about our world and ourselves. Alicia Mendy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alimmendy/?hl=enAlicia Mendy LinkTree: https://lnk.bio/alimmendy?Alicia Mendy's Mubi: https://mubi.com/en/cast/alicia-mendySupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

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.

Caldera returns to Berlin-based Nummer Music with a stunning remix, just over a year after his “5D Worlds” EP was released on the label.  The original track is a playful & eclectic 11 minute journey from 1994, filled with fun moments of breaks, samples & warm FM chords. It's seeing the light again as Nummer's first reissue on the label, originally released 30 years ago on French label Virtual by Parisian-born / Okinawa-based producer Paul Mahoux aka BùLù. Caldera's remix is a smooth & floaty ride, gradually building over the course of its entirety, a patient display of tension & release. Right away you can hear some of Caldera's very distinct sounds & recognizable stylistic choices - otherworldly textures which bring an airy sheen to the higher end of the frequency spectrum as well as sharp yet delicate percussion. There is a warm, crystal clear low end & about halfway through, sub that hits right in the chest for a moment of pure bliss as the energy of the track softly dissipates in the second half.  “Silicon-Shepard / Senegalese-Sharpshooter” will release on December 6th on Nummer Music in both physical & digital formats.

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.

Political parties in Senegal are campaigning in a parliamentary race that will decide the extent to which the new President Bassirou Diomaye Faye will be able to implement his agenda. Campaigning officially kicked off on Sunday. President Faye's Pastef party is competing for a majority that would secure his mandate, but former ruling parties have formed a rival coalition, including the country's influential ex-presidents Macky Sall and Abdoulaye Wade. Khaita Sylla, an independent civil society actor, tells VOA's Douglas Mpuga, there has been some violence since the start of the campaign.

Too often simplistic arguments against educational change are that providing more opportunities for increased agency for young people (following their own questions, inquiries, cares etc) means less rigour, depth and intellectual stretch. Anyone who has been involved in these approaches in sustained ways knows that this isn't the case. However, the myth persists. This week it is my great pleasure to be in conversation with Michael Strong who has had an extensive career in many different educational systems and approaches, but with a fascinating mix of classical practices such as Socratic Dialogue and entrepreneurial skills. Michael Strong is one of the most experienced innovative school program designers in the U.S. He is the Founder/CEO of Socratic Experience (an online academy blending Classical and entrepreneurial education), Flourishing Adolescent Cultures Initiative at the University of Austin, and the Academy of Thought and Industry (ATI), a network of Montessori-aligned high schools with campuses in Austin, San Francisco, New York City, and St. Louis. His projects include Montessori secondary school program design for Montessori schools in San Antonio, Palo Alto, and Pleasanton, California prior to launching ATI. He also created The Winston Academy, where middle school students passed AP exams, and Moreno Valley High School, a Paideia charter high school in Angel Fire, New Mexico, ranked the 36th best public high school in the U.S. by Newsweek in its 3rd year of operation and continued to outperform other New Mexico high schools.  He is the author of The Habit of Thought: From Socratic Seminars to Socratic Practice and lead author of Be the Solution: How Entrepreneurs and Conscious Capitalists Can Solve All the World's Problems. He introduced the expression “Startup Cities” in a 2013 Voice & Exit talk which has led to a vibrant “Startup Societies” movement around the world. He is also a co-founder of FLOW, Peace through Commerce, Conscious Capitalism, and Radical Social Entrepreneurs. He serves on the boards of Radical Social Entrepreneurs and Social Evolution. He is the only “Michael Strong” married to the powerful and beautiful Senegalese entrepreneur Magatte Wade.

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.

Senegal is undergoing a political re-alignment as the country prepares for an instant legislative election on November 17. The parties of former Presidents Macky Sall and Abdoulaye Wade announced Monday that they have formed a coalition.

Hello, and welcome to episode 153! This week, I am joined by Marie DeCosse, the founder and CEO of Nomad Travel Groups, which launched a week before this podcast episode's release. Read below for a description of what Nomad Travel Groups can offer.As founder Marie DeCosse sat with friends gazing at the tranquil waves ebbing from the coast of Saboga, Panama, a conversation unfolded about life's joys—relationships, freedom, and travel. This conversation sparked a realization: why work tirelessly only to savour such moments a few times a year?With a background in international tax and a passion for travel, Marie created NOMAD to transform conventional home and time-sharing models."This generation was given an early taste of what work-life balance means. We've learned we don't need desk chains or lengthy commutes to succeed," says Marie. Recognizing a gap in the travel industry, NOMAD was born—a home-sharing service that caters to a new breed of travellers seeking long-term stays without logistical headaches and monetary constraints. NOMAD simplifies travel by curating Travel Groups aligned with location and property preferences, fostering connections, and streamlining arrangements—all at an accessible price point. We are the accommodation solution for the modern-day traveller. Marie joined me to discuss everything with Nomad, and I asked every question I could think of to give the listener the best possible idea of this new business within the travel space. I also get to hear about Marie's upbringing in Madascagar and Bangladesh and the return culture shock of going back to the USA. Marie is half Senegalese, so we hear why that country is a must to visit, especially because of the people and food. We hear about Marie's dream place in Europe to be located in the future, her challenges with setting up a new business, why being Senegalese culture is her favourite, and so much more!It's a super exciting product and a great conversation. Please check out Nomad Travel Groups and Marie's details below. Nomad Travel GroupsWebsite - https://wetravelnomad.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wetravelnomad/?igsh=aTQ3b3Vmc3BlMTR2TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wetravelnomad?_t=8lyaQRmOHlP&_r=1LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/nomad-travel-groups/Marie DeCoseeLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariedecosse/Patreon Shout-OutThanks to Laura Hammond for supporting this podcast.

Senegalese international and former Chelsea goalkeeper Édouard Mendy is considered a legend of football. Becoming the first African to be awarded both the UEFA and FIFA goalkeeper of the year in 2021, followed by a big money transfer deal to Saudi Arabia, Mendy has reached the very heights of the game. But football careers don't last forever, so he is diversifying, and can now add a new line on his CV - as an investor in Francophone Africa. We hear about his work on the pitch to date, what's motivated a move into fintech, and why he thinks footballers need to plan for their future after they give up the professional game.(Image: Edouard Mendy looks on in the paddock during practice ahead of the F1 Grand Prix of Saudi Arabia, 2024.
