Vários artistas “netos das independências” dos países afrolusófonos estiveram reunidos no "Festival Lisboa nu bai Paris", na Gaîté Lyrique, em Paris, a 8 e 9 de Novembro. Esta é “uma nova geração que está a cumprir Cabral”, declarou a investigadora Luísa Semedo, na conferência que marcou o arranque do evento e que teve como mote o legado de Amílcar Cabral. O curador do festival, o músico Dino de Santiago, lembrou o poder transformador da cultura em tempos de extremismos, disse que “o público está afinado, mas quem está no poder está desafinado” e lembrou que “é da responsabilidade de cada um ser um Amílcar Cabral” hoje. Neste programa, gravado ao vivo no dia 8 de Novembro, pode ouvir a conversa que marcou o arranque do “Festival Lisboa nu bai Paris”, na Gaîté Lyrique, em Paris. O festival foi comissariado por Dino d'Santiago que escolheu vários artistas afrodescendentes que têm reinventado, nos últimos anos, a música lusófona. Subiram, assim, ao palco Fattu Djakité, Kady, Nídia & DJ Marfox, Eu.Clides, Umafricana e Soluna, num evento organizado no âmbito dos 60 anos da delegação em França da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian.  “Os artistas que vão estar connosco vêm precisamente destes lugares de uma periferia, de uma Lisboa onde ainda temos pessoas que vivem à margem, lugares onde a humanidade reside com menos doçura. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, destes lugares conseguimos trazer bons cheiros e esperança com a música, com a força da cultura para nos elevar”, começou por explicar Dino d'Santiago. No ano em que a maioria dos países afrolusófonos celebram os 50 anos das suas independências, o evento teve a força de um manifesto cultural, desde logo pelas palavras que marcaram o seu arranque. “Quando há opressão, há sempre resistência. A cultura, a arte também são uma forma de resistência. Vemos isso a acontecer nos “netos da revolução”. Significa que o trabalho de Amílcar Cabral faz sentido e que ele continua vivo”, considerou a filósofa Luísa Semedo, admitindo que, ao olhar para os nomes do festival, vê-se que “esta nova geração está a cumprir Cabral”. O “regresso às raízes” é algo assumido por esta geração que valoriza o poder criativo do legado musical e cultural que herdou. O próprio Dino d'Santiago - com os discos “Mundo Nôbo”, “Kriola”, “Badiu” - vai ao encontro da “reafricanização dos espíritos” defendida por Amílcar Cabral, o líder das independências da Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde e um dos maiores pensadores do anticolonialismo africano para quem as lutas de libertação eram um acto e um factor de cultura. “A minha libertação foi quando senti um verdadeiro orgulho de ser cabo-verdiano também”, confessou o músico nascido em Portugal que se reencontrou nas raízes africanas e admitiu, no debate, que os seus discos “são autobiografias da reafricanização do meu espírito”. Também a directora da delegação francesa da Fundação Calouse Gulbenkian, Teresa Castro, considerou que a cultura e a criação artística têm “esse papel importantíssimo de garantir a libertação dos espíritos” e que o papel da cultura teorizado por Amílcar Cabral é “profundamente actual”. Uma das frases que sintetiza esse pensamento está transcrita no mural de Hélder Batalha na fachada da Fundação Amílcar Cabral, na cidade da Praia: “A luta pela libertação não é apenas um acto de cultura, mas também um factor de cultura”. Quanto ao peso que a arte pode ter em tempos de extremismo e polarização política, Dino d'Santiago lembrou que só é fácil “pilotar” as pessoas se estas tiverem medo, mas que se a coragem imperar “é da responsabilidade de cada um ser um Amílcar Cabral”. Por outro lado, o músico e activista lembrou que “o público está afinado, quem está no poder é que está desafinado”. Pode a música ser um antídoto ao racismo e unir o que a história desuniu? Foram 500 anos de colonialismo e isso “nunca será possível reparar”, mas a reconciliação vai-se esboçando com a arte e é a cantar que Dino d'Santiago responde: “Aqui toda a gente é parente. Terra não é só o lugar onde se nasceu, é também o chão que trazemos na mente. Aqui toda a gente é parente, mesmo quando se nasceu doutro ventre, chamamos mãe ao mesmo continente”. “O público está sempre afinado, por mais que nos tentem desafinar”, sublinhou o curador do Festival "Lisboa nu bai Paris".    De notar que, entre os artistas convidados para o "Festival Lisboa nu bai Paris", a primeira a subir ao palco no sábado foi a cabo-verdiana Kady, neta de Amélia Araújo, a voz da Radio Libertação no tempo da luta pelas independências, e filha de Teresa Araújo, cantora do histórico grupo Simentera que andou na Escola-Piloto de Conacry e conheceu de perto Amílcar Cabral. Kady admitiu à RFI que se sente “de forma visceral” neta da independência. “Eu cresci a ouvir as histórias de Amílcar Cabral, as histórias da luta. Eu sinto-me muito pertencente a esse mundo. É algo mesmo que está nas veias e é uma honra, uma grande honra”, contou. (Oiça aqui a reportagem feita com Amélia Araújo e Terezinha por altura dos 50 anos da independência de Cabo Verde). Por outro lado, a cantora Fattu Djakité admitiu à RFI sentir-se “cem por cento” como “neta de Amílcar Cabral”. “Eu sinto que sou uma representante de Amílcar Cabral porque sou Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde. Sinto que tenho dois corações a bater dentro do meu peito que são a Guiné-Bissau e Cabo Verde pelo simples facto de eu nascer na Guiné-Bissau, ir com cinco anos para Cabo Verde e viver lá há trinta anos. Nunca a Guiné-Bissau saiu de mim, falo o meu crioulo muito bem, sei sobre os costumes da Guiné-Bissau e sei também tudo sobre Cabo Verde. Eu sinto que sou o sonho realizado de Amílcar Cabral”, resumiu à RFI Fattu Djakité no final do seu concerto no sábado.

Send us a textThe passage of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, signed into law on July 18, 2025, represents a landmark moment for cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. Hear from leaders in crypto like Galaxy Digital and BTCS, and miners like Greenidge, BitFuFu, and Soluna on the near term and long term impacts of the US legislation.

The Company designs, develops, and operatesdigital infrastructure that transforms surplus renewable energy into globalcomputing resources. Soluna's pioneering data centers are strategicallyco-located with wind, solar, or hydroelectric power plants to supporthigh-performance computing applications, including Bitcoin Mining, GenerativeAI, and other compute-intensive applications. Soluna's proprietary softwareMaestroOS(™) helps energize a greener grid while delivering cost-effective andsustainable computing solutions and superior returns. A leading developer of green data centers that convert excess renewableenergy into global computing resources. Soluna builds modular, scalable datacenters for computing intensive, batchable applications such as Bitcoin mining,AI, and machine learning. Soluna provides a cost-effective alternative tobattery storage or transmission lines. Up to 30% of the power of renewableenergy projects can go to waste. Soluna's data centers enable clean electricityasset owners to ‘Sell. Every. Megawatt.'

John Belizaire heads up a company called Soluna. It's business model is to tap curtailed renewable capacity -- wind and solar -- and to use this previously wasted energy to power data centers. John explains that 30 - 40% of all wind and solar farms is curtailed... essentially "stranded " capacity. By utilizing this renewable energy is it monetized... boosting the economics of the renewables while powering data centers with green energy.John, a self-decribed nerd in his youth growing up in Brooklyn, New York, was always at the cutting-edge of computers, even as a young man selling floppy discs in school while others were selling magazines and running newspaper routes. He then went on to Cornell University where he earned two degrees in Computer Science. He then followed that up with an MBA fron the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania. That was followed up by a career that began in finance... prior to tapping into the convergence of the megatrends of renewable power generation and artificial intelligence. The notion of co-locating data centers with renewable facilities first occurred to John when he was visiting a project in Morroco, Africa. How could excess wind there be used? At the time, block chaining and bitcoin mining was on the rise, and there were -- and still are major concerns with the electricity required for these functions. Now most of John's 800 MW of data centers is used for regenerative AI. Instead of building and repowering massive power plants - even nuclear installations -- for data centers, John envisions a future in which data centers are distributed. Soluna has found a logical niche... one which is green in both ways... both in power generation and in data center applications.

Soluna is pioneering a new category of renewable computing, building data centers co-located with renewable energy power plants to monetize stranded or wasted energy while providing sustainable compute power for AI workloads. With over $180 million in funding, Soluna is constructing a distributed network of facilities around the country that enables massive AI compute capabilities while driving demand and resiliency in the renewable energy sector. In this episode of Category Visionaries, John Belizaire shares Soluna's journey from addressing a stranded wind power project in Northern Africa to becoming a leader in sustainable computing infrastructure. Topics Discussed: The evolution of Soluna's business model from blockchain computing to AI workloads How renewable energy curtailment creates opportunities for data center innovation The landscape of renewable power plant ownership and development Building relationships with major power producers and investment funds The technical challenges of creating flexible, distributed computing facilities Content marketing strategies for category creation and demand generation   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Master the missionary sell: John emphasized the importance of education and de-risking in the early stages of category creation. When introducing a novel solution, focus on addressing customer concerns systematically and finding early adopters willing to validate your approach. The first six months were spent convincing power plant owners that computing facilities could work effectively with their operations. Leverage content marketing for scalable education: Initially relying on outbound calls, Soluna transformed their pipeline by investing heavily in content marketing through podcasts, newsletters, articles, and social media. This education-first approach led to 80% of their pipeline becoming inbound leads. B2B founders should view content as a scalable way to address common customer questions and concerns before the first meeting. Build an integrated content engine: Rather than viewing content creation as an overwhelming task, start with recorded conversations that can be repurposed across multiple formats. One conversation can become a blog post, podcast episode, video content, and email sequences. This approach creates a content library that continuously generates marketing assets while maintaining consistent messaging. Target the convergence of major trends: Soluna positioned itself at the intersection of renewable energy, cryptocurrency, and AI computing. While some of this alignment was fortunate timing, the company's planned evolution from cryptocurrency to broader computing applications allowed them to capitalize on the AI boom. B2B founders should look for similar convergence opportunities in their markets. Focus on systemic industry problems: Soluna identified that renewable energy curtailment was a widespread issue affecting plant profitability. By understanding the "McDonald's and Burger King problem" of optimal resource locations creating grid congestion, they developed a solution that addressed a fundamental industry challenge rather than a point problem.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co

Data centers are an impressive energy success story. Over the last 25 years, internet traffic has climbed more than 500x while data center electricity use has remained flat.  The servers and energy infrastructure have gotten wildly more efficient, and the biggest tech companies have focused on powering those warehouse-scale computers with renewables. But a lot of people are suddenly alarmed about data centers again, as energy demand for AI surges. Data centers are getting built so fast, many utilities are pushing for lots of new fossil gas plants to serve them. And while tech companies have made strong progress on building renewables to match data centers, grid constraints are making it harder. We have a very small window to fully decarbonize the grid – this may make it harder to squeeze through it. So, are growing concerns over AI's power demand justified? How are they contributing to America's growing hunger for electricity? And what technologies and grid management techniques can address it?  This week, we've assembled a group of experts to answer those questions: Brian Janous, co-founder of Cloverleaf Infrastructure; Michelle Solomon, senior policy analyst at Energy Innovation; and John Belizaire, CEO of data center developer Soluna. This conversation was part of Latitude Media's Transition-AI series. Watch the full event here. Utility rates could make or break the energy transition – so how do we do it right? On June 13th, Latitude Media and GridX are hosting a Frontier Forum to examine the imperative of good rate design, and the consequences of getting it wrong. Register here.

The Vision of Children of the Rainforest: We envision a world of thriving rainforests, clean water, and abundant biodiversity. Where ancestral ways of nurturing the Earth are honored and children learn from elders how to care for the planet for all future generations. We believe Indigenous communities in the Amazon rainforest play a crucial role in protecting and nourishing biodiversity and they must be protected as their land and people are under threat of deforestation. We believe the most effective solution to protect the Amazon rainforest from deforestation and exploitation is to empower Indigenous communities to remain on their reserves and strengthen and expand the demarcation of Indigenous land rights. We believe Indigenous languages hold millenary wisdom and functional knowledge of the plants and biodiversity of the rainforest that cannot simply be translated. When an Indigenous language goes extinct the biodiversity and land suffers. We believe that language is the heart of culture. When an Indigenous culture loses its language, the culture is in danger of extinction. Without Indigenous communities thriving on their reserves, what will happen to the land, rivers, animals. Who will protect the Amazon rainforest?   This week we sat down with Andrew Soluna, a psychotherapist, director of Children of the Rainforest, and spokesperson and protector of the Yawanawá people of the Amazon rainforest. This episode is a powerful conversation about how to preserve ancestral wisdom cultures, why these traditions are so crucial for the flourishing of mankind, and what role each one of us can play in this guardianship.  Andrew humbly shares his own personal story, of how he came to be in the role he is today, working on the grass roots level to support his teacher and friend, Chief Iskukua Yawanawa of the New Hope Village, in his vision of preserving and protecting the Yawanawa people and their language. Andrew shares about the journey he took to bring him to where he is today in his work and service, and the many lessons he learned along the way about the power of relationships and the interconnectedness of humanity.    Children of the Rainforest is a beautiful organization, one that we at Four Visions back wholeheartedly, and it is a true pleasure to get to bring you this wonderful conversation today. In this episode, you will learn: About the important role thatIndigenous communities have in protecting and nurturing the biodiversity in the Amazon rainforest, and how vital this biodiversity is for the whole planet The impact of language on culture and how we can ensure that Indigenous languages are not lost. Lessons and wisdom we can all learn from traditional indigenous cultures and and how we can foster relationships with them from a place of awareness, humility, and respect   In This Episode: Andrew Soluna | @andrewsoluna | @childrenoftherainforest Mariah Gannessa | @mariahgannessa   This podcast is brought to you by Four Visions Website | fourvisions.com Instagram| @fourvisionstribe Facebook | Four Visions Youtube | Four Visions   Nominate a podcast guest!

This week host Alex Kehaya joins serial entrepreneur John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Computing the leading developer of green data centers for batchable computing, Join us for a great conversation on renewable energy and powering the future.

Today's conversation is a wide-ranging look at how to provide reliable power using renewables while mitigating intermittency and helping Independent Power Producers (IPPs) deal with the annoying curtailment problem through novel software and hardware solutions. Been wondering when I'd do an episode on Bitcoin mining + Renewables? Buckle up and let's roll."Curtailment" occurs when a clean energy electric generating system is prevented from exporting to the grid or is temporarily shut down by the grid operator (usually because of a glut of electricity in the market), effectively wasting energy.Many people have talked about this issue, but few have delivered on it like John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna.Soluna Holdings develops green data centers that convert excess renewable energy into global computing resources. Soluna builds modular, scalable data centers for computing-intensive, batchable applications such as cryptocurrency mining, AI and machine learning. John said Soluna provides a cost-effective alternative to battery storage or transmission lines by using technology and intentional design to solve complex, real-world challenges. It's addressing significant changes in the electric grid — away from power plants fired by coal, oil and gas that contribute to climate change — to more sustainable green electricity generation. But even the staunchest supporters of clean electricity acknowledge the industry is dealing with growing pains, including curtailment. John said up to 30% of renewable energy goes to waste. To address it, Soluna is building data centers that enable clean electricity asset owners to 'Sell. Every. Megawatt.' In today's podcast, John breaks down Soluna's mission and how its solutions address curtailment. Join us for insights on an increasingly critical renewables issue.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog.SunCast is presented by Sungrow, the world's most bankable inverter brand.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you here: www.mysuncast.com/sponsorsRemember you can always find the resources and learn more about today's guest, recommendations, book links, and more than 550 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on Twitter, LinkedIn or email.
