Kim made a comment about your link: "Wanda, I loved your show today on the Araceli Theater, and not just because I'm the publicist. Also, the spiritual music was just great. Thank you. The gentleman who lost his son to cancer had a very selfless, and loving story."

King Sunny Ade in concert was one of the best birthday presents I could have given myself! We arrived just as the set was about to begin, and for the next 2-plus hours he danced and sang me into the next day-- He even has a song on the reissue of his Seven Degrees"Congratulations" (Happy Birthday). Yes, and the CD arrived on Juneteenth just before I left for the concert. I got it autographed...and now wait for 11 AM to arrive for an interview to be aired later. It was the best party ever!

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!

    From the archives will feature rare audio interviews from artists and revolutionary thinkers I've interviewed in the past ten or so years (2008-1998). Each show will be just an hour, but in that hour these artists and culture workers will share perspectives on life I treasure as I'm sure you will.

    Today is the birthday of John Coltrane. Born John William "Trane" Coltrane (September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. We'll be featuring music composed and performed by Coltrane, his late wife Alice Coltrane and son, Ravi Coltrane from Alice Coltrane's "Translinear Light" and John Coltrane's "Ballads" with the JC Quartet and perhaps a selection from his last live recording at the Olatunji Cultural Center April 1967. Also today we look at the life of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, whose birthday, Monday, Sept. 21, would have been his 100th. He was the first president of a free African nation, who dedicated his life to his people--a Pan African nation. That his noble life was concluded in exile, reminds me of that of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey and for that matter Richard Wright. His was a vision of a United States of Africa. We'll play excerpts of his speech to the UN Sept. 23, 1960 and I'll share an introduction to the UN address, written by his good friend, W.E.B. Dubois who lived out the later portion of his life in Ghana. I also have another couple of jewels by the very prolific writer and scholar, Dr. Nkrumah. We are joined in the studio by Ghanaian native sons and daughters, musicians, choreographer and singer: Kwama Thompson, Nii Armah, and Pope Flynn to talk about their patriot and world leader who passed April 27, 1972. The Nkrumah excerpts are taken from http://www.nkrumah.net/un-1960/index-nkun-1960.htm We also want to remember the life of writer/scholar Elsie Washington, whose life will be celebrated this Sunday, Sept. 27, in Oakland. She was the first author of a romance novel with black characters. I remember when my husband brought home a copy to surprise me. I recall thoroughly enjoying it. Never would I have imagined meeting the author, let alone calling her friend. She was a lovely women and we miss her tremendously.

    Vieux Farka Touré

    Mali’s bluesman Ali Farka Touré has passed the torch onto his son Vieux Farka Touré, whose self-titled first album on World Village Music (www.worldvillagemusic.com, US release: February 13; Canada, February 6, 2007) features the final studio recordings of the older Touré before his death in March 2006. The album, which also features kora-player Toumani Diabaté, draws heavily on the same blues-inflected North African desert traditions that Ali Farka Touré made famous on such albums as the Grammy-winning Ry Cooder collaboration Talking Timbuktu (World Circuit). Vieux’s debut pays musical homage to his father’s roots with familiar trancey guitar-work while incorporating new musical influences from reggae to rock. He will be singing many of these songs on his debut North American tour in July and August. “Here in Africa, he who teaches you in life, you will follow his path,” explains Vieux in his austere yet grounded way. “Our lives here in Mali are like that. Much of what I sing on the album was his wisdom, teachings that he passed down to me. As he neared the end of his life, I knew that the wisdom he imparted on me was important to spread.”
