Quadron is a group out of Copenhagen, Denmark. The handy shazam app on my iPhone put me up on these two while I was in LA, early December. Get familiar.
Ethno-mathematician, Ron Eglash at TED, speaks on prominence of fractals in the design of daily Afrikan life. Effin’ DOPE!
WORD OF THE DAY
BANGARANG: hubbub, uproar, disorder, disturbance.
I have recently taken up studying new languages. Not new like some shit language never spoken before but a language I don’t currently speak. As an Afrikan in the diaspora it was important to me that this language be a non-colonial, Afrikan language. For all I hear about how beautiful french or spanish is, it just does not connect me to anything I deem more important than a connection to Afrika.
The two languages I am working on at this time are Amharic (Ethiopia) and Kiswahili (Kenya, Tanzania). In my Amharic studies I have had to learn an ancient alpahabet, feedel, known as ge’ez. This online aid has proved most helpful.
The background music fades out when the woman begins the feedel.
