Good timezone fediverse,
Today's song is Nijaay by Orchestra Baobab

Orchestre Baobab is a Senegalese band formed in 1970 in Dakar, Senegal as a multi-ethnic, multi-national club band. The group plays an Afro-Cuban-Caribbean fusion. They mix Casamance harmonies and drumming (from southern Senegal), melodies from Togo and Morocco as well as Wolof (from northern Senegal) influences.

Can't emphasize enough how much I enjoy reading the @thecontinent - it's a Saturday morning highlight, even when the stories are dark, there's always hope in it. These days it feels like a minor act of resistance to seek out news from new places where people are doing their best to build up the bulwark of solid information against the power of manipulated narrative.

Flipboard@flipboard.social - What is the most inclusive film festival in the world? @thecontinent says it’s the Berlinale, which this year supported multiple African movies and auteurs. The Golden Bear — the festival’s grand prize — was won by Senegalese-French Mati Diop for her art reparations documentary, “Dahomey.” She is the first Black person to win that award.

En Guinée, c’est un ouf de soulagement pour les victimes du massacre du 28 septembre 2009. Les autorités ont annoncé la prise en charge de leurs frais d’indemnisation. Cette annonce intervient huit mois après le procès pour crime contre l’humanité de l’ancien chef militaire Moussa Dadis Camara président de la transition au moment des faits. Un geste qui soulage des centaines de victimes de ce massacre.#Afrique #JournaldelAfrique #Guinée #Massacre #MoussaDadisCamara #Sénégal #Art #Togo

qui intervient au #Sénégal, et particulièrement en #Casamance, je suis partie prise. L’arrivée de l’inspecteur limogé Latyr dans cette région me rappelle trop mon propre premier séjour…
Le premier livre que j’ai lu, qui parle, d’une façon romanesque certes, des problèmes mais aussi de la beauté de la Casamance
