Nelson Mandela a perdu de sa lucidité dès 2008. C’est ce qu’affirme Jonathan Shapiro, le caricaturiste le plus en vue en Afrique du Sud, qui signe sous le nom de Zapiro. Il fait partie des Sud-Africains qui estiment qu’il est temps de laisser Mandela reposer en paix. C’est ce qu’il suggère dans un dessin qui a été modifié par l’un de ses rédacteurs en chef.

Hey! Would you like a contest on this page? Tonite, we're 184 members... It would be nice to have plenty more #africanmusic lovers join us...
Here's an idea (the contest's not launched yet....): * invite as many people as possible. * once they've joined, find a way for me to know these new members came through you (any idea how to properly and easily do that => please add a comment). * the 3 members who'll have referred the most new members, will receive +Djeli Moussa Diawara's 2 latest albums as digital downloads - AND - the new members referred by these friends will receive these albums as well!

For those who like raw #desertblues , here's a project (and people) to support: Session pour Yehia Le Marabout was recorded in '94 by members of Super 11 from #Gao
Does anybody know anything related to a Nigerian band called "The Warrior", with an album recorded in 1974? Found stuff for "Sir Warrior", but nothing else...
Lead singer Moussa Ag Keyna who, together with Aminatou and French producer Dan Levy, has created a sublime new African desert sound, but behind that smile, the nomad on his camel hides many problems. A nomad, who has spent his whole life amongst the compounds of the Sahara desert, is loath to leave. He follows his camels on the quest to find water, he tends his animals whilst absorbed in song, he wraps his face in the turban that protects him from the harsh desert sands. This is the life he has always known, a life he doesn't want to leave behind. But political persecution and drought are destroying this existence. Moussa Ag Keyna was driven from the struggle of liberation by injury to France where he changed his gun for a guitar. Despite the pain and sadness in the songs, there is also a passion for the desert that emerges through the lively rhythm, the vibrant melody and an irresistible pop sensibility.
The city where I now live is best known in France for Bishop Bossuet (1627-1704), "theologian, renowned for his sermons and other addresses. He has been considered by many to be one of the most brilliant orators of all time and a masterly French stylist."
I'll visit his gardens and place near the cathedral soon and post some photos...
