Cuando la musica va mas allá de transmitir cultura, cuando el idioma de la musica es amor
Aprendí francés escribiendo todas las letras de la música que me flipaba. Me flipaba tanto que dejé todo por ir a Francia y conocer y aprender más de todo eso que me resonaba por dentro. Allí me fusioné con el mix de la cultura arabeafricanafrancesa. Canciones como esta a mi me enseñaron mucho de la vida y me ayudaron a desarrollar para mejor la mia
I think its really cute that Manuel gets the most love from comments! I think he deserves it, because even I have dubbed him as the Best Boy. But, Mani has mixed feelings about receiving praise and being considered the favorite. He’d sooner think people are lying to him than believe they actually like him that much. Because, why would they?
His view of himself comes from years of being stuck in the middle.
Okay so, I don’t feel like it’s just me that’s made this observation but:
Ororo’s character has been in publication for like 50 years and writers haven’t given thought to what cultural practices/background she hails from other than just a specific geography. That’s CORNY.
Her mother’s from northwest Kenya, but what tribe is she? What are her cultural practices? Africa is a continent, Kenya is a country with multiple ethnic groups that have their own subsections of practices and beliefs. Does Ororo lean toward her mother’s native heritage or does she largely follow Egyptian culture because her formative years were spent on the streets of Cairo? Did she ever struggle with a disconnect between these regions when she went back to Kenya to be the Windrider? All questions I’m way more interested in having answered than whatever love triangles the X-Men have going on this week.
My favorite thing is when well meaning Westerners are like “oh well that homophobic/sexist/bigoted law was from the British Colonial era so it’s actually Europe’s fault it’s still in effect to this day.” Like as an American I can tell you when you get rid of the British you can also get rid of their laws! I’ve never paid a special tax on tea in my life.
