Reposted• @turbanistaparis Tanzanian Legend #bikidude (Fatuma binti Baraka)🕊 One of many amazing women who paved the way for generations of women. 🙏🏾 "The Zanzibari singer Bi Kidude (Kiswahili for "Little Granny"), who has died at the age of around 102, had a haunting voice and enigmatic stage presence. In the last 30 years she came to be widely recognised as one of the finest musicians from an island famous for spices and open to influences from the east. Along with the pioneering teenager Siti binti Saad, Bi Kidude was one of the first Zanzibari women to lift the veil and sing in public. This was a courageous move in a society where women were confined to purdah. The two were the first female communicators on the island and in mainland Tanzania, of which Zanzibar is now part. The women's messages were provocative, often ridiculing men's sexual behaviour and sometimes decrying the abuse of women. In 1928, Saad travelled to Bombay to make some of the earliest recordings by an African artist. Bi Kidude set out in the other direction, starting a marathon tour of east Africa. She travelled to the mainland by dhow and moved around occasionally by train, but mostly on foot. Following this journey of personal liberation, she returned home. She married but was unable to conceive and was divorced by two husbands. Then she moved into a small clay house in the Shangani quarter of Zanzibar town. She went to small taarab social clubs, usually run by women and, most importantly, became involved in unyago, the initiation procedure for Swahili women. The ritual washing and the social and sexual education that follow a girl's first menstruation are accompanied by traditional songs, drumming and dancing. This drumming ceremony is one of the rare occasions where African women play instruments. The unyago women discuss with their charges many issues that are otherwise taboo in African society. The climax of unyago ritual is the wedding, a colourful event at which Bi Kidude and her friends would play their drums and sing provocative songs to an audience of hundreds of women. She helped initiate so many girls over the years that she acquired the nickname “the guardian”. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDn84_zJ1h-/?igshid=146rn8kan4zem

#Mood like a revolutionary, femolutionary. When they draw a line and say you can't cross it cos you are woman. Like when they lock you out of your office #StellaNyanzi and your body is your only shield. Woman, naked, powerful.
