Nine people I’d like to know better (Tag Game)

I Got Tagged, Here You Go

Tagged by @gwen-tolios

One-sentence byline: Strange creature of a person who dabbles in many things arts and sciences and likes spreading good feelings.

Last song: Suzie Noma by Muthoni Drummer Queen, found it through the video game Beyond Blue and am quite happy. Did not like swimming around open ocean, that's a nope for me.

Favourite colour: I suppose purple. It can be very lovely in all shades and brings a nice richness or lightness, depending if it is jewel or pastel.

Currently watching: I don't really watch much, as I don't pay for subscriptions. Sometimes anime, my favourite is Mushi-Shi. Someone has me started on Into Your Eternity but it's not getting watched because I have been on gaming/creating recently.

Last movie/tv show: Children of the Sea (Kaijuu no Kodomo), second rewatch finished today. I had my wisdom teeth extracted so I took it easy for a couple of days there and rewatching things has my brain happy.

Spicy/savoury/sweet: Sweet, mostly. Savoury is getting up there. Spicy is a no.

Relationship status: Single-pringle, happy about it, relationships are not my thing.

Current obsession: I’m going to make another shirt today. Or at least cut it. This is going to be the Christmas-themed fabric I got, my last one was the gnomes.

Last thing you googled: Boor-Zwah Dress from Fable II. I know someone who wants to recreate the dress and was trying to find high enough quality screenshots of it for her to do so. It kind of went alright, I only found two decent ones but it is a front and a back.

Tagging: @foldingfittedsheets, @moth-queer, @unashamedly-enthusiastic, @myidealhousehaschickenfeet, @worksfrogressadministration, @mapplestrudel, @ajaxbird, @zooarchaeologyatdinner, @thegaythespian

From Qaraami to Dance-Pop - Women of East Africa

Starting our journey off in... Eastern Africa! Yeah, alright, maybe spoiled slightly in the title of the post.

I've had so much fun with this over the last few weeks, and the result of that is brought to you here through some of my top picks. A moment of silence for the albums I wanted to include but didn't due to not being easily accessible </3

The list is not ordered or ranked in any way, though I will admit I've a certain fondness for Saba and Khadja Nin in particular <3.

For ease of access, here's a playlist of some top tracks from each album (ca. and hour and a half), here's an extended version with additional tracks from some artists not featured on this list (ca. two and a half hours), and here's a playlist of the full albums (ca. seven hours), for all your shuffling needs.

Saba - Jidka (2007) Spotify Youtube - A fun and playful somali italian-influenced pop record with some elements R&B, uplifting and a joy to listen to. As a side node, Saba's life story is definitely a google worth, imo.

Mim Suleiman - Umbeya (2012) Bandcamp Spotify Youtube - An obvious inclusion in my book, just a great beat / electro album with some elements of soul. You really fall into the world of this album.

Aster Aweke - Aster (1989) Spotify Youtube A lovely Tizita album, a gem of ms. Aweke's sizeable discography (which you are definitely encouraged to dig into <3). I am so in love with the horns and little flourishes, and the rhythm is just... mwah. Aweke ties it all together really well.

Khadja Nin - Ya Pili (1994) Spotify Youtube - A already mentioned my fondness for Ms. Nin, but damn if it doesn't bear repeating... By all accounts an incredible record that really should be on your list.

Faytinga - Numey (2006) Spotify Youtube - The steady rhythms and Faytinga's distinctive vocals makes for a great experience certain to draw you in. Impresseive record from an equally impressive person.

Muthoni Drummer Queen - She (2018) Bandcamp Spotify Youtube - A bubbling hip hop album with some flavors of R&B and dancehall. The production on this is great and Muthoni is an incredibly engaged performer. It's just overflowing with life and so, so definitely worth a listen.

Sophie Nzayisenga - Queen of Inanga (2021) Bandcamp Spotify Youtube - The album title says it all, really. Even as someone who's not traditionally drawn to the acoustic for the most part, I really enjoyed this album.

Maryam Mursal - The Journey (1998) Bandcamp Spotify Youtube - An unavoidable inclusion on a list like this, and for good reason. A poppy qaraami record with some jazzy notes that deserves all of the acclaim it's gathered over the years - Mursal clearly knows what she's doing and she does it well.

MC Yallah - Yallah Beibe (2023) Bandcamp Spotify Youtube - Ending here with a very recent release, MC Yallah's latest is just such a solid hip hop record. It flows really well, and the industrial undertones really worked for me, which is rare. Definitely someone to keep a look on, imo.

... and that's the list!

Do you have any favorites not on here? Please (please <3) feel more than free to share! Have fun!

'Power' - Muthoni Drummer Queen

‘Power’ – Muthoni Drummer Queen

Today, the world celebrates ‘International Women’s Day‘, a constant and sad reminder that humanity still needs to remember itself about gender equality. Kenyan rap artist Muthoni Drummer Queen just provided us with a proper anthem for the day. Her new title ‘Power‘ is a feminist manifesto in which she denunciates patriachial societies and likewise portrays female strenght. As the artist puts it…

7 - List all the songs you like in another language

God, this is SUCH an English-speaker question. xD No offense to any of you, as I always say, this is not your fault, but if you live in a non-English-speaking country? You have no choice, at least half your chart will be occupied by English/American artists at all times. And that’s without even going into the fact that if they want to be known internationally, a good chunk of your own artists will sing in broken English.

Anyway, I’m going to answer this with the artists I like in languages that I don’t speak, to make it fair.

Jadal (Arabic). A Libanese rock group I discovered when I was looking for inspiration for Tugger’s band in my Grad School AU. I listen to them especially when I’m writing that AU. I think half the views in their videos are mine, by now. xD

Goran Bregovic (Bosnian). A Bosnian performer and composer, best known for his work in cinema. And I mean, I have no idea what he’s saying, but who needs to, when you can just bounce around along the amazing horns section?? (If you like the horns section of Derulo’s ‘Talk Dirty’, give it a try, you won’t regret it)

Fatoumata Diawara (Bambara). Singer-songwriter from Mali, she sings mostly in her native language, and translations are quite easy to find. She’s clearly worth a listen!

Muthoni Drummer Queen (Swahili). This artist is from Kenya, and it’s kind of cheating, because most of her lyrics are in English... But she does sing in Swahili from time to time!

And I mean, I guess you could count Latin as a foreign language when I listen to Carmina Burana? xD

No More is the 6th Single from Muthoni Drummer Queen's 12 track feminist manifesto  #SHE.

No More tells the story of a weary lover who finds herself in yet another argument with her husband of 14 years after catching him in yet another lie. 

While it is clear that she has tried to leave before, something in the urgent, unrelenting gravel in Muthoni’s voice leaves us convinced that this time, she is really going to leave him.

Best 15 politically or socially conscious tracks from Africa and the African Diaspora

Best 15 politically or socially conscious tracks from Africa and the African Diaspora

Music, as arts in general, is never neutral. It shapes, changes, influences cultures, societies and politics. In some cases, it is used to enforce toxic views on social norms and it can also be instrumentalised by political entrepreneurs. But music can help us to become more aware about political or social problems. The following 15 tracks released in 2020 raise the listeners’ consciousness about…
